    Delightful new science-fiction comedy.... Like candy, it is sweet, and sometimes sticky or nutty or surprising.

    Thus far, Feig and his collaborators have found the right balance of humor and gravity for this celestial comedy.

    In short, picture MST3K fab club putting on a play written by Community's Abed in a no-parents-allowed tree house. [17/24 Apr 2015, p.104]

    Other Space may not be TV’s, or streaming’s, next great comedy. But it’s a welcome and unexpected treat.

    The humor in Other Space is largely of the absurd, what-would-happen-if-we-put-idiots-in-a-serious-space-setting variety. Sometimes the jokes hit, other times it feels like the kind of space opera I filmed with friends while in high school in the late 1980s.

    The plotlines are moderately intriguing.... But the cast, a mixture of actors, comics and writers, isn’t really up to the challenge of getting the best out of this material.

It doesn't have the highest production value but it makes up for that in "The Office" type of witty comedy. This is a fresh and fun look at an old space comedy genre, and I think its came at the right time. I like the energy and fun cast. I also enjoyed the lost-in-space premise and how nothing is as it seems. I have not been a fan of Yahoo Originals in the past... and I am still not really, but I hope that Netflix makes a bid for this one. It has potential and I would hate to see what happens if its not leveraged (RIP Firefly).… Full Review »

Gave it a shot on Yahoo Screens and I was completely sold about 2 minutes into the second episode. Each episode's plot is well thought out, the humor is spot on, the cast works well together, the characters have their unique quirks and grow on you really fast. I'm sold.

    Yahoo has produced an instant classic here, and I hope it will continue to run for many seasons.    … Full Review »
