Other Space

Enjoyable and rewatch-able. I enjoyed all of the characters very much. Especially Kent (Neil Casey) and Tina (Milana Vayntrub). It is really great to see Joel Hodgson in there. Is he playing his MST3K character as it would be far in the future?

Some of the scenes I just had to keep rewinding they were so good. I liked Ken't video plea to the aliens.

I hope they succeed in convincing somebody else to pick this one up since their creators (Yahoo Screen) failed and took it down with them.

The reviewers who claim this is boring and not at all funny apparently don't understand that its sort of the point. This is farce. It is not belly-laughing, joke-telling, and gag pulling. It's a crappy SciFi series. That's the joke. Having said that, the ensemble doesn't really kick in until towards the end of the second episode, and of course, when Joel Hodgson and Trace Beaulieu start having scenes together, that's instant ensemble and instant comedy--some serious laughs are in there, trust me. And some good character development and quirky plot twists. I can't give examples or I'll be banned and heavily fined. When I rated this, I penalized the first episode which was a rather perfunctory exposition on the characters and premise. It's the part of the disaster movie where you're forced to welcome and identify with a bunch of characters who are going to get blown up later on, so you really want to hit FF and get to the explosions. But it serves a purpose, so I guess it had to be there.

I'm shocked and appalled at the negative reviews of this great new show. Admittedly Episode 1 was the weakest episode, so maybe those reviews are from people who didn't continue watching. I made the same mistake with Game Of Thrones. Thankfully friends forced me to continue watching. I encourage people to do the same with this show and stick with it. It gets better fast.

Overall a clever sci fi parody with great comic performances from the entire cast. And the dialogue is hilarious, Community-esque.

This series is to science fiction what What We Do In The Shadows is to vampire movies. For those of you who are familiar with that movie.

I watched this without reading any reviews first. I came to IMDb to check out the actor's profiles. After reading some of the negative comments, I felt I should awake out of hibernation to add my take. This show hit the spot for me. This is super light and enjoyable fluff, and should only be taken as such. It is screwball irony. The self-deprecating style of the characters is intentional, and I could see how this would be construed as bad acting. In short, I found it fun and want to see more. I hope they make a few seasons of this show -- slowly becoming more and more ridiculous as they go along. It's refreshing to see an American show that doesn't take itself so seriously.

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.
