Homesick

In the previous episode we learn that the doctor/alien is a pathologist. So in this episode, he works as a general practitioner, because, you know, that is basically the same thing. And we also learn that he started his career as a clinical psychologist, because that is also pretty much the same thing as a pathologist and a general practitioner.

It is ridiculous how people who write these things have zero knowledge about the real world, yet consider themselves to be so smart that they won't even do some basic research in this day and age when such research is neither difficult nor time consuming. A psychologist is not a medical doctor. A pathologist is not the same as a general practitioner. Why not make the protagonist also a pilot, an engineer and a nuclear physicist, because, you know, those are also professions that you can master in an afternoon?

The alien's stupid behavior is getting more and more ridiculous and unbelievable. One second he can perfectly recognize and understand human emotions, the next he is completely clueless about them. And the stupidity of this supposedly superior life form is not just limited to social interactions, but is spilling out to any situation, whenever the writers need a cheap laugh. And regarding emotions, why would he suddenly start having them, if he is a life form that has no emotions (as he himself says)? He isn't even inhabiting a human's body, he just appears to look like a human, so it makes no sense (but I guess it is needed for the plot, so never mind the logic.)

There are a few good jokes in this episode, but they are fewer than in the previous one, and everything is becoming more ridiculous than funny.

The boy in this episode steals the show!!...aaaaahhhhh!!!!

After the surprisingly awesome pilot, this episode ramps up the laughs, and slightly improves the rest.

But it's still struggling with the hour time stamp. Half hour could have maybe been better for the show.

Actor Alan T is a perfect alien!! He actually might be an alien in real life! He's fabulous!! And the writers are so creative! It's humor and rude at the same time! A real creative work of endless entertainment! Thank you!!

There is an interesting hybrid of British humour with Resident Alien.

Harry tries to blend in with his surroundings and finds out that he is dealing with human emotions. He also needs to deal with the patients now he has started his new job as the town doctor.

This includes trying to figure out how to kill that small kid who can see that Harry is an alien. Harry decides to make the kid's death look like an accident.

Harry fantasies of the different types of accidents he can arrange for the kid.

The offbeat stuff is fun yet gross. Like drinking cow's milk in draught form.

It does try to cram in too much and sometimes you can sense where the humour has been borrowed from. The sheriff at the bowling alley was something out of The Big Lebowski.
