OK i managed to get through 3 episodes of this unfunny drivel without laughing once, then i switched off and threw it back where i found it. Why is America so bad at making sci-fi comedies? Seriously why don't they take a look at the UK's BBC's sci-fi comedies first before they even think about attempting to try make one on their own. The only reason i actually managed to get through 3 episodes was because of Natasha (Conor Leslie) who is an absolute babe and a half. In the end even she could not hold my interest in this unfunny crap. That is two new comedy Sci-fi shows America has released lately..this crap and Orville, i hoped other space might have been more watchable than the unfunny Orville but WOW was i wrong. The only reason i have given a star rating of 2 of 10 is thanks to Conor Leslie.If you are a Brit and think it would be an idea to see America's idea of sci-fi comedy shows then be warned it is no Red Dwarf or Hyperdrive, my advice stay well clear of this total unfunny crap.
... View MoreUnconventional show with surprises around every corner. All the characters add to the whole in their own way with brilliant performances, with a humor like a bouncy ball wildly thrown into a room.I applaud the creator for reminding us that great story and acting makes the viewer happily disregard the lack of brand new CGI common to all recent space adventures.Haven't been so disappointed by a show cancellation since My Name Is Earl! I hope we get to see the crew again!
... View MoreThis show kind of reminds me of an old British series called Red Dwarf, we are in deep outer space, well actually as the title of the show suggest other space, we are there with a bunch of strange familiar characters, familiar in the way that everyone more or less know each other or at least of each other.The small inexperienced crew end up in another space then what we know off, and should now try to figure out how to survive, explore this space, maybe get help and most importantly how to get back. They encounter a lot of different things in this first season, but it is as if it's just a parody of a lot seen before, doesn't take it self all that serious and that's what makes in funny at times. But for a comedy series, this is not good enough to entertain me in the long run, there are good things and good characters, but they can't hold up the relatively thin storyline.
... View MoreI truly hope Yahoo! brings this back for a second season. I had seen an ad for the show, then I saw the series online, and I was basically doing nothing, I figured, "Why not? I'll catch a few minutes." That few minutes turned into the entire season in a binge watch. It's kinda funny realizing that at least 2 members of the cast were regular characters on the ATT commercials. The show is really fun, and the writers have done a very decent job with the dialogue. I'd have no problem stating I'd put this higher than most of the stuff on network TV. The basic premise is a bunch of misfits wind up exploring a completely different universe while trying to find a way home. The captain is a bit over- enthusiastic and naive about things going on around him. The first officer is the captain's older sister, and everyone except the captain either hates her or is afraid of her or both. The navigator is a girl the captain has a crush on and has basically no other reason to be there as she is not a very good navigator. The third in command (who should have been second until the powers that be decided they were too afraid of the captain's big sister to keep her around) is the captain's best friend from childhood, and most folks don't even realize he is there. Rounding out the rest is the Admiral's son that was conceived to be a body parts mill for his older brother, and spent the 20 years of his life in a water tank, the ship's engineer that definitely had a bit too much radiation, drugs or some intense combination of the two, the ship's computer, the former AI from a casino, and the ship's robot, a former pension fund robber that is trying to keep himself alive inside the brain of the robot.The show is quirky, but definitely fun. I really hope Yahoo! brings it back. I have really enjoyed it.
