Alan Tudyk stars as the stranded alien living in Patience, CO. Why has an alien come to earth is an answer you wouldn't expect.
At first the show comes across as an heir to John Carpenter's Starman, but something darker is going. With Harry the Doctor and just with the town itself. There is a murder. There is spousal abuse. Harry the Doctor needs to kill a kid who can see through his disguise. It jumps back and forth between funny and terrifying. There is not a lot of motivation for some of the character's action in this first episode but I hope it smooths out.
And I liked it. It is kind of quirky. I always enjoy Alan Tudyk's performances and this is very Alan Tudyk. Best of all, the alien isn't here to deliver a valuable lesson.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
