I added it to my watch list because Robert Duncan McNeill is an executive producer, and finally started on it yesterday. Definitely enjoying it so far.
I’m only partway through the first season, but it’s basically “What if ET was kind of a jerk?” (or possibly “What if Dr. House was an alien?”) If you’ve seen it, no spoilers please, but curious if anyone else has watched it and their thoughts on it.
I’ve watched it a few times, it’s pretty funny
I watched the first few episodes and thought it was enjoyable, although anecdotally, I’ve heard it’s distinct from its comic forebear (which takes a darker, drier tone). Thus, I think I will probably read the comics after I have completed the series just so I esteem the two as separate entities.
I gets even better every season.
I tried it, it’s not for me. It felt very stupid and contrived. It’s cool that you’re enjoying it though.
It’s a science fiction situational comedy. How could it possibly avoid being contrived? All sitcoms are contrived. All scifi is contrived.
There’s a difference between being contrived, and seeming contrived. The latter is usually an indication of poor writing or directing.
I really enjoyed the first season.
