Joel Hodgson and Trace Beaulieu join a cast of relative newcomers in a show that's kind of like the skits from of Mystery Science Theater 3000, or Nick Frost's Hyperdrive, or Red Dwarf. Needless to say, if you don't like those shows, you won't like this. But if you do, you got yourself a new favorite!
Besides MST3K alumni, Karan Soni as Stewart--an insecure, yet surprisingly competent, rookie captain--makes for a great lead. And a guest appearance by (spoiler) Dave Franco (/spoiler) brought out some good laughs early in the season. The rest of the cast is decent too and, by season's end, they all started to feel a little more three- dimensional and unique.
Why is this thing not blowing up? It's not a laugh a minute, but it's solidly amusing.
