It's a sci-fi comedy. And it's very funny. I'm not sure where the mess is.

I love it, but it was pretty messy a lot of the time in various different ways. My impressions were:

Season 1: Brilliant, really good science fiction
Season 2: Fun episodic comedy sci fi
Season 3: Sometimes weird, sometimes gruesomely tedious
Season 4: Trying to be more like a normal comedy TV show, results mixed

I'd say that's a fair assessment.

Remember s2e18 - Brigadoom?

The whole universe is getting destroyed, everything is disappearing, and they have time for a musical number!

In my opinion, honestly one of the best episodes of anything ever made. And you can even watch it on youtube right now, because apparently, someone uploaded the whole episode.

I’m not sure where the comedy is.

Horses for courses but I gave it a real good go, and other than “robot head be horny” I failed to see anything funny about it.

Maybe because it's a German show? It's not true that Germans don't have a sense of humor, it's just that it's a little different. If you can get into it, it's a lot of fun.

It is a Canadian show with a few German actors. It's from Newfoundland if I am not mistaken.

Ok, fair enough. I just thought maybe that was why.

It’s a fair point, German humour (or even just what lands in German - Dinner for One anyone?) can be a bit more dry and slightly odd.
