It's literally just camp TNG with juvenile humor, mildly annoying characters, and low stakes.
Honestly I kind of wanted them to keep more of the humorous tone. I know a lot of people hated it and thought it was distracting, but I thought it was a pretty unique take on the genre. I wish they'd toned it down without going full space opera.
It took me a while to get passed the early episodes, they were a little too “family guy” for me.
But the show did get pretty good in season 2, and the humour got better (in my opinion).
I think the humour in the first few episodes was Mcfarlens way of sneaking the show past the network suits - he sold it as family guy meets star trek, then switched on them once it was established.
Literally the case, the first couple eps were written for fartjock executives. Ep 4 onwards were written for the show. It's why there's a sudden stratospheric upswing
The humor is the worst. All kidding aside, I wish you all the best.
I bet he didn't even fuck a ghost!
I'm sure there's no actual juvenile humor in the armed forces.
Someone didn't watch past ep 3
