Strange Planet

Based on Nathan W. Pyle’s viral webcomic, Strange Planet offered a clinical yet deeply empathetic look at the human experience through the eyes of blue beings. By stripping away familiar idioms and replacing them with literal descriptions—like 'foot coverings' or 'mouth stones'—the series forced viewers to re-examine the absurdity of daily life. While its tenure on Apple TV+ was brief, the show established a distinct legacy as a gentle subversion of adult animation. It avoided cynical tropes, choosing instead to celebrate the awkward beauty of existence. Its cultural footprint remains visible in how we describe our own 'sensory experiences' today. Given the enduring popularity of the source material, you should set a digital reminder for future announcements regarding potential revivals or new explorations of this universe.
