Resident Alien series breaks Netflix top 10
Resident Alien is a sci-fi comedy-drama series that was added to Netflix earlier in February.
Based on Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse’s comic book of the same name, the TV show was created by Chris Sheridan and first premiered on the channel Syfy in January 2021, where it began to develop an extremely passionate following.
Alan Tudyk stars as Harry Vanderspeigle, an alien who crashes on Earth and adopts the identity of a physician in a small Colorado town. He’s actually been sent to destroy humanity but instead, he winds up becoming the local doctor and grapples with the weight of the task he’s been assigned.
