Alan Tudyk as the alien trying to fumble his way through pretending to be human returns in a welcome second series of RESIDENT ALIEN, now getting a DVD and Blu-ray release courtesy of Fabulous Films.
When we last saw Harry (Tudyk) he was on the way back to his home planet. Unfortunately it turns out that young Max (Judah Prehn) has stowed away, resulting in Harry crash-landing back on earth, his spaceship still invisible, while he loses his memory. Octopus No.42 (Nathan Fillion) is able to restore it, only for Harry's next problem to be that he has to prevent the imminent destruction of earth by his own people. Meanwhile the police suspect Harry of being involved in murder while Linda Hamilton (yes that Linda Hamilton) and her team of FBI X-Files wannabes are closing in on their alien quarry.
Season One of RESIDENT ALIEN was a smart, tightly scripted and above all very funny version of the 'fish out of water' concept that made the most of Alan Tudyk's comic timing. Season Two allows more time for character development of the rest of the (sizeable) cast such that the laughs don't come as thick and fast. There's enough to keep you watching, though, such that RESIDENT ALIEN remains one of the SyFy Channel's best original productions.
Fabulous Films four disc Blu-ray or DVD set presents all 16 episodes of Season Two. Extras consist of a single, four minute long deleted scene on disc four but that's all.
Resident Alien Season 2 is out from Fabulous Films on Blu-ray and DVD on Monday 4th September 2023
