@midnightadventures Why would you rate an entire TV show after one episode?

@jaw72 for the same reason 71 other people have.

@midnightadventures That doesn't make it right. All it does is highlight why online rating systems are horribly flawed because people like you don't understand how to use them.

@jaw72 I don't agree with rating after one episode either, but this is why we have the watched % attached to every comment. That can help determine how much credibility a comment might have.

@midnightadventures watched just 1 and start isn't optimistic

@justin<br /> I don't mean to butt in, but that watched percentage isn't "attached to every comment." If a profile is private, I think that causes it not to show up. I mean, I wouldn't know, of course. You most certainly do, I'd imagine. Plus, one may watch an entire show or an episode or two, not add it as watched to their profile, and then submit such a comment. That, too, will result in there not being a watched percentage under someone's comment due to the obvious reason. But maybe I'm interpreting "attached to every comment" the wrong way.

Wow. This is deeply unfunny. When terrible writing happens to great casts... with HBO money... Just astonishingly bad.

They should have invited Jack Black to play Judd.

@bayaz Judd is Donald Trump minus the suit and maybe a little bit fatter.

This is not as bad as some of the comments here. I don't know what people are expecting to get from a show like this. Meaning of life? That's 42 btw.

If you like "The IT Crowd" or even "The Orville" you will enjoy this show.

@dnzt I'm with you on The Orville, but IT Crowd? I don't get how they compare other than a bit of shared slapstick styling. I love The IT Crowd, by the way, and The Orville is not bad, just not great for me.

Not sure why people are so down on this show, I think it's really funny.
Great set, good actors, humourous premise.

I can’t watch anymore of this. What is supposed to be humor is just ridiculous, and the storylines are junk.

[Initial Impression] Completely and utterly ridiculous and entertaining. Bizarre concept. Great comedic timing. The absurdity is matched by a keen understanding of human behaviour and social constructs, so much so, as to be a commentary on both. Hugh Laurie is the anchor of the show but is surrounded by some brilliant work by the support cast (including some great :flag_gb: talent with American accents). I give this HBO series an 8 (oddly clever) out of 10. [SciFi Comedy]

Well said. I think others were expecting 'Star Trek'.

After first episode I was already disappointed, but thought I should give it a shot and watch at least three episodes. Turned off at the middle of third episode. I love good comedy (which this show isn't), I love good Sci-Fi (which this show isn't) and I dig absurd comedy (which this show also isn't). This is not even bad, that you just couldn't watch, but it's so annoying, that it gets on your nerves..

I have read a lot of the reviews for this and have only seen half of the episodes, here is my take:
Some people need topical comments, political jabs and softball lob styled jokes before they consider a show funny. If you need a laugh track to know where you are supposed to laugh, you probably won't enjoy this show. To me, this is Silicon Valley meets The Orville. Don't expect an educational experience in astrophysics, you are going to be disappointed. There are inaccuracies in many aspects scientifically in this show. There is no reason to come to the comment board to coat the show in a cloud of orbiting turds.

EDIT: I am now 100% watched and 100% all-in for the ridiculousness to commence in Season 2!

@zuretear Yes, I agree but they have been used as recently as The Big Bang Theory. The general consensus was that television audiences were smart enough to know where the "funny" was without the audible cues.

I think why people are not enjoying this is because its not your typical American comedy. The creator/writer of this show is Armando Iannucci who is from the UK. The humor is decidedly British in nature and is actually quite funny. But if one does not enjoy British humor they will most likely not enjoy this show.

@schmoogie :100: And even though Im an American, British comedy is totally my thing, and I happen to love Armando Ianucci. I liked his bizarre stuff even before he came to do Veep. This show is awesome & I want more.

@schmoogie I think that's a great assessment. I love British humor and I enjoy this show but never put the two together before reading your comment.
