I added it to my watch list because Robert Duncan McNeill is an executive producer, and finally started on it yesterday. Definitely enjoying it so far.
I’m only partway through the first season, but it’s basically “What if ET was kind of a jerk?” (or possibly “What if Dr. House was an alien?”) If you’ve seen it, no spoilers please, but curious if anyone else has watched it and their thoughts on it.
There’s a difference between being contrived, and seeming contrived. The latter is usually an indication of poor writing or directing.
Now you’re just dodging the question.
