After an alien slave ship crash-lands in the Mohave Desert carrying a quarter-million beings bred for hard labor and adaptability, the citizens of Earth welcome these ‘Newcomers’ and attempt to assimilate them into the human population. It stars Eric Pierpoint (“Enterprise”), an assimilated ‘Newcomer’ and Gary Graham (“Supernatural”), his bigoted human partner, as LAPD cops investigating a narcotics conspiracy in LA’s extraterrestrial subculture. Featuring the entire 21-episode first season, the six-disc
“Alien Nation” DVD box set boasts behind-the-scenes footage and the two-part 1989 television movie that launched the series with commentary from director and co-creator Kenneth Johnson (“The Incredible Hulk,” “The Bionic Woman”).
As Newcomers -- fugitive slaves from the planet Tencton -- Detective George Francisco and his family face prejudice and intolerance as they struggle to assimilate to life on their adopted planet. Together with his human partner, hard-edged Detective Matt Sikes, George walks the beat in Slagtown,
Los Angeles, a Newcomer slum teeming with vice and corruption. More than just another cop show or science fiction show, Alien Nation utilizes a unique and exciting blend of action, suspense, humor, and social drama to explore the sociology of what it means to be an outsider striving to fit in.
