RESIDENT ALIEN recently dropped its third season. After watching each one from the beginning, the first sci-fi season stood out and was most intriguing. I loved the plot premise when the writers kept it tight and used fewer characters. I felt it lost its way by the end, and Harry (Alan Tudyk) just became more clownish and confusing.
I don’t know why the writers felt compelled to include stories about twenty more townspeople, complete with huge problems of their own. Some were connected to the storyline, while others just wandered, lost in the soapbox haven. I would have loved it more if Linda Hamilton and George Takei were involved. Asta and D’Arcy annoyed me, while the Sheriff kept me rolling in gales of laughter. This actor is hilarious and has impeccable comedic timing. The strongest actress was the Mayor’s wife. She is a stellar actress with fantastic talent and skill. She brought me to tears several times while watching her journey. The show is a mixed bag… some great moments and some no one should talk about.
In technical-specific reviewing, the stylish words for ‘Resident Alien’ were okay. If I had to give each season an emoji, it would look like 🤩😊😊. This is a shame, since it had so much more potential. The writers set up the ending with several cliffhangers. Let’s hope that if it returns, the RESIDENT ALIEN will offer a new opportunity to begin again.
