Critics

Audience

An alien crash-lands in Colorado and assumes the identity of a small-town doctor while pursuing a secret mission. Drawn into a local murder investigation, he must navigate human customs, unexpected relationships, and growing questions about his view of humanity.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like offbeat, darkly comic science fiction with a fish-out-of-water lead, especially alongside Farscape or Chuck; Not for you if you prefer consistent world-building and fast pacing.
