I laughed pretty hard at

But watching more the show seems to have a dim view of humans in general at first, and will slowly show their worth as more time is spent with them.
Almost like it might have a theme and ideas.
So I'll stick with it. It was amusing even with how frequently dark it goes, and it's nice to see Alan Tudyk again.

Ten chickens in a trench coat who went to Julliard, you mean.
Can't wait for SyFy to just cancel it as it gains an audience.
As a comic reader, some of the differences are a little jarring, but I’m am fine with making its own stamp on it. I think the physical humor works great for TV, where it wouldn’t come across as well in a book. I also like his murderous bent.
Hard fucking pass. I guess I'll get to enjoy the one season of this in a year or something, after they cancel it and nobody watched it because of the fucking moronic Hulu Live plan.
Spoilers since I don't see an open spoilers tag
That poor hiker though. What a way to die.

Law and Order ≠ Justice
Apparently in the comic Harry is more neutral. I wanna go look it up
I also like the people that Harry deals with, for the most part. The police chief is an asshole, but he's supposed to be an asshole and you aren't supposed to like him. The mayor is bit of a weenie, but he really does seem to be trying to take care of his family and the town.
And of course Tudyk kills it as the alien-playing-human. Amazing work on the physical comedy side, from big overexaggerated physical moments to some extremely subtle and small facial expressions. But surprisingly, they've actually put in a fair bit of effort to show him in his alien form on a regular basis and make that form express nicely as well. They have a whole different actor for that, and generally do great with the effects to get him to emote properly. A little weird to think of the main character having two actors, but it meshes really well.
Basically, the show is a lot better than belongs on Syfy, I'm sort of bewildered they bothered to make something of any actual quality here.
I honestly cannot remember the characters name right now so I'm just going to call him Adam Tudyk.
I'm betting it goes that Tudyk tries to advocate for Earth and Humanity's continued existence because emotions (and whiskey), while the other two just want to finish their mission and get home.
I think your right.
Well in the comic
The show has managed to throw me a few surprises already so I'm hoping I'm wrong.
Having him mummified in midair like that was rather surprising.
Every character is well cast and I personally appreciate a character just being Muslim without having to like, make it a only point.
With all that said, I'm more convinced than ever that the show is just a little too expensive and it'll be cancelled.
Ill be honest
Also really hope the sheriff gets a comeuppance soon because fuck him.
I am slightly bummed that I feel like there can't be any stakes to Harry's antagonism with the kid. Nothing would crack me up more than a continued cartoonish, slapstick back and forth played straight until the season finale where one of Harry's murderous schemes just... works. That would be a hell of a swerve. Not many people have the macabre sense of humor that would be necessary to enjoy that, though.
I laughed pretty hard when Harry was asked to describe life in New York and he pulled out the Law and Order tagline then followed it up with "It has... women... who have sex in the city."
Also? Cannot remember the name at all
If there is a season 2 I foresee him and the kid working together. There will be some kind of revelation or common goal, and the kid will have to give Harry the finer points of being human that he can't glean from TV, the internet or random social interaction.

Seems like the two agents looking for Harry really are just MIB's of some sort, not his own species.
End of episode four cliffhanger: Two kids in duffle bags, and, just at that precise moment, his skin-suit's wife decides to show up... Awwwwkward...
I laughed good and hard at the sound of those duffel bags hitting the floor.
Also I cracked the fuck up at him going for the bite of steak with Isabelle wrapped around him.
