Is it for me?
Dark, sweary comedy for people who like their sci-fi crude and deadpan, and who will take Alan Tudyk's oddness over polish. Harry narrates human customs in a flat, naive voice, and the laughs come from how badly he gets them wrong, like an awkward bowling date with D'Arcy. The townspeople, Asta especially, give it a warmth the gore does not cancel.
Before you start
Later seasons add more alien backstory and split the cast into side plots.
4 seasons, 44 episodes, 60 min each, about 44 hours so far
