Does anyone else watch Resident Alien? (lemmy.world)

I binged it on Netflix and am now starting on the new third season.

Between Alan Tudyk being hilarious virtually every second he's onscreen and the large amount of indigenous representation without ever doing the "mystical Indian" bullshit, I'm really enjoying the show.

Any Alan Tudyk role, I jump right on in! Its corny at times, but enjoyable.

My hope is 1 more season, because beyond that it turns into "big bang theory" levels of seasons 🙃

Okay, but how's this for a spinoff? Every episode is just the sheriff giving a long monologue about whatever happens to be on his mind.

I haven't read them yet, but there is a lot of source material to work with.

I started reading them. They're fun, but it's clear how much Alan Tudyk made the role his own.

This would probably be a good set of 10m episodes 🤣

Giving sheriff an in-character youtube channel where he kind of recapped the previous episodes but went off on tangents would be perfect between-season content.

A weekly podcast during the off-season in which he and one other character from the show live-comment on each episode of the previous season, but then the sheriff ends up on legendary tangents the moment he shows up in an episode, starting by telling the guest to shut up because they just got to the good part.

Also, a blog filled with unfinished thoughts because he couldn't be bothered or entries that start with one tone and end with a completely different one because the deputy was assigned to finish. Call it Big Black Law Blog.
