Human Kind Of

Human Kind Of begins when "Judy Reilly, a nerdy teenager, finds out her estranged father was an extraterrestrial" and realizes "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." ==Cast and characters==

Bubble Blabber praised the series for its mature content, including supernatural themes, character designs, and animation, while questioning its episode times and the release schedule, but calling it "kind of brilliant."
