A surprisingly funny show that I'd never heard of until recently. I can see why it didn't catch on though. The concept of alien bugs taking over American politics is a funny enough concept but they make it a bit more complicated than it needed to be. Plus it came out at the wrong time. American politics changed a lot around when the show came out and in many ways what is presented in the show seems oddly tame today. It's a nice bit of nostalgia though from a simpler time. There's a few really laugh out loud moments too. Tony Shalhoub steals the show. Definitely worth a watch.
