Hyperdrive
Red dwarf wannabe, new sci fi comedy with potential or just a little bit pants?

I missed last week's episode and after watching the first 20 minute's of this week's I can only count that as a blessing - absolute garbage, so bad I couldn't watch to the end. The humour is non existant and the characters are awful, which matches the acting. May I never be subjected to this tripe again.

I guess I should be glad I missed it.
Shame, as I really like Nick Frost.
Anyone seen Tittybangbang yet? Another pile of un-funny tosh!

We caught about ten minutes of this the other night. UGH - a cut-price version of 'The Office' set on board a cardboard spaceship. Cheap acting, cheap sets and juvenile humour. Mind you, I didn't like The Office anyway....

Unfortunatley this was part of the problem with the show for me. He's great in Spaced and Shaun of the Dead as the best mate, but it becomes obvious that he's using the same acting approach for the leader of a spaceship, it simply doesn't work. |

One or two "smile" moments but on the whole it was pretty poor and I won't be giving it another chance

Sooooooooooooooo bad - the only thing worse than Hyperdrive was the completly horrible, unfunny, disgusting Tittybangbang

So far not impressed...
Its not been good so far - agreed a few "smile moments" but nothing more.
The BBC have a ready made audience who would bite their left arm off to have another series of Red Dwarf on the screen.
But I suppose those in charge at the Beeb now see Red Dwarf as "history".
They've had the RD film knocking around in development hell for the last few years, wouldn't it have been great if the BBC had taken the budget for producing this load of old tosh, and put it into producing a 2 hour made for TV RD special that could have been shown at Christmas?
They would have more than recouped the investment in the DVD sales alone.
Ho-hum.
I'll keep watching to see if it improves, but I think its highly unlikely going on the content of the first two episodes.

I think its his *only* acting style!
He even took the same approach on that documentary series he did for Channel 5.

It's not improving...
Oh dear.
Last nights episode was simply dreadful.
I read in SFX magazine that they're talking about a second series!
I so hope that's not true...

Have to agree - I managed to sit through episodes 1 & 2, but concluded that there was no hope for it.
SFX said that it wasn't a "pointless re-heat of Red Dwarf"...unfortunately, that would have been a blessing compared to this drivel.
