People of Earth is an American science fiction sitcom television series created by David Jenkins about a support group for alien abductees, as well as the aliens who had abducted them. TBS ordered the pilot under the name The Group in May 2015,[1] and announced a 10-episode order in January 2016.[2] The series premiered on October 31, 2016, on TBS. On September 13, 2017, TBS renewed the series for a third season,[3] but on June 9, 2018, they reversed the decision and canceled the series with season 3 already written.[4]

Plot

[edit]

The series follows city journalist Ozzie Graham (Wyatt Cenac), who travels to Beacon, New York to write a piece on a support group called "StarCrossed", who are survivors of alien encounters. Although skeptical at first, Ozzie realizes the truth of the group's claims when he begins to recall similar experiences. Ozzie eventually quits his job and moves to Beacon to further investigate the town's strange occurrences, as well as resolve issues in his past related to his possible abduction.

As the series progresses, Ozzie gradually learns that his employer, Jonathan Walsh, is a reptilian in disguise. Jonathan, who has considered him a friend since he abducted the young Ozzie, explains that the Trinity Federation, an alliance among three races of extra-terrestrials (greys, whites, and reptilians), was sent many years ago to conquer Earth under reptilian leadership. However, in his time on Earth, Jonathan has developed sympathy for humans and wants to expose the truth about the invasion, so he hopes to persuade his alien coworkers and the humans he calls friends to help.

New York City reporter Ozzie Graham travels to Beacon, New York to do a story on StarCrossed, a support group for "experiencers", victims of alien abduction.

Ozzie quits his New York City job for one in Beacon, but has some difficulty adjusting to his new life and his alien abduction. Ozzie tries to pick a sponsor at StarCrossed. Ozzie's former boss, Jonathan (a reptilian), tries to convince Ozzie to return to New York City. Jonathan has been using his Glint Enterprises media empire to control and cover-up stories about alien activity. Kurt, another reptilian, goes to Beacon dressed as a human to try and clean up the Ozzie mess, only to be killed in a hit and run by Gina, who was texting while driving. Beacon P.D. Officer Glimmer cleans up Kurt's body as its human disguise wears off.

She admits to being abducted with him, but their marriage was always bad and she still wants a divorce. Officer Glimmer tells Gina that she only hit a raccoon. Gerry and Yvonne investigate Gina's hit and run, figuring out that she hit a reptilian, whose acidic blood burned its shape into the pavement. Jonathan visits the Sub-Ship, the aliens' spaceship, to give Don (a kindhearted white alien) and Jeff (a stuffy, workaholic grey alien) the bad news about Kurt, which hits them both hard.

Jeff is angry with Jonathan for getting Kurt killed. The Assessor reveals that the reptilians' agenda (consistent with Richard's theory about presidents) is "travelling light years to an inhabited planet, hiding among their dominant species for two centuries, and subverting them from within." Ozzie's flashbacks reveal that Jonathan visited him during his childhood, in both reptilian and human form.

Gerry's historical research tells him that an abduction will happen tonight, so he plans to be the next "experiencer". He finds the courage to tell Yvonne how he feels about her and she fully reciprocates – twice. Don and Kelly go out for drinks and dancing. The Assessor orders Jonathan to kill Ozzie, who is still digging into Glint Enterprises, worrying fellow reptilians Bono and Elon Musk. Jonathan, deeply attached to Ozzie since abducting him as a child, gives him proof of Glint Enterprises' coverups to publish in order to protect them both. Jeff is unable to do the (Gerry's) abduction without Don, who is on his date.
88"Mars or Bust"Rodman FlenderDavid JenkinsDecember 12, 2016 (2016-12-12)U13.124080.76[14]
Ozzie's exposé of Glint Enterprises leads to a job at the New York Times, but they back off after his abduction story is brought into the light. Jeff takes control of Nancy, has her leave Jonathan with no money, then has her join StarCrossed to ruin the group. Officer Glimmer has teenagers abduct and rough up Father Doug, twisting the results to convince Doug to kick StarCrossed out of the church basement. Ozzie salvages the offer from New York, but has another flashback to his childhood abduction when he stops at a particular store on the edge of Beacon.

Gerry, never abducted and upset that Yvonne doesn't want a relationship, quits the group and goes to work for his dad. When Richard flirts with Nancy, Jeff uses this to learn more about Gina, successfully dismantling StarCrossed from within. Ozzie's parents reveal that they lost him for 48 hours at the store in Beacon, after which he started drawing a reptilian. Father Doug takes a vacation and Chelsea realizes her husband is cheating – she goes to watch Doug's gig with his reunited band. Don is concerned that Jeff is off-mission in his use of Nancy, not realizing that Jeff is about to have Nancy kill Gina.
1010"Snake Man and Little Guy"Greg DanielsAlyssa Lane & Alex ShermanDecember 19, 2016 (2016-12-19)U13.124100.683[15]
Gina helps Ozzie come to terms with memories of his childhood abduction—one memory is revealed to be a young Gina on the alien ship. Ozzie and Gina visit the store in Beacon, and he recalls discovering Jonathan that day with two other reptilians (Kurt and Lewis the store clerk). Don tries to stop Jeff, who justifies that killing Ozzie and Gina now will save them from becoming slaves in ore mines when MainStation arrives. Don warns Jonathan, now living with Officer Glimmer, about Jeff's murderous plans using Nancy. When Jonathan stops Nancy, Jeff triggers her self-destruct—the resulting destruction allows Richard to see that Jonathan is a reptilian. Doug and Chelsea give in to their attraction and act on it fully. Don and Kelly give in to their attraction and leave for Iceland (his fake home). MainStation arrives, but Jeff is surprised when unknown beings, rather than his Commanders, emerge. It is revealed that Jonathan had all eight members of StarCrossed together on his ship decades ago, forming his deep personal connection with them as youngsters/young adults (Margaret). Gerry is finally abducted.

Production

[edit]

TBS first began developing the show in May 2015 and was going by The Group as its working title at the time.[25] The final title "People Of Earth" is derived from classic sci-fi media: in the 1956 film Earth vs the Flying Saucers, conquering aliens first address humans with the phrase, "People of Earth. Attention!" [26]

The pilot was ordered to series with a 10-episode order by TBS in January 2016.[27][28] It was directed by Greg Daniels and shot in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[29]

Reception

[edit]

People of Earth has received mostly positive reviews from television critics. The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes gives the first season an approval rating of 89%, based on 27 reviews, with an average rating of 7.30/10. The site's critical consensus reads: "People of Earth skillfully grounds its high-concept premise with a strong story, quirky humor, and sweetly relatable humanity."[30] On Metacritic, the first season has a score of 72 out of 100, based on reviews from 20 critics, indicating "Generally favorable reviews".[31] The second season on Metacritic has a score of 76 out of 100, based on reviews from 20 critics, also indicating "Generally favorable reviews".[32]

Mike Hale of The New York Times gave it a positive review, writing: "People of Earth provides a funny line or detail just often enough to keep you watching."[33] Maureen Ryan of Variety also praised the series, declaring "People of Earth may be slight and decidedly modest in its ambitions and execution, but it’s not a show that sets out to mock or belittle unconventional people."[34] The Hollywood Reporter's Tim Goodman said People of Earth was "easily one of the best comedies on television."[35]
