Firstly I'll start off by saying anything that Michael Socha does is worth watching, very talented, be it being human, This is England or Silent Witness. Nice to see him play a different kind of character in this, almost the unwilling hero, behaving against type.
As for the show itself, it's wonderfully quirky, as a huge fan of District 9, it comes as no surprise that I love the premise of the show, but the realisation of it is rather good too. Sensible to have the Aliens looking like us, saves on effects, and adds for some interesting plots. Very well made considering the obscurity of its transmission.
They realised the divide between humans and Morks really well, that whole border control setup and fur drug use, so clever and original.
It's punchy, funny, leaving you wanting more, and personally I hope we get more. Special mention for Jim Howick, he was fantastic throughout.
