The Boy from Andromeda is a 1991 New Zealand children's sci-fi television series.
Three kids discover a young boy from Andromeda, the only survivor of a spaceship crash.
The Ottawa Citizen's Tony Atherton states "The aliens look and sound like extras on a Dr. Who set, but the special effects are well-used and the story skips along briskly most of the time."
[1] Bonnie Malleck in the Waterloo Region Record writes "words and character development take a back seat to action, special effects (albeit low-budget ones) and plenty of thrills.
"[2] Sid Adilman of The Toronto Star said "The New Zealand accents are a slight problem for North American ears; not all of the special effects work as well as intended and the story of an alien youngster far from home and unable to get back is not exactly unexplored territory".
