But to do that, Harry will have to outwit the one child in town who can see through his disguise and outrun the secret government agents hunting for him.

The first show in years that I've found makes me laugh out loud at least once every episode, usually more. The humour is really well done, Alan Tudyk plays the main part so well. It's also full of generally good performances from the rest of the main cast with a pretty basic overall storyline. I really enjoyed this more than I expected and hope they have more seasons planned for the future. Definitely worth a watch.

A genuinely funny show, the first to make me laugh hard for a while. I can't wait for season 2 and hopefully more.
