Avenue 5

I enjoyed it. I like Hugh Laurie in a less serious role.

The time delays and gravity problems were kinda funny.

In a comedy i think Jared from Silicon Valley is hilarious.

I haven’t watched it yet but I’m trying to understand how the plot is supposed to last long term

I won’t go so far as saying it was awful, but I was disappointed. Sci fi comedies are tough, but I had hoped the Veep crew could pull it off. Didn't come close unfortunately. Cool setting and one or two laughs aside, it was very blah. And I agree with the poster who noted the trash editing. There were a couple shots and transitions that were film school bad. Going to have to see a massive improvement to continue watching long term.

Spoilers...






I didn’t buy that but at all. There’s exactly a 0% chance that any sort of space voyage like that wouldn’t build in course correcting thrusters for some sort of emergency.

I mean, I get that a small course deviation could cause massive change in trajectory off a catapult around a moon. But come on, surely a space craft THAT advanced would have trustees capable of adjusting course 0.2 degrees over the course of the 3 hours they had before reaching titan.

Might be nit picking, but for a sci-fi show, that just struck me as a completely illogical primary challenge.

I like the premise.

From the trailer I was expecting it to be awful. It was better than my low expectations so I will continue to watch.

Jared had a few good lines. They know exactly how to use him.

I think you were nit picking.

I viewed it as a lost ocean cruise ship thing but in space comedy rather than a space science comedy. Kinda like the tbs show wrecked, but in space.

They’re still humans the crew is riddled with unfortunate-for-their-position/job character flaws. The compounds seem like their junk anyway, everyone knows Hugh from a disaster in another.

I agree, I probably am. I was just hopeful that this would be a true sci fi comedy, since those are so very very rare. But I agree with your assessment; the show appears to be more of a comedy in a sci fi setting than a sci fi comedy, so I suppose they won’t be meticulous with the plot beyond just being adrift in space. Which isn’t a deal breaker, but it does lessen my enthusiasm for the show a bit.

Laughed a few times, I'll give it a couple episodes.

Nope I’m there with you
