The overall result is pleasant, even beguiling, but it feels a little inconsequential in a season that has brought us new comedies like “Atlanta,” “Insecure” and “Fleabag.” ... Through the first four episodes, though, the human characters don’t really come into their own in comic terms, except for Brian Huskey as Richard, who’s the most conspiracy-minded of the group.
-
People of Earth is a very, very strange series, and not all of it works (including a recurring talking deer). But it has a surprising amount of character development, a great cast, and a low-key, almost indy approach to humor (“There is dickery happening in Beacon”) that makes Ozzie’s transformation from skeptic to believer one that is both silly and sincere, and worth watching.
-
The series will need the members of StarCrossed to evolve to keep them from being one note.
-
People of Earth earns kudos for going for the stars, but it also suffers from a failure to launch.
-
People of Earth does have plenty of moments and personalities to warrant a look. You’ll just wish the whole experience amounted to more than lost time.
-
Instead of ridiculing the abductees, the show is a surprisingly earnest look at a group of lonely oddballs struggling with hazy but traumatic memories. But both its humor and its more serious themes feel undernourished, and the end result is a comedy that, despite its potential, feels slight.
