A few thoughts on Obsidian
Smallville hits the exact note: a small town, a teenage alien hiding what he can do, and a romance complicated by his secret. Beyond the pool, Roswell, New Mexico runs the same setup of a human girl and an alien boy circling each other while a hidden war closes in.
Aliens hiding in plain sight in a small American town
Obsidian's Daemon is an alien passing as an ordinary boy next door, and this whole cluster runs on that same premise. Smallville and Roswell, New Mexico both hide real power behind small-town normalcy; I Am Number Four and Supergirl do the same thing on a bigger scale; Teen Wolf and Disclosure Day both build a plot around a secret hiding in your own backyard.
Sci-fi soundscapes for a world where nothing is what it seems
Obsidian buries an alien war under small-town banter, and this playlist carries that same paranoid, larger-than-life charge. Muse's Simulation Theory and Black Holes and Revelations both run on UFO conspiracy and cosmic dread; Ayreon's Universal Migrator, Part 2 turns interstellar exile into a full space opera; Deltron 3030 scores a future where the fight is bigger than anyone on the ground realizes.
