Isn't very good, is it?

Nope, it's pretty crap. Very disappointing. =(

It has some moments. I like the death ray.

Probably built by Todd Spengo.

Is it diabolical?

[james-angove.livejournal.com]

Not really. There are bits of a potentially good show in there, but it never quite comes together. You can see the influence of The Office all over it, as well and sadly that's not a good thing in this instance.

It was alright, mostly due to Miranda whatshername, but a bit too embarassement comedy for me to like very much.

[ariaflame.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Bit too much of the cringe factor for me to enjoy. It's no Red Dwarf.

I actually rather enjoyed it, but I am resigned to being in a small and isolated minority.

I'm afraid I only gave it 10 minutes before giving up... in a comedy, 10 minutes without a laugh (or a strong set-up for a future laugh) is just too long.

I'm willing to spend a bit more than 10 minutes investment for a comedy payoff, but the setup has to clearly indicate the payoff will be worth it. And it didn't. I lasted no longer than you did, and then I moved on. Netflix virtue: you don't feel ripped off by rentals when you can just stop watching, say "Meh", and move on.

The only bit I liked was the bit with agnostic hymns. "Run through the streets, tell everyone! He might have made the earth! He might have made the sun!"
