Editorial Review:
As Newcomers -- fugitive slaves from the planet Tencton -- Detective George Francisco and his family face prejudice and intolerance as they struggle to assimilate to life on their adopted planet. Together with his human partner, hard-edged Detective Matt Sikes, George walks the beat in Slagtown, Los Angeles, a Newcomer slum teeming with vice and corruption. More than just another cop show or science fiction show, Alien Nation utilizes a unique and exciting blend of action, suspense, humor, and social drama to explore the sociology of what it means to be an outsider striving to fit in.
Alien Nation - The Complete Series Reviews:
A Great Show 
2009-12-12 - A great show with great character development from the first episode to the last, its too bad the show was cancelled but the movie based on the series are great too.
Alien Nation DVD 
2009-11-18 - Great series. I watched when it was on TV. I was a bit disappointed in the quality of the DVD's. Maybe I am am used to the new High-Def/Blu-ray videos... Looked like a VHS tape that was transferred to digital. Fun to watch though.
Excellant
2009-09-19 - I just loved this series and to finally find it and than own it, is fabulous! The product arrived in a timely matter and was in the condition that it was supposed to be. I can't say enough good things about this purchase.
Underrated series
2009-07-23 - As another reviewer put it, this show is part cop drama, part social commentary. We like to think our age of "Political Correctness" that there is no such thing as racism; unfortunately it is still around. And this show puts that right in your face. Yes, they do try to add some humor in with some slapstick (at Newcomer expense), but the fact that no one stops to see if Albert is all right shows the amount of racism that is alive and well in the series. It is a pretty well written series, exploring not only the work lives of two cops, but their personal lives as well; what they feel, what they have to deal with as respective "people" and how they react to what they are put through. This show reminds us to treat all as we wish to be treated, as well as being a good sci-fi cop show.
So-So Packaging 
2009-06-24 - Upon opening the first season/premiere episode package, there were three disks in a 2-disk holder. One of the disks was just losely thrown in with the other two, with no place to hold three disks. Disappointed.
