On the hunt for a new TV show to binge watch? Sometimes it can be difficult finding a fresh series which will leave you “hooked” after watching the first episode.
Recently, people went wild for a gripping series which is similar to Breaking Bad and Dexter. Now if you want something comical and we’re talking laugh out loud funny, then viewers are singing the praises of one show which is available on Netflix. It comes as one TV fan revealed they were on the search for something that “hooks you early” and stays good all the way through.
Posting on Reddit, the person visited the r/tvsuggestions forum for inspiration as many recommended Resident Alien.
They asked: “It feels like everything is overhyped lately and I keep getting disappointed after something people swear is amazing.
“Don’t get me wrong, I don’t mind popular shows, I just want something that actually lives up to it and doesn’t fall off after a few episodes.
“Ideally something that hooks you early and stays consistently good all the way through. Open to any genre at this point, I just want a show that delivers.”
In the comments section, people recommended Resident Alien which is “one of the funniest shows ever made”.
Someone commented: “For real! I absolutely adore it. Such a good storyline. Hard to watch it and eat or drink though. The sudden hilarious moments make me spit laugh.”
What is Resident Alien about?
The American science fiction comedy-drama TV series, which was created by Chris Sheridan, is about an extraterrestrial sent to wipe out humanity who kills a vacationing physician and takes on his identity.
After a crash landing on Earth in a small town in Colorado, the extraterrestrial, named Harry, is asked to do an autopsy on the town’s doctor, who died in unknown circumstances, and eventually takes over for the doctor at the town’s clinic.
With the moral dilemma of his secret mission, he also deals with the mayor’s young son who can see his true alien appearance. He also develops compassion for humanity and ends up defending them from other extraterrestrial threats.
The series ran for four seasons from January 2021 to August 2025 on Syfy, but now it’s available to watch on Netflix.
Rated a 15, the comedy has an 8 out of 10 rating on IMDB. Reviewers say ‘Resident Alien’ is lauded for its clever humour and engaging storylines.
