Anyone else watching this?

We watched it ‘by accident’ a few weeks ago and I just think it’s brilliant. Soooo funny. Completely stupid. But I love it.

Also love this. It’s so funny.

MonicaGellerBing · 27/02/2021 18:17

We love it here too! So funny in places, the actor who is the main character is brilliant as is the kid who can 'see' him. Love it!

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/02/2021 20:41

Love it

LittleG69 · 27/02/2021 21:47

It’s brilliant. Don’t know anyone in real life who watches it though

I know! I don’t either!

I’m glad I can’t binge watch it either....I did that with Cobra Kai and really regretted it later.

Oh, I had in mind The Alienist and was wondering why posters thought it was funny?! I've just looked it up and will give it a go. The Alienist btw is beautifully shot but the acting is dreadful.

magicstar1 · 27/02/2021 22:37

I find it funny but with a dark undercurrent....really enjoying it

Cheesecake53 · 27/02/2021 22:40

I really enjoy it, too, and look forward to the weekly episodes. I like the different how-to-be-human booklets at the beginning of each episode.

I see it as a cross between 3rd rock from the sun, "V" and Quincy, hugely enjoyable, and the funniest tv show I've seen for some time.

LostForWords2021 · 27/02/2021 23:56

Yes! Really enjoying it, great acting and very funny.

I wonder where it is going though, his plan is to end the human race v the young boy knowing his secret...

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/02/2021 04:14

He will want to stay being a human at the end

LittleG69 · 28/02/2021 09:32

I want there to be a second season (even though we’re only half way through). I think it’s moved to a streaming platform in the States though which doesn’t sound promising

I didn’t see it advertised or anything. I just came across it by chance. I think they missed a trick.

This is teh first show I've watched for ages where I was actually laughing out loud. Weird it wasn't advertised a bit more.

Blondeshavemorefun · 28/02/2021 20:39

He was funny after sex

youngestisapsycho · 01/03/2021 11:25

Where can this be watched?

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/03/2021 12:15

On sky one demand

youngestisapsycho · 01/03/2021 14:01

Thank you 😊

susiella · 02/03/2021 16:24

It's on Now TV as well

TheVolturi · 06/03/2021 15:30

Omg I've found my people!! Been watching it since the start and absolutely love it!
Harry is adorable, so funny.
Can anyone tell me what D'Arcy was doing in the helicopter?

Doingtheboxerbeat · 07/03/2021 15:22

Love, love, love this show soooo much. Every character is loveable and hilarious, but my favourite is the kid - obviously , Harry, D'arcy and the sheriff.

HildegardNightingale · 08/03/2021 15:09

Do you think an alien child might happen?

LemmysAceCard · 08/03/2021 16:13

I love this show, found it by accident, I wonder why the boy can see Harry as an alien but no one else can.

TheVolturi · 08/03/2021 19:43

Lemmys, he said apparently only one in so many million people (or something) can see through the molecular structure and see him as an alien. So basically he struck really unlucky finding that boy 🤣

AndreaMarteau · 09/03/2021 00:21

Ooh, glad I've found this thread! I love this show. Wasn't sold on the first couple of episodes, then found myself laughing out loud at the next ones. Alan Tudyk is just brilliant.
