Alien Nation is a 1989 sci‑fi police drama set in a near‑future Los Angeles where humans coexist with a race of alien refugees known as Newcomers. The story follows Detective Matthew Sikes, a hardened human cop, who reluctantly partners with George Francisco, the first Newcomer detective assigned to the LAPD. Together, they investigate crimes that blend human corruption with alien culture, biology, and prejudice. The show mixes science fiction, social commentary, and buddy‑cop storytelling, using the Newcomers as a metaphor for real‑world issues like racism, immigration, and discrimination. Despite lasting only one season, Alien Nation became a cult classic thanks to its world‑building, character depth, and grounded approach to sci‑fi drama.
