"RESIDENT ALIEN" IS THE PERFECT DARK COMEDY PRESCRIPTION

Series Review - RESIDENT ALIEN [2021-24] - SyFy - [PG 13] - Created by Chris Sheridan. Based on the comic book of the same title by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse. Stars Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, Alice Wetterlund, Linda Hamilton, Levi Fiehler, Judah Prehn, and Elizabeth Bowen. Currently three completed seasons.

Harry Vanderspeigle [Tudyk] is a doctor visiting a small town doctor, holding a deep dark secret from everyone there. After taking over as the towns lead doctor, he is on a mission to hide himself within the human population while he searches for an alien ship that brought him to earth. This doctor is actually an alien that was on a mission to destroy all life on earth with a deadly weapon. While trying to hide himself on earth, he gains the friendship of several local townspeople who are unaware of his true intentions. But his presence is also known by a dark organization inside the military that want to find his ship and also capture him to "study him."

THE GOOD - The actors performances keep this awesome series rolling in the right direction each season. Tudyk is at home playing the lead in this series, often pushing his performance level to new heights and he certainly look at home in the series. The supporting cast are a league of new talent who also have their own moments of splendor throughout each new episode. Special kudos go out to the performances of Wetterlund and Elizabeth Bowen who bring a special magic to their roles and increasing the humorous level of zaniness this series delivers with epic proportions. The CGI and visual effects are top notch and the practical effects make the series seem more believable at every turn.

THE BAD - Even though she's credited for being in the series, there isn't enough Linda Hamilton to see in the series.

POST MORTEM - For a dark comedy SciFi series, this show is top notch! I find it hard to believe that I only found out about this series this year after it's been running for three years. It's fun entertainment and I've belted out many laughs in each new episode. Don't take this series to serious though, there are some parts of the show that are just to silly to accept as reality based. The entire Resident Alien series can be binge watched in about three days.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫 [4.5 of 5 Stars]
