Pitched by Adam Stein along with Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, and Glenn Howerton of Always Sunny fame, and created during the early-mid stride of that show's success. Following a deep space rock collecting ship going off course in a mock Star Trek, the crew gets up to trouble abusing the holodeck, faking their jobs, and other haha nonsense. A poor rip of Star Trek, much like my feelings on the later The Orville, it doesn't really try hard to satirize, provide commentary, or do much original, but rather apply an expected sitcom format "but in space". Lots of humour on the blue side, the jokes sometimes land, but mostly don't, which is surprising given Always Sunny is a riot, one of my favourites, and in my opinion better written shows I've watched. The set is okay, but definitely look like a set, the CGI worse (though arguably unfinished). The acting is okay, but none of the characters go much beyond what we've seen from the actors previously, and some of the acting is just straight up bad, almost seeming on purpose "in the sense of comedy" at points, or otherwise just kinda generic comedy personalities. Starring all those Sunny stars mentioned along with other familiar cast including David Hornsby, Tony Hale, Natalie Morales, Chad Coleman, Artemis Pebdani, and even Kaitlin Olson, there's a lot of characters. I was honestly disappointed, it sounded so much better on paper, but in reality kinda flopped. Probably wouldn't recommend.
