1988
A few years from now| Earth will have the first contact with an alien civilisation. These aliens| known as Newcomers| slowly begin to be integrated into human
society after years of quarantine but are victims of a new type of discrimination. When the first Newcomer police officer| Sam Francisco is assigned his new partner|
he is given Matthew Sykes | a mildly racist veteran| the animosity between them soon gives way to respect as they investigate the Newcomer underworld| and especially
Newcomer leader William Harcourt.
 Alien Nation takes the interesting premise of extraterrestrials living among us and doesn't do enough with it, emphasizing a police procedural plotline over the more
intriguing sci-fi elements.
