About
You can stream Resident Alien (2021) on Netflix with a subscription, or buy on Apple TV+.
Crash-landed alien Harry takes on the identity of a small-town Colorado doctor. Arriving with a secret mission, he starts off living a simple life…but things get a bit rocky when he’s roped into solving a local murder and realizes he needs to assimilate into his new world. As he does, he begins to wrestle with the moral dilemma of his mission and asking the big life questions like: “Are human beings worth saving?” and “Why do they fold their pizza before eating it?”
Small-town Colorado serves as the perfect, snowy backdrop for a misplaced extraterrestrial trying to mimic human eccentricity. This awkward fish-out-of-water comedy finds its pulse in the frantic, hilarious struggle to hide a cosmic secret while playing local doctor.
