Sci-fi dramedy Resident Alien is the perfect escape from the real world

An alien crashes on Earth and hides in a remote Colorado mountain town. After assuming the identity of the town doctor, his nefarious mission is threatened when he realises one of the townspeople, a nine-year-old boy, can see his true alien form.is"the sci-fi, murder mystery, doctor dramedy" I never knew I needed.is the perfect blend of dark humour and sincerity, based on the comic book of the same name by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse.

The first few episodes tell a continuous story about Harry's attempts to merge with human society. While he tries his best to keep a low profile, his alien status is not a secret to everyone and his hopes of keeping a low profile dwindle with every new episode. As the show progresses, Harry's anxieties about whether or not he truly wants to stay a part of this human world increase.

I just have to say; this show would not even be worth watching if it was not for Tudyk. He was so appropriately cast. I really couldn't imagine anyone better for the job. He just nails the peculiarity of an alien who has to learn to deal with human behaviour and the emotions and connections that come with it.

. With everything going on in the world, would it be wrong to assume that audiences are looking for shows that aren't challenging them with realism in every episode? Perhaps. Butis the perfect way to take a break from the real world. With its appeal stemming from a balanced blend of humour, heart-warming sincerity, consistency of tone and, possibly the best of all, a hint of darkness, it is so easy and comfortable to watch.

The one critique I will give is the shows tendency to make you feel a little overstuffed. The show's premise is Alien Harry's goal of pretending to be human long enough to find his spaceship and kill everyone on earth. At the same time, the Mayor's son, Max – who seems to be the only human who can see past Harry's disguise – tries to convince everyone of the truth.

Maybe it is time for that experiment to happen here. Vuwani must not think it is the only village in South Africa. There are thousands of villages who are in the same situation. It is their right to ask why but it is not entitlement.
