Today, let's talk about the American drama "Alien Refugees Season 1".

Title Solar Opposites Season 1 (2020), alias Солнечные противоположности.

The Alien Refugees project was originally created for Fox Broadcasting, but was shelved and licensed to the Hulu platform.

Hulu also proudly booked a total of 16 episodes for two seasons.

The first season of which premiered on Hulu on May 8, 2020.

"Alien Refugees" takes the form of a unit drama. At the beginning of each episode, it will introduce the reasons why these unfortunate people came to the earth.

This group of aliens originally inhabited a perfect utopian planet, Shlop, but unfortunately the asteroid impact caused the destruction of Shlop.

The Shropians fled, and the four aliens who came to Earth were named Korvo, Terry, Yumyulack, and Jesse. They also carried a large yellow worm named Pupa.

Shrop's job is to repair their spaceship and raise it up. It is said that when Pupu becomes an adult, he will be able to occupy the earth and restore Shrop to its former glory.

"Solar Opposites" literally means "the opposite of the sun".

In the past, the aliens who were able to travel to the earth through interstellar travel represented the level of advanced technology, and they were all crushing the earth.

This drama is an anti-tradition, the aliens who come to earth are actually refugees to avoid the explosion of the planet. Just like "Supporting God" written by Da Liu, it is superior to human beings, but it also seeks the people of the earth. This kind of contradiction is very interesting.

Coupled with their alien identities, they come from higher civilizations and cannot understand all the strange status quo on the earth, so they will make many jokes.

The show and "Rick and Morty" are the same production team, so there will be a lot of overlap in character settings, and even some "Rick and Morty" characters also appear in this show.

Corvo and Terry can be seen as a recombination of Rick and Morty, and Jamlek and Jesse can also be seen as a recombination of a daughter and a son-in-law, and the roles of the two bear children have been increased.

Corvo is a tech house, with Rick's high IQ and some Morty's cautiousness, while Terry absorbed the rest of Rick's unreliable parts, and with Morty's version of ignorance, the two still To keep ranting about each other.

Yamlek is bitter and mean and has no friends, and at the same time wants to be recognized by others; Jesse has an endless girlish heart and wants to be friends with others. They each have a part of their character traits from their daughter and son-in-law.

In terms of satirizing the status quo of social strangeness, "Alien Refugees" made a bitter complaint about the things we are accustomed to through the perspective of aliens.

Friendship, neighborhood relationships, magic, emotion management, education, feminism, patriarchy, love, power, and affection are all objects of their irony. We don't find it strange to be caught up in these relationships, to think outside the human mind and see how ridiculous human life is from an outsider's point of view.

Rick and Morty is small in scale and extremely restrained in its erotic violence. And "Alien Refugees" is different. It completely frees itself, blood and bones are not shy, and the love scene is even more daring and presumptuous.

Think of the show as a heavy-handed version of Rick and Morty.

"Alien Refugees" is also similar to "Rick and Morty", full of details and tribute elements everywhere.

For example, Terry protested the lack of creativity of the travel installation in "Untouchable Lovers" (The Lake House, 2006). In fact, this film is a remake of the Korean film "Untouchable Lovers" (Siworae, 2000).

For example, the school's sign reads: "Tonight's 'Waiting for Gal Godot' show cancelled due to lawsuit."

The "bells" chords of the Back to the Future films can often be heard in the play.

The pie tin speech, for example, is an homage to a series of episodes in The Revenge of the Nerds (1984).

With the technological level of this group of aliens, there is no problem at all if they want to live a good life. But what they are burdened with is the rebirth of the entire planet, and puff is the key to the key.

Pupu has shown some of its abilities in the first season, and its adult power will definitely be extraordinary in the future.

How the story develops will have to wait for the second season.

The first season of "Alien Refugees" is very short with only 8 episodes, and "Rick and Morty" is also very short. While you are waiting for "Rick and Morty", you may wish to watch this drama as a supplement.

Solar Opposites quotes

  • Korvo: [Opening Narration] Planet Shlorp was a perfect utopia. Until the asteroid hit. One hundred adults and their replicants were issued a Pupa and escaped into, uh, the space, searching for new homes on uninhabited worlds. We crashed on Earth, stranding us on an already overpopulated planet. That's right, I've been talking this whole time. I'm the one holding the Pupa. My name's Korvo. This is... this is my show. I just dropped the Pupa. Do you see me? This is ridiculous. I hate Earth. It's a horrible home. People are stupid.
