    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.

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