    Promising

    The episode was quite funny. A breath of fresh air. Can't wait for more new episodes.

    hilarious

    A murderous but empathetic alien that embodies the best of humanity juxtaposed with characters embodying the worst of humanity. Dark, fast humour, reminiscent of Deadpool sparkles through the plot threads. Absolutely refreshing and watch worthy. Hope it makes many seasons.

    Great start!

    So far it has everything you'd want! Suspense, comedy, plot. This could easily turn into a 10.

    Very Funny

    Plot: this introduction episode is very funny. The beginning is a little strange, you can't get where it want to get, but as much as you keep watching it became more and more clear and funny.

    Actors and Actress & Acting: it's just the first one episode, but I have a good impression about the main characters.

    Soundtrack: I liked it.

    Visual Effects: nothing to say, they are well done (but maybe improvable).

    Conclusions: if you are searching something to cheer you up this show will be a good decision. It also has that mysterious aura that makes it more intriguing.

    This is actually funny

    I went in cautious (cause I really like Alan Tudyk and I can't seem to find a good comedy nowadays) and I didn't wanted to be disappointed again ... but this exceeded my expectations, it's really good, and very original. Can't wait to see more!

    • Trivia
      The mention of 59 died to save 1 in a mine disaster, is actually based on a real life mining disaster at the Jokerville Mine, in Crested Butte, Colorado. The disaster occurred on January 24, 1884.

      Asta asks Harry to pick her up at 10 and take her to her cabin to pick up her stuff. Harry spent time in the morning looking for his missing equipment in bright sunlight before picking up Asta and heading to her cabin. When they arrived at the cabin, the sun is barely cracking the horizon. It is obviously barely past sunrise.
    • Quotes

      Harry Vanderspeigle: [voiceover] The answer's simple. It's nighttime. I'll just break into that kid's house and kill him. I'll say one thing about whiskey. It's allowing me to make smart, rational, decisions.
