Resident Alien

I mentioned this last Friday and I don't think anyone in the party has been watching it so for those that aren't - you should be and those that are - you're awesome.

 

It follows an alien (Alan Tudyk - Firefly, A Knights Tale, Dodgeball, Conman) who has crash landed in Colorado where he takes over the identity of a small town doctor and helps to investigate a murder while trying to complete his mission.

Created by Chris Sheridan. With Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, Alice Wetterlund. It follows a crash-landed alien named...

 

Tudyk fits the role perfectly as the alien who has studied humans (mostly through Law and Order) but doesn't really understand.  The writing is brilliant; a mix of drama and dry comedy though the comedy is often deadpan and a out of the blue as Tudyk.  There isn't many "comedies" that I find actual laugh out loud funny but this is one.

I think it's on SyFy or whatever they call it now. Looks like the chap who was in the new Star Trek series, he should play Joker in Mass Effect but he's in a lot of stuff. 

 

Will check it out👍

I love Alan Tudyk in Firefly. Looks pretty good although I'd be watching it on my own as Hayley hates alien stuff cos she thinks its not real...well, duh 😄

Great news, it has been renewed for a second season 😄

 

There's been a few unexpected things happen in recent eps but it continues to be funny.  Also Giorgio Tsoukalis gets a cameo so that's always a win (the 'I'm not saying it's aliens but aliens' meme guy).
