very good episode
sazarkanas22 February 2024
While season one was very good the second season had its moments , but still was okey only, the first episode of third season was quite similar to all second season but this episode was a stand out getting back to their roots. Not only we had hilarious moment the mystery and even a little bit of horror elements. A big thank you for not repeating the story and spinning it to unexpected route. The actors are perfect as always we had a little bonding moments between the characters. Asta's father being awesome as always. Overall very good episode i really hope the rest of the season will fallow its suit and be one of the stronger seasons.

Another episode that was head and shoulders above all of the terrible season 2 with it's preachy not-much-to-do-with-aliens aimless scripts.

Finally we've got some sort of story that seems to have direction and relevance to aliens, as per the title.

And the odd decent joke or 3. Darcy wasn't that annoying, the kids had some good scenes, loved the trap, hopefully Mr Gray isn't done and dusted in 2 episodes, it was just getting interesting.

Harry delivered some great in-character moments which we were noticeably missing from season two, and I'm liking the alien abduction of the mayor angle. Hopefully the owl detail will go somewhere.

Surprisingly good!

I started watching this show and could not stop. It is clever, funny, and all the characters work well together. Started watching on Netflix until season 3, I got really nervous I would not be able to finish on season 3, so I started hunting and found it on Peacock. I really hope they extend with more seasons. I would highly recommend this show as it is laid back and the humor really works well. If you want to have a laid back time with no stress keep watching, and I'm looking forward to more seasons. I wish I could find more shows like this. The people that wright this type of show must really get along well.

Love this show!
denise_actress17 March 2024
I recently discovered this show and it's hilarious. All the characters are richly developed and quirky. The lead guy is also someone I never really heard of but God if he's not hilarious as the alien and human form Harry i don't know what else is. But I do have a complaint, I feel that when we don't see him in his alien costume we are cheated out of him being the alien. I find the subplot of the people of Patience to be very touching. The best scenes are with Max and Sahar with Harry. I'm just so confused why this show isn't a major talked about series when lesser shows if lesser quality get a lot of praise.

Levi show's his feet !!!!!
tiggerden23 February 2024
Hottest episode ever in TV, even though I stream video's. I don't know what the producers were thinking when they came up with this episode. Obviously someone there has a foot fetish. Very Cool BTW.

I have loved this show from the very start. It's fun, it's quirky. It's different than other shows.

Everyone likes labels, label this ... label that this show is fun, it keeps my interest throughout the episode. This episode blew my mind. Forgive me ... an African American guy taking pictures of a White guys foot ???? For sale on the internet ?

This show just presented a very real sexual desire without being sexual about it. Levi has the most gorgeous feet on television. ((((Applause )))

Sounds like Christmas on Hallmark Channel
mgsdawgs22 February 2024
This episode, I fear, not so little Max, the self proclaimed new Alien Tracker may be telling too many of his new friends from the comic book store that Harry is an alien. All this time I thought he was good at keeping secrets!

Here's my main beef from last night's show, I could only think hearing the darn background music that a Christmas movie from The Hallmark Channel had exploded all over It. In the 1st half, it was so prominent and annoying I couldn't help but focus on it. Doubt I can watch this one again. Will the cute background soundtrack be back next week, oh no, how will I stomach my pizza? Still the best show on TV.

The Upper Hand
Prismark109 May 2024
It looks like better writers might have the upper hand in the third series. The writing is sharper and funnier.

Joseph Rainier has taken Asta out on a date. While Harry and D'Arcy snoop into his house but it is a trap.

At least Asta gets to tell Joseph everything but it is the plot for Mork and Mindy.

Max now without Sahar. Proclaims himself as the alien tracker and found a few friends that he tells Harry is an alien.

It all leads to a confrontation between Harry and Joseph. Somehow a dull refrigerator man comes into the mix.

At least Harry might have made a breakthrough as to what the Grey aliens want.

The refrigerator guy was a neat touch as Harry and Joseph went all (Robert Downey jr) Sherlock Holmes movies style confrontation.

Asta's dad had the best line. 'You can't swing a cat in this town without hitting an alien.'

Sheriff Mike Thompson beat them all with the look in his face when he woke up.

The Upper Hand.
bombersflyup17 April 2024
Warning: Spoilers
D'arcy inserts herself into Harry's mission, while Kate grows more uncomfortable in her own home, in The Upper Hand.

The plot of last episode seems to have carried over into this one, which was substance-less in the first place and so the soap opera continues to roll... Notice how the protagonist Harry's entirely reactive now, to the sub-standard characters surrounding him, the show's suppose to be about him. Then there are these character's that nobody cares about, that are in there for humour like Sheriff Mike and Judy, who have never once been funny. Didn't think this show could be boring, but yeah gonna have to call it a day unfortunately.
