    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Resident Alien' is lauded for its clever humor, Alan Tudyk's standout performance, and unique premise in the first season. The dark comedy and engaging storylines are appreciated. However, the second season faces criticism for being less funny, more preachy, and overly focused on side characters and political themes. Disappointment is expressed over the shift in tone and direction. Despite mixed opinions on later seasons, Tudyk's performance and the show's potential remain highlights.

    Just stick with the first season

    The first season of this show was a complete win and I LOVED IT. Just consider me to be in agreement with all of the good reviews.

    Save yourself the trouble of being disappointed in the second season. The magic just went right out of it.

    Fun, fun, fun...

    Against all the odds, this is so good! And so funny! The acting, the setting, the script. It's all good. Did I mention its fun! There nothing else to say. Watch it. Oh yeah!

    Surprisingly Really Great

    I didn't expect much going into this because you know how SyFy shows can be sometimes, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much fun this was! It had so many funny lines, shocking twists, interesting plot lines revealed and everything even in just the first episode! Plus the effects are nothing to sneeze at. What I've seen so far has shown the perfect balance of dark comedy, drama, and a wonderfully oddball sci-fi, all packaged into a small town setting, which is something I've always liked. So, great acting, great scripting, great filming, I was hooked from the first few seconds and would recommend. And I just really like Alan Tudyk and truly think this show has a lot of promise.

    Such a fun show

    Resident Alien was so much better than I originally thought it would be! It's about an Alien (Alan Tudyk) who crashes in a small Colorado town and assumes the identity of the town doctor. His mission is to kill all humans but the longer he stays and gets to know them the more he changes his mind. Alan Tudyk is perfect for this role and leads a mostly unknown cast who all make a name for themselves here as they all do such a great job. I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed it. It's a laugh out loud comedy that also has heart felt moments and before you know it you'll become addicted to this show. After seeing how good the rating was and reading through all the great reviews I thought I'd give it a chance...and I'm so glad I did. It's both original and hilarious. Can't wait for more!

    Can't wait for more!

    I'm so glad that Resident Alien has gained such an audience. The word of mouth for this show has been great and the reason why we keep getting more great show seasons. Season 2 kind of strayed away from the comedy that made Season 1 so good, it was still funny but they changed the show a little too much. Season 3 returned to the hilarious show it was in the first season. Netflix recently picked this show up and it immediately became a worldwide hit. It was in the Top10 as soon as it came out and stayed there for a few months. Hopefully with its new found audience this show will continue for several more seasons. Alan Tudyk is such an underrated actor. He's funny in just about everything he does and this role is probably his best yet. There are plenty of other great characters but my next favorite is easily Sheriff Thompson, played by Corey Reynolds. He is absolutely hilarious in every scene he's in. You won't regret watching this hilarious show.
