Does anyone else watch Resident Alien? (lemmy.world)

I binged it on Netflix and am now starting on the new third season.

Between Alan Tudyk being hilarious virtually every second he's onscreen and the large amount of indigenous representation without ever doing the "mystical Indian" bullshit, I'm really enjoying the show.

Does the cringe awkward comedy ever stop?

I love Alan Tudyk and was extremely excited for this show hitting Netflix but the first episode was uncomfortable and then the second didn't let up on that so I stopped a minute into it.

Not really sure how you could "love Alan Tudyk" and be this disinterested in his comedic style. In that vein, was K-2SO unfunny to you?

It's not his style, it's the show's writing. He was fantastic. But I can't do cringe awkward comedy. Shows like Seinfeld or the Office hurt to watch even though I recognize they're good shows.

All due respect, that sounds like a preference rather than a critique.

I didn't intend to critique the show.
