Disturbing yet enthralling

A Brilliant Conflict

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

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.

I came for Joel Hodgson, being a long time MST3k fan and I stayed because IT'S AMAZING.I've watched the first season at least 10 times. I've put thought into which character is my favorite, I can't choose. They're all great. They all have their moments. It's hot dog time! What does the default penis look like? Alright, alright, alright! Natasha as a spider monster... Karen and her growl, Tina and that stupid Swedish boyfriend, and of course Zalian and Art.Each episode is great as a stand alone, the series is great in its entirety. If you have not watched it, you probably should.

I love this show. The performances are great all around, it's smartly written, the characters are all awesome. It's hard to point at a standout because they're all so good (Kent or Karen, maybe?).Unfortunately the first episode was the weakest of the bunch, with some awful crude humor, so I think it left a bad impression on some people. But if you didn't like that episode, at least watch all of episode 2.And for a web series, it looks surprisingly nice. The costumes, space/ship CGI, and sets are all pretty good.I hope this gets renewed for a second season. It'd be a mistake not to. I'm positive the audience will grow by word of mouth.

Overall, I'd have to say I enjoyed this. It's definitely not a serious show at all. There are a few editing mistakes where plot from one episode doesn't seem to carry over to others, but I went into it not expecting much and I got hooked. I watched it all within a week. It's light, has some good comedic moments. There are quite a few twists and turns in many of the episodes. I wouldn't say I had a lot of laugh out loud moments throughout, but there were a few. Many of the amusing situations made me smile a bit though. Lots of negative reviews, but I think they are wrong. The captain, Karan Soni, plays a somewhat incompetent, yet competent leader of the ship and his sister, plays a jealous, uptight and serious second in command. There is a robot on the ship (ART) a la mystery science theater 3000 (which I loved) and many of the comedic moments come through the robot. It's obviously outlandish but I think if you like Mystery Science Theater 3000, space shows, and can suspend belief for the sake of amusement, you will probably like this show.
