There are aliens among us, and in the case of Resident Alien Season 1 Episode 1, “Pilot,” it may be the town doctor.
This Alan Tudyk series has been in the works for over two years. Tudyk’s casting was announced in early 2019.
Resident Alien stars Tudyk as Harry, an alien who crash lands in Colorado and stars off trying to lead a low-key simple life. Things so awry when he has to help the local authorities solve a murder; and thus needs to assimilate into the small town.
What no one knows though, is that this alien has a secret mission, and will begin asking himself question like: “Are humans worth saving?” and “Why do they fold their pizza before eating it?”
