This show seems to suffer from the same problems "Parks and Rec" suffered from in its first episode. focusing on an incompetent main character, and their interaction with supporting characters (whom seem more like caricatures). Just like Parks and Rec, though, near the end it finally balances out, and I finally got attached to the characters and subplots.
Joel and Trace from MST3K are mostly bit characters, but their chemistry has not waned. Karan Soni and Bess Rous take a few episodes to nail down their interactions though. In the beginning, their sibling rivalry seems very heavy handed, but at the end of the season it feels much more organic. Neil Casey and Conor Leslie handle their not-quite-human roles very well, without being too over the top. Eugene Cordero plays a rather paradoxical character, one who is at one end very competent, and on the other a bootlicker. Either way, I enjoyed his performance. Lastly, Milana Vayntrub's ditzy character moves from annoying to likable once her boyfriend breaks up with her by space phone.
There is a twist ending at the end of the series that makes me want to see what happens next. Hopefully, this show doesn't end up being swept under the rug because its not community. Here's hoping.
