Colorado-Based Comedy-Drama Series ‘Resident Alien’ Returns

Few television shows can give you the range of emotions you'll feel after watching the first season of Resident Alien. This even more rare when realize it's science fiction and based on comic book.

The show is lead by one of my favorite actors, Alan Tudyk, but the majority of the supporting cast are relatively unknown. That doesn't stop the show from being a homerun.

The series takes place in the fiction town of Patience, Colorado. There we follow an alien (Tudyk) masquerading in human form. That's pretty much all you need to know to get you onboard. The show is thought provoking, hilarious, and manages to retain this odd, family-friendly feeling. You really feel for and understand the characters, which in truns make you fall in love with them quite quickly.
