Critics

Audience

After a furry alien crashes into a suburban family’s garage, the household secretly takes him in and tries to protect him from discovery. His wisecracks, unusual habits, and constant mischief turn everyday family life into a stream of comic complications.

My take

You’ll enjoy this if you like lighthearted family sitcoms, eccentric outsiders, and nostalgic 1980s humor; Not for you if you prefer realistic premises, consistent writing, or more modern comedy.
