History WesternAnimation / SolarOpposites

One day, the utopian planet Shlorp was destroyed by an asteroid. Before this, 100 adult Shlorpians and their "replicants" were given living supercomputers called Pupae and escaped into space searching for uninhabited worlds to take refuge. One group (consisting of Korvo, Terry, Jesse, and Yumyulack) lands, of course, on Earth in a suburban area somewhere in America. After settling in, they disagree on whether this is awful or awesome while trying to outwardly fit in as your regular garden-variety nuclear family.

* ArcVillain: The Wall has one antagonist per season; [[EvilOverlord The Duke]] for season one, [[SerialKiller Ethan]] for season two and [[spoiler:[[TheBeastmaster Steven]]]] for season three.

* LawOfInverseFertility: Cherie unintentionally becomes pregnant after having sex with Tim, which is quite distressing given that [[spoiler:Tim betrayed her, attempting to kill her before leaving her to die in the backyard]], though she does end up becoming a MamaBear. By contrast, Nova and Halk actively try to conceive a child, with Nova hoping they'll have the first baby born in the Wall (as she, like most of the Wall, is unaware of Cherie's own daughter at the time). [[spoiler:This never comes to fruition as Halk dies before they can start a family.]]

** There is one episode that focuses exclusively on the events of the Wall instead of the aliens, which also serves as a kind of season finale for the subplot with the actual season finale airing right after it.

* TrailersAlwaysSpoil: Multiple Season 3 trailers showed [[spoiler:Nova meeting Jesse]], which is the conclusion of her Season 3 arc and one of the last scenes of the Wall subplot.

* DiscountLesbians: Korvo and Terry’s relationship is from first glance that of a gay couple but it was explained that as shlorpians they technically have no gender and that they choose their genders they want to be perceived as in their lives.

* HideYourLesbians: Zig-zagged. In the first two seasons, the show always dances around the nature of Korvo and Terry’s relationship. The two bicker like a couple, own a house with kids, share a bed, and even kissed in one episode. Their relationship with touched upon in a couple of episodes including the season 1 finale. In addition both Korvo and Terry were revealed to be bisexual but their sexualities were revealed outside of their relationship due to inviting other partners into bed with them. Season 3 goes all in, with the pair explicitly acknowledging that they're a romantic couple.

* OnceASeason: There is one episode that focusses exclusively on the events of the Wall instead of the aliens, which also serves as a kind of season finale for the subplot with the actual season finale airing right after it.

** Despite the title, "Terry and Korvo Steal a Bear" is actually about the people living in the Wall, and how they are planning to take down The Duke once and for all.

As the case was with the Creator/AdultSwim show ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', it was announced by Hulu in 2023 that Justin Roiland will not be involved with the show for season four and onward in light of his abuse allegations and that someone else will be voicing Korvo.

* EverythingsBetterWithDinosaurs: Of the 100 Shlorpian crews sent out to find a new homeworld, approximately forty were eaten by ''T. rexes''. Another crew was eaten by a ''Stegosaurus.'' Another was killed by a giant, flightless bird that Yumyulack angrily points out is basically just a ''T. rex.''

* AnyoneCanDie: The Wall arc has a habit of killing off major (and minor) recurring characters, in hilarious (and sometimes gruesome) ways, with Pedro, Enrique, Ethan, The Duke, [[spoiler:Steven and Halk]] all [[KilledOffForReal confirmed dead]] by the end of its third season.

A second eight-episode season was released on March 26, 2021, with a Christmas special being released in November of the same year. The show was also renewed for a twelve-episode third season in June 2020.

** [[spoiler: The ending of episode 7 gives a lesson about rebellions; when The Duke is finally overthrown, Tim betrays Cherie so he can become the next leader. This shows how rebellions can just as easily install new dictators when it lacks an end goal or a plan to create a long-lasting diplomatic structure. Stephen's character arc also shows how anyone can become a soldier of a tyrant if they suffer enough tragedies without the means of processing those tragedies healthily. The soldiers of a tyrant aren't born evil or just suddenly decide to do evil for the rest of their lives, they can just be regular people who are suffering the same thing as you.]]

*** Anyone can be sexist without realising; Korvo and Terry didn't know or understand what a man cave is and were just following a trend. While Jesse was just looking for something patriarchal to fight against because she was trying to finish an assignment that had expectations that were too high for her to complete.

** ''The Rad Awesome Terrific Ray'': Korvo provides one in the ending monologue of the episode, "Not every media product or TV show needs to provide a lesson of some kind, a show can just be a show."

* OutOfFocus: Despite the title, "Terry and Korvo Steal a Bear" is actually about the people living in the Wall, and how they are planning to take down The Duke once and for all.

** ComicBook/{{Superman}} somehow wound up killing one of the 100 Shlorpian crews sent to search for new worlds. Aisha points out that, [[OurLawyersAdvisedThisTrope due to legal reasons, they can't actually show what happened]].

* SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale: [[spoiler:It takes 3 months for Cherie to traverse a backyard as a shrunken person. Doing so would take several hours at most.]] It also doesn't help that the size of the shrunken people [[YourSizeMayVary changes routinely]] from being a few inches to smaller than a pez. Highlighted in Season 3 when in the space of a few episodes the Bowinian nuns present Cherie with a suit of armor whose chest piece is made out of a corner, only for her to be shown as tiny in comparison to [[spoiler: mosquitoes]].
