On the morning of her sixteenth birthday, Judy Reilly awakens to discover that there is a giant talking blood clot underneath her bedsheets. After appropriately freaking out about this turn of events, she learns from her mother that she's "96% sure" that her daughter's estranged father was an extraterrestrial. Oh, and that they should probably give chase to that weird abomination that just jumped out the bedroom window and started devouring the residents of the town.Created by Diana McCorry for the oft-overlooked video service Facebook Watch, Human Kind Of is an Annie Award-nominated Science Fiction comedy that follows Judy Reilly, a nerdy teenager who discovers that she's actually a Half-Human Hybrid with a wide array of special abilities, most notably voluntary shapeshifting. With the help of dangerously upbeat mother, Iris, comic book-obsessed best friend, Cory, and a few allies hiding in the shadows, Judy may just manage to make her way through the minefield that is adolescence, learn to control all her powers, and inevitably discover what makes her both alien and human along the way.The series aired its single season from September 16 to October 28, 2018 and can be viewed here.

Formula-Breaking Episode
 Human Kind Of (Web Animation) / int_670db7d7
comment
Formula-Breaking Episode: The episode "The Core" is done in a comic book-style, as it follows Cory deciding to go to school dressed up as a supervillain a few days after an argument with Judy. Most of the episode is a series of imagine spots where Cory is performing some amazing feat of villainy, only to cut to a more embarrassing reality, such as her desperately chasing the school bus or throwing pencils at a teacher.

Half-Human Hybrid: Judy. She finds out in the first episode, to her great shock, but later ones have Iris regularly bring out a photo album that has pictures of her daughter in her birth form (a green tentacled monster) and toddler photos where she showcases traits such as multiple rows of fangs. Guess Judy never bothered opening it.

She's promptly corrected and told that it's more like Nebraska; seen as so unremarkable that it's the best place to hide out.

Insignificant Little Blue Planet: Earth, naturally. Many of the aliens that reside on the planet actually dislike it to some degree, only staying because the planet is so unremarkable that it serves as a great hiding place if you've committed any felonies. The penultimate episode of season one has Judy gathering evidence to show the United Planets that the Earth isn't this trope so it can join the organization, only to learn that she was being tricked into making a sales pitch to sell it on the black market.
