Crash-landed alien Harry takes on the identity of a small-town Colorado doctor. Arriving with a secret mission, he starts off living a simple life…but things get a bit rocky when he’s roped into solving a local murder and realizes he needs to assimilate into his new world. As he does, he begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his mission and asking the big life questions like: “Are human beings worth saving?” and “Why do they fold their pizza before eating it?”

"This show is a lot of fun — the humor is often low key sarcastic in a mocking yet fun & delightful way. The Sheriff has some of the best lines, IMO, but the MAIN character (who plays the alien in human form has some of the silliest lines AND the best facial expressions — the expression out of his eyes & his manner of delivery of those lines are what kill me & crack me up. BUT, there are lots of other great characters, too. Great show! Good fun!"
"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/4 Such a fun show and may be one of my favorites now! Alan Tudyk is always brilliant (loved him since Firefly!) but he’s next level in this. Lighthearted and silly for sure but it’s the black humor that just kills me. You keep thinking Harry’s going to start loving earth, gain a conscience and try to fit in with humanity as most alien sitcoms go, but nope. It is literally laugh out loud funny but not really a sitcom and doesn’t shy away from the macabre too. He’s ok with murder, terrorizing kids and destroying earth if he has to. Sara Tomko as Asta is perfect though as the grounding force counterpoint to Harry’s stabby nature. So happy to see Alice Wetterlund as well as I love her standup and also find the complexity of her character Darcy fascinating here. The supporting characters are all great..quirky, edgy, offbeat. All of which applies to the show too lol 👽🛸"
"Can be cheesy at times, but Alan Tudyk is totally hilarious. Edited later: Season one was much funnier than season 2. I've already lost interest halfway through season 2 and doubt I will finish the series. I love the Native rep in the show, but all the narratives seem so forced and where Alan Tudyk's character once carried the show in places where it lacked, he has now become more of a side character. I'm disappointed."
