This is one of the best comedies to come along in years. Not just for sci-fi but for any genre. It's witty, clever, intelligent and laugh out loud funny. Alan Tudyk is great as the alien who crash lands on Earth, takes over a human's body and then tries to blend in while being a total novice in the ways of human behavior. Initially, He bases all his knowledge of Earth from watching "Law and Order" and "Sex n the City." He's never sure when laughing is appropriate and has trouble managing the concept of laughter. He speaks in an odd cadence and can be brutally direct to the point of rudeness because he has no concept of tact. And as he settles into his human form he begins to experience vanity and jealousy.
The acting is first rate and the supporting cast is excellent, especially Sara Tomko. The writers don't dumb down the stories for the audience. They expect the viewers to understand why Tudyk's character is so awkward in so many situations. Tudyk has always been a good performer in supporting roles but this show lets him shine as the star. And he runs with it.
The outstanding acting and directing and the witty, clever scripts create a first rate comedy with laugh out loud moments throughout each episode. Season 1 was a riot!
