Highly Overrated But Still Good

First of all; I love Red Dwarf, Spaced, the Office, Black Adder and British sitcoms and comedies in all. I'm mentioning this to underline that I normally like these kind of television shows and this type of humor.But Hyperdrive simply is not a good series. It is unimaginative and un-original. The characters are flat and dull. The script and lines are uninspired and without the English sting that the Brits are so well known for. Hyperdrive is boring and not funny. I honestly didn't laugh once! during the two seasons. ...the worst part is that I payed good money to see it on DVD.

Hyperdrive features the adventures of a group of space traveling promoters of Britain to the universe. They use the Camden Lock spacecraft as a portable propaganda machine and strike up trade deals with the alien 'peoples' of other planets.This is a truly brilliant comedy, and combines excellent 3D graphics and prosthetics with a ripping sense of humor and excellent acting. The cast couldn't be more well suited to heir roles as British advertisers and the humor is well entrenched within the flush performance. The plots, however insensible and ridiculous, are quite captivating, with a sci-fi/comedy cross you can't beat.Truly this is one of britcoms finest recent productions. The laughs of Little Britain with the sophistication of South Park are combined to make a worthy show indeed.

It got better, and it keeps getting better. 'Hello Queppo' was hilarious, and 'Asteroid' brilliant.One of the most memorable scenes is Teal and York jockeying to push the button that destroys the Swiftian civilization on Queppo as the captain pines for his alien love interest. Freeking hilarious. Another great moment, crewman Jeffers entering the rehabilitation chamber and being bombarded with images of kittens playing with balls of yarn. I almost split my gut laughing at that one. If Hyperdrive keeps up at this pace it will join 'Coupling', 'South Park', 'Family Guy(OK, I've revealed myself too much on that one) ,' and 'The Office' in the uncluttered pantheon of truly funny TV sitcoms. BTW whenever I find myself watching too much of the above comedies on my Tivo, a line from 'Hyperdrive' comes to mind: "Remember, lager is not food. Please eat food with your lager."

Look, I have now seen ALL 6 episodes, it has not gotten 1 iota funnier. Its awkward and poorly written. I had high hopes for this show. I love Douglas Adams. I love Red Dwarf. I loved Nick Frost in Spaced and Shaun Of The Dead. I love Sci-Fi, I REALLY love Sci-Fi comedy. I hated this show.Don't get me wrong, I really wanted to like it, but its just done so badly. I was even in a sort of denial for a few episodes, but the truth is its boring. I don't care about any of the characters, the jokes were very dull, and the whole thing just fell under the category of "Great idea done badly".I think this is less like Red Dwarf and more like The Office....in space! Not that thats a bad thing, if done well. It isn't. I mean I would much rather see David Brent helming a starship, with Garreth as a second in command with delusions of grandeur (as weird as that concept may be) than watch this show stumble through each episode.Disappointingly forgettable.
