Other Space

"Be a buddy, not a bully."

For fans of Community, The Office and Red Dwarf, Other Space is like a dream come true. Paul Feig's show possesses the sci-fi comic genius of shows like Red Dwarf with the meta-ness of Community for a strong, albeit short, first season. The show is so wacky and full of potential, from James Franco's little brother parodying a certain famous actor to a coffee machine leading a robot coup, there is something for everyone. Unfortunately, an 8-episode run is not the most conducive for character development, so relationships are a little rushed instead of the usual sitcom approach of longer story arcs. There are creative ways in which the show's writers manage to get around this issue, however, with the aid of science fiction tropes. Definitely worth watching for any fans of Feig or science fiction comedy, so check it out on Yahoo Screen.
