Resident Alien [Comedy, Drama, Mystery] (Page 3 of 5)

Best shown currently on television ;)

From the first episode I knew I was going to like it, its witty and there are jokes under jokes sometimes which I don't think many people would understand if they haven't watched a choice selection of documentaries, conspiracy theories and have a basic understanding of science.

Very clever show, amazing characters which actually reflect people I know, I sometimes find myself predicting what the smart arse character is about to say next lol.

Love it! Hands down. Only thing which sucks about this show is that each episode ends with a cliff hanger and is only released once a week =P Otherwise its perfect.

What I liked about that episode was that during the "who's who" presentation, Harry never denied the existence of any of them.

What an awesome finale to an awesome show.

I'd watch another 10 episodes of this today.

Season 2 is one week and two days away.  Catch up now.

cant wait!

Dear Resident Alien,

"I missed you like sun misses the flower in the depths of winter."

Wow, went hard woke on todays ep. Another somewhat decent show down the drain. Shame.

IDK, I'm just done with getting lectures masquerading as entertainment from social justice warriors with double digit IQs. I'll just watch different shows which don't have poorly hidden agendas. At some point I'm bound to find one which doesn't just reel you in and transition.

Slight rant ahead.

Very few shows start off woke because they know it doesn't sell. They always start off with a decent premise and a normal cast. First few episodes are normal as they try to get you invested into the characters. Then after the first two episodes they slowly reveal that half the characters are some kind of letter soup (in the real world it's something like 0.1% with large mental illness comorbidity). The sidestories start circling around social issues, and the characters are all woke ideologues. The entire dynamic of the show is changed once that is revealed. It's not just a one-off, it's part of the character development.

At this point I've seen this enough times to understand it as a propaganda technique, introducing indifensible ideas by using false, constructed social proof. Most people don't actually reason about these things for themselves - they go by what the authorities say and what their friends think - AKA social proof. So it's a very effective method of persuasion when the ideas can't actually win on merit.

203 was a big letdown, how could they let something so bad go through?

Somehow, the second season sucks. Can't really put my finger on it.... but so far I do not like it and if the (given, awesome!) first season had been like the second, I probably would have dropped the show after episode 3.

The last few were a little lacklustre for sure.
There is still another 6 episodes to go so hopefully it will pickup.
