I tried but not my cup of tea. Alan Tudyk's present voice seems to be an acquired taste which I have not acquired. Tom Yossarian Joad Feb 2024 #3

Mr YD wants it to go on for another 3 seasons or so just to see what the writers do with Sahar. She is our favorite character.

but that's as far as I got. I love absurd humor, but this was just too much for me.

I'm watching it as well. I'm a bit underwhelmed. It's okay. His voice and mannerisms are hard to take at times. I get it. That's the whole point. I may give it one more episode and then I might bail.

Jeff Bridges did awkward in a much more charming way.

This one is a bit grating. He’s clearly not suppose to be charming. I also think he’s meant to get on people’s nerves.

The fact that the other characters think he's weird but not all that weird and put up with him is what's amusing.

I’m not a sci-fi fan so didn’t expect to like it. Harry was good enough but the supporting characters and actors were the best part of the series. The smart, sassy kids. The pro-woman pov. The quirky guys. The evil alien-tracker. The sheriff-deputy dynamic. Loved it all.

The main character was just too annoying. Both his voice and mannerisms got to me.
