Final Space meets Star Trek. No really belly laughs, but it's a lot of lighthearted fun with endearing characters.

Shows about the unexplained have been a dime-a-dozen. But this incarnation delivers the facts with just enough fluff to make it interesting, without crossing the line into hyperbole and sensationalism. Often the segments feel TOO short and that it moved on TOO quickly. Laudable restraint by the producers/directors.

Even Shatner is restrained. Another reviewer describes his performance as "tired". I find him wonderfully low-key, which is a refreshing departure from the type of hype typical hosts try to inject into topics that, while interesting, aren't really as jaw-dropping as they pretend them to be. "Tired"? I can only wish I'll be as "tired" at 88.

At the end of the day, would I watch more? You bet! Keep 'em coming.
