Resident Alien is a science fiction series created by Chris Sheridan, based on a comic book by Peter Hogan and Steven Parkhouse, about an alien who crash lands on Earth and takes up residence in Patience, Colorado. Besides getting the mostly comic and often insightful reactions of an alien to human society, we get the reactions of the locals to the quirky alien in their midst.
The title of the series is not just a play on the idea of an alien living on Earth. Resident can be used to describe a doctor in a hospital, and our Harry, because he has assumed the form of Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle on Earth, becomes the doctor for the humans living in Patience. I must also add that Patience is a homophone of patients, the people a resident doctor treats.
The series is reviewed by Victoria Grossack.
