I LOVE this show!!
When I watched the first episode I thought it had promise, but I wasn't quite sure how I felt about it yet. The second episode began to draw me in. By the third episode I was totally hooked, and very anxious for the next. The 4th is the best yet, as the characters, both alien and human, become more and more interesting and intriguing with every episode.
**Spoiler Alert**
It's also nice that they show some back story clips to flesh out the characters, such as Ana Gasteyer's role as the shrink who mediates the group when she's not lying on a probe table telling the patronizing ET that he's full of ...
My favorite, Wyatt Cenac, as Ozzie, plays the straight man, a reporter who came to town as a skeptic writing an exposé piece on an alien support group, that, much to his dismay, triggered him to start remembering his own alien experiences. I love his character, such an intelligent, stable, likable guy, who is just miserable over the fact that he can't discount the presence of aliens anymore... or get the talking deer to leave him alone!
Wyatt's boss is a handsome young alien that you can't help but hate to love because, hey, he's only doing his job... a job which sometimes results in being "sent out for a donut" (i.e, getting reamed by the big boss, whose slit green eyes I find mesmerizing). Then there's the boss's coworker, a snarky little alien with a big head, who is in a snit because his reptilian partner met with an untimely demise when he was dispatched to earth and materialized, unfortunately, in traffic.
This show is deliciously refreshing, legitimately funny (not canned-laughter-funny, but really funny), and has some surprising depth for an off-the-beaten-path half hour sitcom. I just wish I didn't have to wait another week for the next episode! I hope this cleverly written, superbly acted show is around for a long time; of all the new shows I'm watching this season, this one is at the top of my "don't miss" list!
p.s. I might have given it a 9 instead of a 10 (because few shows ever merit a 10), but I'd like to compensate for the person who gave it a "4" because the show doesn't accurately depict real Reptilians. (Hey buddy, it's a COMEDY, not an interstellar documentary!)
