Channel 9 started playing Resident Alien on 9go last week, and I have been watching it... and it is indeed a funny, but dark comedy.
I didn't really buy the kid (Max) suddenly not being afraid of the Alien in the 3rd episode, without a more believable lead-up to the change of character... like, having the Alien eventually realising that he is unable to kill a kid (as he starts developing feelings for the humans in later episodes) so continued to bluff threats at the kid (until Max realises it's just a bluff and then has the courage to stand up to the Alien and try to prove he is an Alien). Unfortunately, the short season required Max to find courage really early, as he plays a part in uncovering the Alien's true form (Max is the only person who doesn't see the "holographic" disguise of a human that the Alien is using).

They are playing 3 episodes a week, which will go through the first season of 10 episodes quite fast.
Good news for some is that there is a second season, which just started this week in America... but will probably end up on 9Now, and regular tv in a year's time.
