People of Earth

Man this was an absolute gem discovery! I love it. It's about a very special support group of alien abductees. Compare this with "The Middle" (which I stopped watching this season because it's NOT funny anymore) and you'll get it. This series is genuinely funny and yet it has some profound meanings hidden behind the humor. The cast is awesome, we get to see Wyatt Cenac at his best but the other actors, such as Ana Gasteyer, are really tailored for their characters and very funny. I wish comedy would go this way rather than the boring and totally not funny other specimens. What can I say more? Well, give it a try! The episodes only last 20 minutes and I'm sure many of you will love it.

This goofy show about a support group for alien abductees isn't the funniest of this year's sitcom crop (that would be The Good Place, or perhaps Speechless, IMO), but I like it better than some shows I consider funnier. It's quite funny, and the characters are very human and likable (even the aliens are very human - go figure).

Wyatt Cenac is perfect as a journalist who can't quite believe in his own abduction. His part is that of the normal guy surrounded by weirdos, but the nice thing is, he manages to be the sane one without also being the boring one.

Overall this show is just very likable, with well drawn characters and a mysterious story arc. I highly recommend taking a look.

I will confess to being a life-long sci-fi fan so when I saw the ads for the premier of this show, I was intrigued. It hasn't disappointed and is one of the most original new comedies of the year. Maybe the most original given retread sitcoms like the stuff CBS has rolled out with Kevin James and Matt LeBlanc.

The premise is very different than anything else on television right now. It holds up thanks to a very good cast, mostly little known actors, and very good writing. It also turns upside down the longstanding portrayals of aliens as all-knowing, advanced beings whose ways are mysterious to Earthlings. Instead, the aliens are petty, incompetent in a lot of technical applications, and have fits of temper. That element of the show is one of the funniest to me and is very well done. The Earthlings are a diverse group with a lot of excellent interactions within the support group of "experiencers."

Even people who aren't sci-fi fans should give this a try. If you haven't watched it from the start, you need to go back to the pilot and catch up.

Here's hoping it has a long run.

This show was hilarious, warm, inventive, surprising, well-written with great actors, loveable characters, and an original storyline. It's one of my favorite shows ever and I was crushed that it was cancelled. It should've been given more of chance to catch on. I'm sure more people would've grown to love it. Sorry, Wyatt. You didn't deserve this cancellation -- it was a gem.

Just finished my second run through. This show would have been much more successful if it'd had reached UK viewers. Absolutely hilarious, totally out of the box comedy. Fresh and original. I'm gutted there won't ever be a season 3.
