I like the idea that Voyager being stranded in the Delta Quadrant is playing back on Earth as a reality show, and they have to keep viewership numbers up if they ever want to make it home. Kind of like Avenue 5.
Wait, Avenue 5 was cancelled? Damn it!
Is that show worth watching?
Absolutely. Avenue 5 captures the satire of Red Dwarf, with modern production values.
I quite enjoyed it! It's very similar to something like Lower Decks or The Orville. Not quite the same, but similar.
Season 2, the last season, ends on quite a bit of a cliffhanger though unfortunately.
Go into it with the expectation of total absurdity on par with Red Dwarf and you'll probably like it. Don't expect anything as serious as The Orville or Lower Decks.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Shame they're not making a third series, but it's got to be hard to get commitments from such a big ensemble cast. Also I believe there was some merger fuckery that affected it, and they really did fuck-all to promote it. If you've liked any of Iannucci's other stuff, definitely check it out.
You’ve got to keep Lt. Barclay interested in the project.
