About

If you enjoy broad, silly alien-among-us comedy with a steady stream of gags and guest stars, this is an easy watch, especially if you like 3rd Rock from the Sun; Not for you if you want subtle humor or low-volume performances.

Pros: absurd fish-out-of-water laughs; strong supporting cast; light social commentary | Cons: heavy slapstick; jokes can feel stretched; voices may annoy
