People of Earth
Created by David Jenkins
On TBS
A quirky ensemble comedy about a skeptic infiltrating a support group for alien abductees, balancing absurdist humor with genuine character warmth and creeping paranoia about what might actually be true.
Skeptical journalist Ozzie Graham investigates a support group for alien abductees to write about the members' supposed 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.
