What Season 1 of Resident Alien
An alien crash-lands his spaceship in Patience, a small town in Colorado, on a secret mission to wipe out humanity. To blend in, he takes on the identity of Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle and ends up replacing the local doctor at the clinic. While searching for the lost device from his ship, Harry faces moral dilemmas that become harder and harder to ignore. Dealing with the neighbors forces him to learn human customs, from marriage to the sense of belonging to a place. On top of that, the mayor's son is the only one who can see his true appearance, which complicates every move he makes.
