My goodness but doesn't anyone want to watch something just for fun anymore?? C'mon y'all, this is called humor and we need it these days.

First I want to thank the sound crew for the delicious soundtrack! I'm in my mid 50s and most of the songs (I've watched the first 4 episodes so far) have me and my husband nearly dancing while viewing!! Of course it's silly to hear Depeche Mode playing in the background during a scene from the 1300s, but that's the point! Some of these other reviewers seem to have missed the point.

This series is very refreshing, goofy, fun and hilarious but also well scripted, performed and beautiful cinematography as well. I am trying not to binge this one out too quickly, yet I can't wait for more!!!

I have the start of S4:E3 queued on my TV, for the last 15 minutes actually, while I decide whether to continue with this series which has become a trainwreck. I did enjoy the first two seasons and most of the third, though the situation wasn't looking good. I thought maybe with the graduations and the new students, perhaps good things would follow in S4. Two episodes has shown this isn't going to be the case. They created characters even MORE shallow than the last! The new Principal, Benjamin AKA Father of the Year, is either a psyco or sociopath and his kids are a mix of both-I will take a dozen Lucrecias over that family! No offense intended here but are there really that many gay teenage boys in Spain? Including those willing to engage in three ways? The sex was bearable in the beginning but, toward the end of S3 and definitely the start of S4, it became too graphic and the scenes were too long. This just shows the writer's lack of imagination for content. Anyone can write a raunchy sex story about horny teenagers...we've all been there. Elite could have been Epic.

I'm sure that I am not the only person who tuned into Resident Alien with um, let's say, less than stellar expectations ('scuse the pun). My husband is a sci-fi "nerd" and I'd qualify myself as maybe mixed, like Spock 🖖 Well, we both adore Alan Tudyk since A Knight's Tale then Dodgeball, so what the heck! Resident Alien was, over all, a fun series and we very much enjoyed the ride. There were times the story did go a bit dark, sometimes melancholy, but watching Harry become more human was interesting. Asta's character was frustrating in her whininess and she was selfish as well. Maybe it was her age, I don't know. The show put together a great cast and the kids were fantastic! Alan Tudyk will probably have that boyish charm at 80!
