Final Space

What starts out as a silly comedy about a prisoner who is a bit of a weirdo grows over time into a pretty well-produced heroic space odyssey. It features some pretty interesting characters, and an entertaining and narrative full of suspense, that easily keeps you glued to the screen for the entire first season. The pacing is quite slow at first, packed with a ton of jokes, even though only some are actually funny. However, as it starts to get more serious, it gets better and better and it inspires that feeling of wanting to know as soon as possible how it will all turn out. On the other hand, it is full of heroic pathos, with characters throwing out one cool line after another, and at some moments it seems so terribly over the top that I was laughing even in the most serious situations. Was that their intention? Well, personally speaking, I do not know, however, the only thing stopping it from being "perfect" was the classic "I love you" - "I know..." conversation. However, despite all that, I was really entertained by the show, as it managed to keep me glued to the screen for a few hours and enjoy it all in its entirety, as well as perhaps appreciate that the characters just had to be killed off in this show, so who knows what will happen in the second season... 7/10.

The second season has some interesting moments even though there are fewer than in the first season. Some of the twists, such as one unexpected return, make me a little embarrassed rather than pleased. Yes, the last episode stands out and is probably the only one that is fully comparable (has the right feel) to the episodes from the first season, the rest are (+/-) about one point weaker. 6.1/10.
