Television Avenue 5 - New HBO Sci-fi Comedy

[Annihilate Now!]

This has compeltely past me by until today... But its Sci-fi, its Armando Iannucci and its HBO... Surely it'll be good?

Also it's got Jared from Silicon Valley in it, and he fecks.

Mandatory Trailer:


Starts on Sky on 19th Jan.

Hugh Laurie good. Armando Iaunuicici also good. Space food. Comedy good.

Yeah, looking forward to this a lot. Watched the Death of Stalin the other day and it was so much better than some of my friends said it was. Not sure why I thought Iannucci could do wrong.

First episode airs tonight.

If I'm honest, the trailer looks shit. A bit too much like the typical anodyne American sitcom, for my liking. But Ianucci gets the benefit for the time being.

Hopefully it's not too Hollywood or slapsticky.

It worked for The Orville, which was surprisingly engaging.

I know it's the first episode and all that... but that wasn't anywhere near Ianucci's best.

I really hope it picks up.

Yeah, I found it quite boring, tbh.

Hopefully, like you say, it picks up now that they've set up the story and characters which was all that episode was about.

I think the nihilist kid might end up being one of my favourites.

 

[Member 60376]

Watched the first four episodes. Mixed bag for me. But some parts are really good, in a really weird way.

 

[Mrs Smoker]

Was a fan of Veep, but this is painful, unfunny garbage.

 

[Dante]

It's been quite poor so far, but things have really picked up in episode 8.

 

[Ekeke]

Its okay

 

[Hoof the ball]

Enjoying now it's finally getting into its rhythm. Shame it's right at the tail end of the season. Hopefully it hits the ground running if they get renewed for a second season.

[Salt Bailly]

Enjoying season 2 much more than the 1st. So many funny lines in the pedophile episode.
