Strange Planet has quietly become one of the more dependable comedies currently available in Australia on Apple TV, and in the US on Apple TV. The show says what it needs to say in a single season, no filler. 55 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Tunde Adebimpe's performance alone is worth the time investment. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Apple TV.

Whatever else is competing for your attention this week, Strange Planet is worth clearing space for. Strange Planet gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Welcome to a distant planet not unlike our own, with hilarious yet poignant observations on life, love, and friendship—told in the most peculiar way. Tunde Adebimpe and Demi Adejuyigbe lead a cast that never overplays a joke. It first aired in 2023. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Strange Planet holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh, Strange Planet is a strong candidate. Fans of Animaniacs will recognise the sensibility here immediately. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Tunde Adebimpe sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Strange Planet was cancelled in 2023, created by Dan Harmon and Nathan W. Pyle — and 1 season is available to watch from start to finish.
