The whole premise of the show is satirical, of course, but it's the rare moments of brilliance that make RESIDENT ALIEN special.
Viewing the world from the perspective of an alien that is only marginally smarter than humans is an interesting point of view, and it gives us full access to the absurdity of human endeavors. It points out the fallacies involved in our bigorty and doublethink with cleverly thrown in lines like the one by little burqa girl about strong women.
What do you mean, "that's not satire"? Are you sure about that?
Because if not, it would be a completely inappropriate joke on the backs of countless oppressed women in muslim communities who are forced to wear those burqas.
Nah, you're tripping. How smart of them.
