    It’s a sci-fi comedy. And it’s very funny. I’m not sure where the mess is.

      I love it, but it was pretty messy a lot of the time in various different ways. My impressions were:

      Season 1: Brilliant, really good science fiction
      Season 2: Fun episodic comedy sci fi
      Season 3: Sometimes weird, sometimes gruesomely tedious
      Season 4: Trying to be more like a normal comedy TV show, results mixed

      I’m not sure where the comedy is.

      Horses for courses but I gave it a real good go, and other than “robot head be horny” I failed to see anything funny about it.

        Maybe because it’s a German show? It’s not true that Germans don’t have a sense of humor, it’s just that it’s a little different. If you can get into it, it’s a lot of fun.

          It is a Canadian show with a few German actors. It’s from Newfoundland if I am not mistaken.

            Ok, fair enough. I just thought maybe that was why.

              It’s a fair point, German humour (or even just what lands in German - Dinner for One anyone?) can be a bit more dry and slightly odd.
