I feel the show is finally hitting it's stride, all of the characters have been given backstories to flesh them out. It's interesting how much Graham resembles Wilf, that's a good thing, Wilf was great. It's also cool how they are telling the same stories, good vs. evil, but using actual historical events as the setting.

I dont think I've noticed similarities between Wilf and Graham...wilf believed aliens existed already where Graham was still apprehensive for a couple episodes
I think they are very similar characters in terms of driving the plot forward: they have their cliques that they use for information (Wilf used the seniors to help track down Tenants doctor, just like Graham used the bus drivers to find "Tim Shaw"). Both characters are also looking for approval from their family: Donna didn't seem to care what Wilf had to say initially in regards to aliens (until he was proven right), and we see that Ryan doesn't seem to listen to Graham, despite him being the closest family he has.
