Although the series did not get re-upped for a second season, I found it so many years later to be both inspiring, sensitive and tender.
Starman, played by Mr. Hayes, came to life and captivated me into believing an alien can take on human form and excel in all the ways we hope humanity can behave. His expressions of tenderness, not only for his son, Scott, admirably played by Barnes, but all of those he encountered was an inspiration to be more open to all human frailty.
The drama was low pitched but the messages in each episode finely drawn and memorable.
It is a pity that the simple messages in a series like this are not more appreciated and valued.
