Resident Alien, a SyFy show
An alien crashes his ship in Colorado during his mission to wipe us all out with a "device". Knowing he'll have to spend some time finding his ship's parts his kills a vacationing doctor and assumes his appearance. Due to some coincidental circumstances he becomes the town doctor of Patience, CO. Will he put his ship back together and destroy humanity or will the people of Patience win him over? I bet you can't guess!

Most importantly this show is Alan Tudyk acting his rear end off.

Season 1 premiered January 27, 2021
Season 2 just premiered on January 26, 2022 and here is its trailer:

Cast

Alan Tudyk as Dr. Harry Vanderspiegel - Also the alien with an unpronounceable name


Sara Tomko as Asta Twelvetrees - Assistant nurse to the town doctor


Corey Reynolds as Mike Thompson - Town sheriff, not so capable


Alice Wetterlund as D'arcy Bloom - Runs the town bar, Asta's best friend


Levi Fiehler as Ben Hawthorne - Town mayor


Judah Prehn as Max Hawthorne - Mayor's son and the only person that can see through Henry's disguise


Elizabeth Bowen as Liv Baker - Sherrif's deputy, actually capable

Where can I watch this poo poo?
SYFY on Wednesdays while new episodes are airing if that's your jam
Peacock is probably best place to stream it
Fubo is up to date according to just watch
or buy it at the usual places.

This took 3 times longer to post that it should have because my cat saw that I was typing and of course that's a crime.

Could be due to that head trauma? But yeah the poo poo he pulled with the bunker was kinda dumb.

Also if Tudyk is doing a crossed eye to pull off that lazy eye look all the time while he's acting I applaud it. I can't do anything else when I cross my eyes.

Regardless of actors improvising more, the second season seems all over the place so far.

All the Ben sub-plots don't seem necessary. BDSM thing, D'arcy kiss, video competition with that other town.

I am very sick with Ben’s poo poo, though. Maybe it’s because I’m currently learning how to be better at dealing with people, but it just annoys me.

And Asta’s dad was in Vietnam? Dude should be much better older.

The only music they play at the party in this episode is Scrubs end-of-episode music.

This is turning into such a soap opera.

How many episodes is this season supposed to be? I just re-read the thread and saw that the next season is gonna be 12 episodes. Is this gonna be an 8 and 4 split season because that's real weird. Especially because the plot is kinda treading water right now.

Maybe it's rose-tinted memory, but Tudyk acted less like a moron in the first season, which changes the tone quite a bit.

Someone upthread mentioned that they're allowing him more improv this season which is probably responsible for that. I just noticed that his delivery of everything is kind of the same in the last couple episodes.

I assume regular life of hunting aliens but I can't really remember how that part went which means I need to rewatch season 2

Same. I can't recall a lot of season 2's weirder details

Any time I mention Peacock to someone I can tell it takes them a bit to process the name and remember that it's a streaming service.

Didn’t they already say this is the last season?
