**San Francisco, CA** – Netflix’s new sci-fi comedy, *Resident Alien*, is quickly becoming a streaming sensation, boasting a remarkable 97% approval rating. The show, based on the comic books by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse, follows an alien, played brilliantly by Alan Tudyk (*The Rookie*), who crash-lands on Earth with a mission to exterminate humanity. To blend in, he adopts the identity of Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle in a small Colorado town.

However, his plans are complicated as he develops unexpected relationships with the townsfolk, leading him to question his mission. The series cleverly mixes quirky humor, stemming from the alien’s fish-out-of-water experiences (including his reliance on *Law & Order: SVU* for cultural insights), with a compelling mystery as Sheriff Thompson (Corey Reynolds) suspects the new doctor’s true identity.

Supporting characters, including Asta (Sara Tomko) and D’Arcy (Alice Wetterlund), add to the show’s charm and comedic timing. The series’ blend of genres, stellar cast performances, and unpredictable plot twists keep audiences engaged. With four seasons already available, *Resident Alien* offers a captivating and hilarious escape, making it a must-watch for fans of sci-fi, comedy, or simply a well-crafted story. The show’s immense popularity has many hoping Netflix will greenlight further seasons.
