Best of S2 yet
Calicodreamin4 March 2022
By far the best episode they've put together for season two, the storylines were well developed and had a bit of the magic back. A few good laughs and although the New York thing is way over the top, at least it's interesting.

They can't all be winners!

They can't all be winners!

I like this show, but this episode seem to lack continuity, focus, and script direction. Every TV series has a lull filler episode. This just happens to be the one.

Good

Watching this season feels like being in therapy, sometimes in a good way sometimes in a bad way.

I like that they're solving they're problems as we all know that they think life is as at always been and there's no such thing as "aliens".

What troubles me is the -Woke- this season suddenly had and yet its somewhat wrong. You see, im a muslim and women can actually divorce their husbands and the other way around, its called "khula", google it.

So far this is the best episode of the really weak RA season 2!
martinsmarkss4 March 2022
Tough still nowhere near as good as RA S01! Had a few hilarious moments especially loved dark humor with an Octopus, that's what made S1 so funny dark humor, interoperate attitude towards kids and people! More Harry and him being alien !

D'Arcy needs to go.
chemattstry20 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
They killed off 42 when it should have been D'Arcy that should have died. She's become very annoying in season 2. She wasn't that great in season 1, but the character is ridiculous, at this point.

On top of the D'Arcy issue, the mayor has also become an eye roll of an annoyance.

Killing off 42 was a huge mistake. Watching an octopus interact with Asta was funny. His character was funnier than most of the other side characters.

Sahar was great in the first season but the act is wearing thin in season 2. We get it, she's very smart for her age. The character also doesn't really seem to understand her own religious beliefs.

An Alien in New York
Prismark102 April 2022
The episode opens with a backstory about the real relationship between Harry and Dr Sam Hodges. It seems both were involved in something sinister that also involves New York.

The episode also sees alien Harry in New York with Asta. Not before Harry had an octopus dinner.

It seems the person to Harry needs to find is a reclusive Banksy type artist known as Goliath.

I think the Harry/Dr Hodges part of the story should had been introduced earlier on in the series.

This smacks of writers rooting around for a story to find. This includes the bag full of cash that Harry has been dipping into.

There were parts of the story that just screeched, especially with Harry high on drugs.

Sahar Lied

Warning: Spoilers
Season 2 is doing a really bad job compared to season 1. Characters are becoming stale compared to season 1 representation. I loved 42. His end was not ok. Also Sahar lied. Divorce can be initiated by Muslim women.

losing interest
Rob-O-Cop3 March 2022
Still too much on the side characters. Not sure I care about the mayor beyond the odd comedy interjection.

Not enough of the reason we're all watching, ie the alien., the one mentioned in the title. It kind of feels like they hadn't thought this through passed the first series and are desperately making it up as they go.

An Alien in New York.
bombersflyup3 March 2022
Warning: Spoilers
An Alien in New York is an entire episode of nothingness... It's weird and pretty much void of comedy, with so many pointless scenes involving irrelevant characters. What the hell.
