When Liz Ortecho reluctantly returns to her tourist-trap hometown of Roswell, New Mexico, she reconnects with Max Evans, her teenage crush, who is now a Roswell police officer. But Liz soon discovers a shocking truth: Max is an alien who has kept his unearthly abilities hidden his entire life, along with those of his otherworldly sister, Isobel, and their friend Michael. Elsewhere, Master Sergeant Jesse Manes spearheads a long-standing government conspiracy — unbeknownst to his son, Alex Manes, who has recently returned from service overseas with emotional and physical injuries. The politics of fear and hatred that run rampant in Roswell threaten to expose Max and his family and could endanger his deepening romance with Liz…as well as their lives.
We all love a good sitcom, but what if we added a twist of science fiction to it? This is exactly what you get with '3rd Rock from the Sun', a hilarious TV series that explores life on Earth through the eyes of extraterrestrial beings. The show combines comedy, family dynamics, and sci-fi in a distinctive blend that offers plenty of laughter and amusement.
Created by Bonnie Turner and Terry Turner, '3rd Rock from the Sun' follows four aliens who pose as an ordinary human family in Rutherford, Ohio. These extraterrestrials are on an expedition to observe human behavior and society. Led by John Lithgow's character, Dick Solomon (who you may recognize from 'The Crown' or 'Dexter'), they attempt to navigate human customs and norms often leading to comedic confusion.
The cast also features prominent stars such as Kristen Johnston (Sally Solomon), French Stewart (Harry Solomon), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Tommy Solomon), Jane Curtin (Mary Albright) among others. Each brings their own charm and talent to their roles making their characters unforgettable. Their comedic timing combined with their character's alien innocence makes each episode entertaining and worth watching.
