Final Space

What starts as just another goofball cartoon along the lines of Futurerama becomes a brilliantly witty and cleverly pungent masterwork, that in my opinion even holds it's ground against the likes of Rick and Morty, but with far more heart.

When Final Space first debuted on TBS it was literally the only thing of Value on the entire channel. It was funny, dramatic, knew when to be subtle, knew when to be heavy, and it was amazing. It became so good that the people behind it decided to air it on two channels. Those channels being TBS and Cartoon Network's Adult Swim. The Second season was even better than the first. Unfortunately, the third season wasn't as funny and focused a little too heavily on drama. The third season wasn't bad by any definition, but it was enough to make the unintelligent people in charge of Warner Brothers decide to cancel it to make room in the budget for the disaster known as Velma. This show needs a comeback and have it's originally planned six seasons.

In short, the show is great, the animations are very creative and colorful, it has many elements of Olan Roger's previous show and also a lot of references, (btw I believe the episodes are still on youtube). Although it is a Sci-fi show, and it does delve into existential questions, so, naturally a lot of people may think it is like Rick and Morty, there are a lot of comparisons online, but they're to different shows, very different. There are some really respectable choices Olan makes in the story, and the characters are really engaging, unfortunately there are only a few episodes, but, there may be a 2nd season. Anyway, I highly recommend it.

It takes a little while to get into. The first season feels like they are trying to find their footing. But once they get going the story telling is really great. Gets the perfect balance of funny and emotional. Very easy watching. Really sad it's been cancelled, I hope someone picks it up and gives the show the ending it deserves.

Love this tv show, it's sad that it ended. Great story, characters. Intros in the first season were a great idea, a depressing start into a fun adventure.
