Giving this 7 stars despite the 2nd season being a bit of a let down. The 1st season made me laugh out loud so many times, I love the characters and Alan Tudyk is just amazing in this role.
Not sure what happened to the writers and directors in the second season as there is a significant decline in both. The writer keep telling us how Harry is becoming more and more human, despite him behaving even weirder that in the first season. This goes so far that in the 8th episode he is willing to risk Asta's life for pie! It's just lazy writing, creating artificial conflict by dumbing down characters. Not to mention that all of a sudden there is another alien race on earth and it is to dangerous for Harry's people to send someone to come and destroy the humans, however this is told to Harry by an alien (that died months? Ago) via message... How long has Harry been on Earth at this point? This just seems super messy storywise... it's like they didn't know where to take the story so they threw in a completely new plot without considering the timeline. Lazy writing.
I attribute Harry's extreme awkwardness to some bad directorial choices as Alan Tudyk did a great job in season one and as far as I've noticed it is usually bad directing that messes with actors performances.
I am looking forward to the second part of the second season in hopes that the series will recover from the bad choices that were made.
But even if that doesn't happen, I will be rewatching season one and in worst case scenario pretend that season two never happened.
