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.

I love his neutral expressions

And voice overs

@TheVolturi

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 🤣
That would explain it! The young lad who plays Max is a brilliant actor, the shock on his face when Harry does something like give him the finger or they way he gets the better of Harry "There are no mountains here so you are a stupid alien" type thing.

Of course Harry is the best, his facial expressions and his laughing is so funny.

I really like this as well - like you, discovered by accident. It's a bit Mork and Mindy sometimes when Harry learns things about humans (showing my age) but the slight darkness undercuts any sugary stuff. The two kids in it are good and the lesser characters like Big Black are very funny as well.

Her hot hammy breath 🤣🤣

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/03/2021 12:38

I hope a series 2 will happen

TeapotCollection · 14/03/2021 12:42

We’re loving this too, it’s absolutely hilarious and the first thing I’ve literally laughed out loud at for a long time

I so wish I knew someone like Harry

LemmysAceCard · 18/03/2021 22:04

Good news, it has been picked up for a second series

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/03/2021 21:46

Now that his secret is now known by Astra

What will happen

The alien in stomach with hands teeth was fab

Yay, happy to hear that! I hate getting invested in a show only to find out it's being cancelled/already been cancelled.

It's such a great ensemble piece. All the characters are fab.

TheVolturi · 27/03/2021 12:33

The bus scene was freaky, imagine that actually happening 😱

Mydogisagentleman · 28/03/2021 15:04

Not for me, I tried ne episode and was a bit meh about it.
Watched another and decided that, as I work full time there’s not enough time

ConstanceGracy · 28/03/2021 15:29

Love it.
Alan Tudyk is fantastic .

josbd · 28/03/2021 18:10

I think this works so well because it has an exceptional cast. They are also fleshing out the characters as it progresses. The lead is Alan Tudyk who I first saw in Joss Whedon's Firefly/Serenity; (If you have not watched those: Do yourself a favour!

An entertaining, bloody silly series!

snowstorm2012 · 28/03/2021 21:09

One of the best things I've watched for ages, apart from my mum I don't know anyone else who watches it! Really love it, we save it for a Saturday night to watch with a glass of wine 👍🏼

EmbarrassingAdmissions · 29/03/2021 22:35

It's an excellent cast and a good script.

Alan Tudyk is convincing in a wide range of roles. He played a contract killer/consigliere in Justified and was ruthlessly convincing.

KellyMarieTunstall2 · 30/03/2021 19:32

We've started watching this and it's very funny and quirky. I really like it. Lots of great characters but Harry is brilliant.

TheVolturi · 01/04/2021 22:31

Noooooooooo is that the end??

LemmysAceCard · 02/04/2021 14:43

So the real Harry killed the town doctor! But why? Did he want to be the town doctor and his plan was thwarted by an alien killing him? I need to know!

Ah shite .. spoiler alert . I haven’t seen the last couple yet Sad
Robin233 · 02/04/2021 16:13

Season 2 has been commissioned/ approved.

Good! I enjoyed Episode 10 and hoped that there would be more.

The friendship of Max and Sahar is a delight.

QuidcoQueen · 02/04/2021 22:50

I loved this, looked forward to Thursdays to watch it.
Glad there is going to be a series 2.

This plot twist really annoyed me - some of the funniest scenes involved him investigating the murder and this twist just doesn't fit with the early episodes at all.
Blondeshavemorefun · 03/04/2021 21:19

@ConstanceGracy fair game. It’s been shown on tv

But yes I was very surprised by that
