the second episode of season one features a sex alien
Okay, nine minutes in, the thing about this episode that actually offends me is that the plot of an alien that kills by the extraction of orgasmic energy was done in 1982 in Slava Tsukerman's Liquid Sky and that film is a genderbending stone feminist masterpiece; if your sex alien is not on that level, just don't even try. (Their sex alien is not on that level.)
When Rachel watched it, I just suggested that she start with the third episode
Definitely beginning to cohere by the third episode. Owen has emotions beyond perving on people, residual hauntings are a classic of British TV, and I laughed out loud at "Bernie Harris, the Scarlet Pimpernel of Splot."
