Resident Alien (TV Series) Birds of a Feather (2021) User Reviews

I am enjoying this show more than I expected

[sazarkanas · 9/10 · 18 February 2021]

Good episode, some story and character development, some very funny parts and cannot wait for the next week after the cliffhanger.

Now this is getting seriously good

I am loving the direction of the show, each episode is an improvement from the last. I am really invested in these characters and this story. It's all so great

Apparently I dream now

They had me in the first half, not gonna lie. Great episode with a few good laughs, a heartfelt moment, and a great cliffhanger.

LOL. This episode is coming into its own.

The writing is really really good. This episode had so many 1-liners I lost track. I am glued to Resident Alien.

Laughed out loud several times

[m_nospam · 10/10 · 19 February 2021]

I am loving the humor in this series! A bit dark, embarrassing even, but somehow human (?!) The kids are surprisingly well written and acted. And the stories aren't shallow, there's some character depth, too - this is not just a sit-com.

Really interesting cliff hanger...

Highlight episode for the season so far

[DocIndy · 10/10 · 22 February 2021]

This show has so many laugh out loud moments! It starts with opening dream sequence parody and continues throughout. This show is well written with great casting and acting. I hope it can keep the quality entertainment coming. It is a show that I truly look forward to watching each week!

Great Episode! Especially Liked the song at the end!

I liked the visit to the Ute Reservation where Harry learned to interact with others playing basketball and that interaction was a good thing. I also enjoyed the song at the end and followed up on the internet to watch the video for it (yes, it's a real song). It's nice to hear a hip-hop song that's not about violence or misogyny.

So much laughter!

[cauldra · 10/10 · 11 March 2021]

I was laughing out loud a lot. This episode had parts that seemed more suspenseful than other episodes somehow but only for brief moments. The kids were great and Harry had Alan Tudyk's perfect timing so he was hilarious.

Trying too hard

[Hillius · 7/10 · 17 June 2021]

The search for the missing foot corpse continues at the lake much to the annoyance of Harry who later accepts a dinner invitation to the mayor's house. Asta looks into the missing prescription pad while Max and his new friend Sahar plan to spy on Harry. Later, Asta, Dan and Harry make a road trip out to a reservation where a secret is revealed.

While having breakfast at the bar, Harry gets a visit from the mayor inviting him to dinner, where he also runs to Asta and the rather unlikable D'Arcy who latches onto Harry as her dinner companion. At dinner D'Arcy continues to make a fool out of herself while Max and Sahar make a move in order to learn more about Harry.

The next day, Harry gets commandeered to visit a reservation with Dan and Asta in order to give an elderly patient care. Harry, who is really struggling with human behavior this episode, makes an attempt at humor, but ends up blurting out business that is not his to reveal. This revelation in turn has an impact on Asta, her friends and her family as well. Later, Harry engages in playing with some of the other tribal members, but in reality is horribly homesick.

Back at Harry's cabin, Max and Sahar gain entry through a bit of forgery, and later get themselves into trouble by snooping around. Finally, a new character shows up much to the complete shock of Harry as he returns home and finds his house in disarray.

Overall, this series is pretty decent, but attempts at humor feel awkward and forced much of the time. RA also suffers from some of the same things that make other shows bad, such as overly wise children, and.generalized misandry. In terms of the children, what type of parent allow their young daughter to go out at night with snow on the ground? RA started out cute and touching but is bordering on the annoying here. 7/10.

Best episode so far but..

[aboalhyjaa · 9/10 · 18 February 2021]

I hate the fact that they are romanticizing Hijab, and for a kid! Not only that, they stereotyped the Muslim girl is if she was ashamed of having a period. To be fair, everything else was super funny. The kid should at least be nominated for an Amy award, and the plot of the show is getting better by every episode, so the ratings should be higher tbh.

Birds of a Feather

[Prismark10 · 6/10 · 20 February 2021]

I bet the writers thought they were being so original with that Cheers opening.

Only for Wandavision beating them to it with the sitcom homages.

Harry's lack of awareness means he blurts out about just who is Asta's daughter. Much to Asta's shock and embarrassment.

However Harry fails to realise that the kids are on to him and they have copied the key to his house. It is not the only surprise he gets when he goes home at night.

I do wonder that maybe Harry should had done more than watch Law & Order to learn about life on earth. He comes across as a one club golfer.

Full woke.

[twittkamp · 2/10 · 22 February 2021]

The show is funny and I like it. But this episode had so many wtf moments. One or two could be ignored as edgy humor, but it was so many I have to assume they let some woke activist co write. "I've never met a white man I couldn't trust" followed by the daughter eye rolling. Get it? It was sarcasm. Hahahaha. And that's just one example.

Just watched Cheers yesterday, heh. The show is so up and down, even within the episode itself.
