we all know david jenkins for our flag means death BUT I want to take a minute to hype up what I feel to be an incredibly underrated series that he is also responsible for– people of earth.
the synopsis is ‘People of Earth centers on skeptical journalist Ozzie Graham who investigates a support group to write about the members’ supposed alien encounters. The more he digs into their oddball claims, the more he realizes there is truth in their stories and possibly even signs that point to his own alien abduction. The onetime outsider now finds himself a part of this eclectic group of misfits, all the while struggling with the idea of knowing that life could exist beyond our world.’ x
the lil grey alien jeff is in love with his bestie kurt and jeff KISSING kurt brings him back to life after he gets run over by a car. don is their coworker who gets sick of his job and decides to become a hipster barista
the main cast is so incredibly quirky and memorable! found family! lil weirdos finding other weirdos to be weird with! (oh and the jeff the alien isn’t the only gay rep– ennis is a member of the support group and is a farmer who recently came out to his family)
the main character ozzie sees talking deer all the time
nancy is a robot and jonathan is a reptilian who met ozzie (when ozzie was a kid) and went ‘huh. this guy’s neat’ and has (unbeknownst to ozzie) followed him around his whole life and protected him. he actually rebels against his superiors to try and save ozzie/humanity
all in all I am begging you to give this show a chance. its quirky its funny while still having its emotional and hardhitting moments the character dynamics are all amazing. the concept is so fun and unique. people’s differences aren’t treated as jokes and instead its about them learning how to embrace them. I love this show and it deserved a third season!!!!!!!!!!! it’s available on hulu or ofc u could always put your pirate hats on <3
