Resident Alien
ComedyDramaMysterySci-Fi45 min per episode
Crash-landed on Earth, an alien assumes the identity of a small-town doctor and tries to carry out a secret mission without drawing attention. Alan Tudyk is Harry, whose attempt at a quiet cover life gets complicated when he's pulled into a local murder investigation and has to pass as a functioning member of the community. As patients, neighbors, and everyday human behavior close in around him, Harry's outsider observations turn into a bigger problem: the more he learns about people, the harder it becomes to stay detached from the planet he was sent to destroy.
