The Aliens
Created by Fintan Ryan
On E4
A darkly comedic sci-fi allegory about xenophobia and belonging, anchored by a cross-species romance that humanizes both sides of a systemic divide.
Nearly 40 years ago aliens crash-landed in the UK. They look like us, but are forced to live in a ghetto. Border control officer Lewis falls in love with one.
