Really, this show has missed the mark significantly right from the start. Given the huge amount of 'fish out of water' comedy opportunities offered by an alien trying to fit into human society, it's surprisingly short on actual laughs. Most episodes you get a couple of fun moments, but it really ran out of ideas by season 2 and now is just coasting along, being more of a soap than a comedy.
The storylines are all over the place, some of the characters who used to be lovable have degraded into merely annoying, and you could write each episodes plot on the back of a business card, but its still a show I watch most weeks after I've run out of other, better shows.
Alan Tudyk is always entertaining though. And given the quality of other shows like La Brea, I guess I should be grateful for what we have gotten. Given that great shows like Raised by Wolves only got 2 seasons, and this one has 4, I can only assume its extremely cheap to produce and is still returning a profit.
