As others have said, this isn't a comedy. There are a couple humorous parts and some of it is kind of goofy, but besides that it's mostly the type of moody drama that already has 100 iterations on Netflix. The premise is sci-fi, but the vast majority of the time is spent on interpersonal BS that isn't worth filming. Or even watching. Wehhhh, my brother died. Not interesting.
It does have Chris O'Dowd though, which is honestly the only reason I checked this out. I'm on episode 7 and he's definitely one of the better aspects of the show. The show does what it does well but it's ultimately still a drama, and dramas can only be so good. The pacing of the show is torturous at times too. The interpersonal stuff isn't interesting to begin with, so you end up with these long, drawn out periods between already-irrelevant conversations. Over an entire episode, there will only be a few points that'll be relevant to the overall plot. The entire rest is personal garbage.
It's really not terrible, but it's also not particularly good. They need to make an abridged version that cuts out most of the personal stuff. Pretty sure they could easily cut this into an hour and a half tv movie.
