Red Dwarf by Mischief Maker 04/30/2022, 6:06am PDT Man, for years I'd been hearing about this show as some Douglas Adams-style hidden gem. Now that I've seen it... ugh. It's terrible imitation Douglas Adams. The characters get into situations you might see in an Adams book, but the jokes are almost always duds. I binged through to the third season just to see if it ever gets good, and the only time I really had a laugh was the visual gags when they went to reverse-time Earth. The one thing I legit loved about the show was how the theme song morphs from lonely and foreboding in the opening credits to a goofy pop ditty in the end credits. Then season 3 comes around and they drop the dark intro. Disappointing.
