I think the genre has exhausted everything of value from that particular mine.

than it is a sci-fi show.

It's more Frankenstein than it is anything as he finds out what it is to be human. And it's a mystery.

It's funny. Though clearly right in my wheelhouse of humor.

Been Alan Tudyk fans for some time, and the supporting cast is a good collection of eccentric characters. The tone reminds me a bit of Northern Exposure—with an alien, of course.

It is a bit of a trope in the "fish-out-of-water" style of comedy. But Alan Tudyk is so much fun in it. He is delightfully weird on a good day so he really chews up the scenery on this.

Cute.

About an Alien from another planet who crashes to Earth in a fictional Colorado town resembling Estes Park, assumes a human form, and all the cute distractions that get in the way of his mission.

It's worth it. Alan Tudyk(A Knight's Tale) is a joy to watch. The show is quite funny too.

It's hysterical! Alan Tudyk is a national treasure. It's kind of like "Northern Exposure" only the doctor is an alien instead of a New Yorker.

My aunt had been telling me about it a couple years back but we cut the cable for streaming years ago.

It’s pretty damn funny. Not necessarily laugh out loud funny but funny. Pretty entertaining.
