  • Summary

  • Starship Captain George Cottonhammer (Will Forte), bored by his job, stops his ship in middle space and floats, doing nothing. He refuses to answer distress calls, dodges anything that smacks of work, chooses instead to focus on his love life and his idea dujour - opening an intergalactic burger franchise. And while he perfects the art of killing time, his crew moves from baffled to annoyed, to furious, to borderline mutinous. But when an ignored intergalactic distress call turns out to be a trap, the limits of how high someone can fail upwards are stretched, and the captain must, to his dismay, do something.

Story Really Gathers Pace But Need Season 2

Great comedy. The story really grows and the characters with it. Tom Forte is really funny as an absurdist character. But you can't leave the story there!

Brilliant

A very entertaining if not slow paced sci-fi comedy. The cast is phenomenal but Forte absolutely shines. A multiple listen gem.

Flawed but listenable, acting is good.

Nothing happens fast, when it does it's kinda flat. The humour is slow but wry. Good for bedtime listening. The acting is good.
