if we were beings that resemble blue light bulbs (with eyes and a mouth) and we spoke in a pared-down, generic everyday language (“mild poison” for alcohol, “group roll machine” for a shuttle bus, “jitter juice” for coffee).Welcome to the pink-and-blue-hued world of “Strange Planet,” a quirky parallel universe of sorts where, save for three-eyed birds and dogs, everything is relatable to what we consider normal, everyday problems and issues here on Earth — including interpersonal relationships and emotions.The animated Apple TV+ series, premiering Aug. 9, is based on Nathan W.

What if you went every day saying the inside things you’re not supposed to say out loud? That’s kinda what it’s like to exist in “Strange Planet.” As seen in the trailer for “Strange Planet,” the new Apple TV+ adult animated series takes place in a world very similar to our own but filled with blue alien-looking beings instead of humans.
