Binge on some aliens

SCI-FI: 'RESIDENT ALIEN' IS THE COMEDY YOU DIDN'T KNOW YOU NEEDED

- Hein Kaiser

Sometimes looking for something to watch can feel like doom-scrolling, because there's so much available but so little that piques any kind of interest. When you've watched what's good, what's left?

Quite a bit, it seems. Because even when choosing a show just because you're settling for something, can turn out to be the best TV decision you've made.

Resident Alien on Showmax is a happenstance decision just like that. It wasn't just a good find; it was a spectacular discovery.

And while the title of the show conjures up a few mental images, they were all wrong. In my case, anyway. Because the four seasons of this epic, hilarious and adventurous romp of a show are worth every minute of your time.

The series, which debuted in 2021 and completed its fourth and final season this year, is based on a comic book series with the same name.
