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.

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.

Reporter Ozzie Graham (played effortlessly by Wyatt Cenac) travels to the rural town of Beacon, New York to write an article on a support group for victims of ...alien abduction. They do look like a bunch of weirdos but maybe there is some validity in their claims ...and then some!

The premise is original and funny as it is delivered. The cast good. The pace and the editing work in favor of entertainment, and there IS some mystery as it progresses and a few twists.

Overall: The aliens tell to the people they abduct that they are ...special (although they don't actually mean it!). People of Earth seems ...special (and I mean it!), with an original premise, good cast and good and relaxed humor. Recommended.

This was a good show. I think anybody would have enjoyed it and it should be renewed.
