Resident Alien appreciation thread

[lucas80]

I saw a few mentions of this series, including one in which I post about wanting to start watching it when it was first released, but, things happened. It popped up on my Peacock recommended list last week and I have been consumed by it. It's a helluva good show through episode 10 of season 2. It's brilliantly written, and for what I assume is not a huge budget the special effects are good, and they did well in the casting.

"THIS IS SOME BULLSHIT!!!"

I tried getting into it, but couldn’t get past the horrible acting.

Some of the supporting actors are very bad, especially the dad/cook. It seems even worse though because Alan Tudyk is so brilliant - his good acting makes their mediocre acting look even worse.

Still a fun watch though IMO

When I saw the thread title I thought it was going to be about Rico.

Yes, new season is on Peacock and Netflix. Think there is one more season to go.

Yeah it's solid B-B+ scifi comedy. I enjoyed it, I think on your recommendation actually IIRC.

Oh I didn't realize there's more either

This last season has been a bit of a disappointment, still pretty good, but not nearly as hilarious as the first couple

I like Gary Farmer, he has a wry, quixotic sense of humor to him. He goes a little deep too often on the mystic Native stuff, though. Not sure if that is the writers all the time, or his input.

To me, one of the best things about the show are the supporting characters making it interesting and not just a Harry alien show all the time. Darci, the sheriff, and the kinda sleazy barfly are all great, just for starters.

Resident alien is some oxymoron bullshit if i ever saw it

I was really hoping this would be a thread about one of the greatest albums of the 90s

I really like the town mayor and his hot wife...

I liked the 1st season. 2nd season was ok. I grew weary of the B stories.

Not that it really matters, but Sara Tomko's (Asta) backside grew enormous.

I would argue great song. Mediocre album, at best, but in the meantime, I do enjoy the new series.

First 8 episodes of season 3 are out...unfortunately the second 8 episodes won't be out for a couple months

Reservation Dogs does a better job with the mystic Native stuff. A lot of the same actors appear in both series.

I don't know, Space is the Place, Cruel to be Kind, and Shipwrecked rocked

D'Arcy and the barfly Judy would be a wicked threesome. They've got a love / hate competition thing going on, which would spice it up.
