Is it for me?
Sitcom fans who liked Veep's insults but can live with them slower and sillier will settle in here. Hugh Laurie plays the captain with an American accent that slips whenever he panics. Early on, the crew recites his motto one word each. Gravity flips, sending passengers tumbling through the ship, and billionaire Herman Judd cheerfully says he was flying.
Before you start
Season one takes a few episodes to settle, so give it until episode three or four; season two is looser and more sitcom-like.
2 seasons, 17 episodes, 30 min each, about 8 hours so far
