Final Space Season 1

Final Space Season 1 has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available. A compact run that never overstays its welcome. An 8/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Watch it for Fred Armisen — stay for everyone else around them. There is no real reason to keep putting it off.

Final Space Season 1 arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The jokes in Final Space Season 1 land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. After meeting an adorable alien with planet-destroying capabilities, a human prisoner in space goes on an interstellar adventure to save the universe. Fred Armisen and Tom Kenny lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was aired in 2018. What keeps Final Space Season 1 from feeling disposable is a cast that clearly understands the material better than the format usually demands. It rarely drops the ball, and when it does, it recovers fast.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Final Space Season 1 respects your intelligence. It rewards viewers regardless of what else is in their watch history. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Fred Armisen's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.
