The plot of Resident Alien immediately grabbed my attention. Without any second thoughts, I started watching it. The early episodes give off a Stranger Things vibe, featuring an ensemble of characters from kids to cops, each with their own compelling storylines.
The highlight of the series is the protagonist, whose outstanding performance stands out. Asta, too, shines brightly. All the other actors, including the mayor who doesn't look like one at all, deliver poor performances, leading to some terrible casting choices.
The show begins with a promising mix of fast-paced humor, personal conflicts, and crime, making the initial episodes engaging and entertaining. As the season progresses, though, the storyline becomes somewhat predictable, although it retains its comedic charm.
It does get a little foolish as all the major characters in the series come from the same batch of the same school. Literally too much fiction. Furthermore, it gets way too much when there's a foolish episode of encounters with aliens. Special mention to the so-called MIB Team, who come across as absurdly wayward, resembling a group of disorganized college nerds. Resident Alien still manages to offer enough humor and interesting moments to keep viewers entertained. However, the season's climax doesn't quite live up to the excitement of its beginning, ending on a slightly disappointing note.
It begins strong, however, struggles to maintain its initial promise. The show's blend of humor and supernatural elements initially works well but eventually feels overstretched. Fans of sci-fi and comedy might find it worth watching for its moments of brilliance, but others may find the series loses its charm as it unfolds.
