Decent animation and reasonable design for most things (the humans suck though), great voice actors, but the flattest jokes and an awful script completely obliterate any chance of it being funny, fun or interesting. Emotional scenes are too ofteb and are mostly manipulative trash and unearned by a flat and unlikeable cast, nonsense setups (every prisoner gets a ship? Really?) and the overall plot is just exaggerated sci-fi and Lovecraft ripoffs, with no actual stakes. So what are you, Final Space? You're not funny, you're not touching or moving.

    Anyway, it's watchable. But it will make you angry for how it wastes all that potential.    … Expand

    Watched the first couple of episodes but to be honest wasn't doing it for me on any levei, not really funny or interesting. Perhaps if you stick with it maybe it will get better, but for me there is so much stuff to watch now that I can't be bothered watching something and hoping it improves.

    Simply not funny. I found myself laughing a total of zero times while watching this. Zero. None. Boring story I can't get myself to care for at all, and it progresses through the season, unlike most shows of the type, and... while that could be cool... it just leaves me with an even greater sense of "meh". Characters are meh. Plot is meh. Humor is horrendously bad. It's... no, just watchSimply not funny. I found myself laughing a total of zero times while watching this. Zero. None.

Rick & Morty, Futurama, The Simpsons etc etc etc are all animated shows that are funny. This can not be listed with them. I can't quite put my finger on it, but this show just really did not do it for me. I watched it all... then sat back.... and... meh.… Expand

    Mediocre in just about every way. Tries to be funny, but isn't. Main character is extremely annoying.

    This show is the very epitome of "Meh". Starting with an intro and a theme song, that could not be any more boring and uninteresting and ending with everything else. Half the characters are literally made of jokes. Unfortunately not the good kind of jokes.

    Watched this on a friend's recommendation. We're not friends anymore. I didn't crack the slightest chuckle at any point, as the writer's seemed to have confused "humorous lead character" with "immensely annoying and utterly random character". The impotent attempt at making a female "POC" character "bad-ass" is nothing more than a Mary Sue. No seriously, here's a line of dialog from her: "IWatched this on a friend's recommendation.

So the greatest physicist ever while also being an unstoppable pilot, soldier, and hand-to-hand combatant. Sure thing, sparky. Every character lacks any depth at all. Jesus H. Christ, I want the ten hours of my life I sunk into this stupid series back!

    In short: boring when not downright annoying, terribly written, and a total waste of time. It gets a score of 2 because I like the theme song. Even that is generous.    … Expand

    Olan Rogers is a reasonably talented voice actor, it's a shame that this talent does not extend to writing because this show has some of the worst I've ever had to suffer through.

    Final Space's gags regularly fall flat, and the ones that do elicit a chuckle are played out until the charm evaporates and you begin to hate what you once appreciated. The attempts at heart-string tugging character drama are a wasted effort as that would require the viewer to identify with some of the cast - a problem for a show consistent only in its failure to make any of the protagonists likeable.

    This is typified by Kevin, a robot with the singular and defining trait of "being annoying". This might have had more impact, but sadly for Kevin, all the other characters are annoying in more aggravating ways.

    Final Space is an unoriginal and poorly implemented yawn-fest. it gets 3 stars for quality animation and the fact I can now ask people "Did you like Final Space?" and use it as a gauge of mental stability, because anyone who expresses anything more positive than apathy for this show is not to be trusted.    … Expand

    That fusion of the simple and the vibrant is what makes the show worth tuning in for. Final Space is working from a template, but it’s adding colors that make these journeys well worth taking.

    As a satire on science-fiction and the world we ordinarily live in, it is not as clever as "Futurama" or "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" or "Galaxy Quest," series with which it shares certain features. The comedy leans toward things adolescent boys find funny. ... But it clips along and looks good.

    Final Space needs to find a smarter path to its humor (and force its main character to grow up), but the Futurama-meets-Steven Universe premise holds promise, and with some adjustments, this series could potentially launch into hyper-speed.
