TV Series: Avenue 5

[Legatus Legionis]

The first episode was a bit of disappointment. I was hoping for something more. But I’ll reserve judgement until the season is finished. It might just be a slow start.

I’ve heard reviewers who gave seen the first 4-5 episodes say the first is the worst of the bunch, largely because of the combination of the styles of the people behind the lens being constrained by the time limitations of the show.

 

[Gladius Legis]

Yeah, supposedly around the 4th episode is when the show begins to get itself together.

Armando Iannucci hasn't disappointed yet (Veep, The Thick of It, In the Loop, Death of Stalin, all of them fantastic). So I will be patient with this and give it a chance, even though the pilot was a bit of a mess.

 

[Morrus]

I struggled with the first episode. But I'll give it a few more.

 

[GreyLord]

Haven't seen it, but the trailer reminds me of Wall-E before they get the robots and everyone gets unable to walk.

In the sense that it's on a space liner, yeah.

 

[CapnZapp]

It seems a mix of The Orville and Red Dwarf.

More like Aniara, but much happier ;-)

I wonder why this was made, I wonder why HBO allowed this show to be aired.

The references made by others here, on the show's projection, are correct.

It was boring, stupid and truly shallow.

Well, lots of shows are that, and they still get made.
