Human Kind Of (2018)
When Judy Reilly, a nerdy teenager, finds out her estranged father was an extraterrestrial, surviving a half-alien adolescence seems pretty hopeless. But with the help of a dangerously upbeat mother and a comic book obsessed best friend, Judy is able to uncover her powers, stand up to bullies, and inevitably discover what makes her both alien and human along the way.

Season 1:
Judy Reilly wakes up on her 16th birthday to find that her period has become a gigantic sentient monster that can say her name. This is perfectly normal and fine.
Cory responds to discovering her best friend is half alien the only way she knows how - by trying to dismember Judy for profit.
Judy's alien powers make her suspiciously good at volleyball, which begs the question - is there volleyball in space? This question will not be answered in this episode, or in this season, or at all, ever. We will never, ever know.
On the morning of the Halloween dance, Judy wakes up to find she has transformed into a full-fledged alien beast. It's fine. It's not like she wanted to look pretty or anything. This is perfect, actually. Thank you Universe.
Is it normal to fantasize about literally biting your crush's head off and eating it? Asking for a friend.
What laws of physics? Judy sneezes herself into the future and there's a monster and a spaceship and a super hot guy with an eye patch and she gets to wear a tiara!
To use telepathy to blackmail your homeroom bully, or to not use telepathy to blackmail your homeroom bully...that is the question.
Oh, like you wouldn't shapeshift into a more popular person if you could. Please.
We interrupt these boring Judy-inspired episode descriptions to bring you something way cooler and better: THE CORE!
Mr. Russo didn't show up to class today, and according to the transitive property of best friendshipdom, that gives Judy and Cory probable cause to search his apartment.
Can an anonymous government agent convince a bored teenager to undergo a series of mysterious experiments for the sake of scientific progress? I mean probably, yeah.
You know what's fun? Thinking you're going to be an alien diplomat, and then instead working at a diner where all the kids who make fun of you can go to make fun of you and you can't leave!
Judy gets internet famous, Iris considers poisoning the town's water supply, and everyone gets together for a good old-fashioned government conspiracy.
Judy and Cory throw an enormous house party while Iris is out of town, complete with human teenagers, alien drugs and something disgusting happening in the bathroom.
After a brief but bizarre interaction with a group of aliens at her party, Judy starts to feel funny. When her symptoms worsen the next day, the school nurse tells her she appears to be pregnant. Fortunately, Mr. Russo knows about a secret clinic for aliens living on Earth...
When Melissa and her friends catch Iris and Russo making out in the parking lot, Judy is so mortified that she literally turns invisible. She flees the school and hides in Iris’s car, inadvertently becoming a fly on the wall for the rest of Iris’s day.
There's nothing quite like buying your daughter's high school and becoming her principal to make up for a lifetime of neglect.
