Moonbase 8

In the beginning, before I watched an episode, I was a tad confused what this new series was about. A documentary about NASA simulation moonbases in the Arizona? A Science Fiction drama set in the future? A Big Brother reality? The lack of marketing didn't help. If don't take Moonbase 8 serious, and enjoy the ride of chaotic situations faced by the three remaining space wannabes, it is actually fascinatingly humorous. Imagine putting three comedians as diverse eccentric-scripted characters inside a locked room and record what happens and that is Moonbase 8.

Fred Armisen is his usual silly, awkward yet biting self in this premium cable show. The NASA moonbase backdrop is just another vehicle for quirky deadpan interactions among veteran comedic actors and their guests. While this may not be the funniest show out there, the topic is light and fun and ends on the right note after 6 episodes. I also found it delightful to see Adam Lambert take a stab at some acting, and he did a good job.

I went in being a big fan of all three main actors and got exactly what I thought I'd get; a well written and acted, funny, relatable comedy. It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea but I love the interaction sand chemistry between the main three. It's evident that they are/were friends off set.

I can understand that those who go in blind might not like it. But if you're familiar with Tim Heidecker & John C. I think you'll enjoy it.

To those who aren't maybe skip episode one and start on ep 2. One was the weakest in my personal opinion.

I've been waiting for Moonbase 8 for a long long time, I'm a fan of Fred, Tim and Johns comedy, so unlike some other reviewers of this show, I wasn't surprised about what this show turned out to be.

I found this show to be very well made and pretty funny. Yes it is different to other comedies but that does NOT mean that is bad

Check it out.
