I thought I've seen 'em all and couldn't laugh about so-called 'comedy' anymore - that's the 'maximum short laughs per minute' kind that even the Simpsons have resorted to.
While Red Dwarf is jumping the shark, Avenue 5 has a similar kind of basic absurd setting that keeps makes me smile constantly - and laugh out loud at every relevation of character development. There jokes about common make-believe about hierarchy and status are spot-on.
I think it could do with a little less of profanity (I don't want to spoil it, think 'ring') but otherwise this is has restored my hope for the whole genre.
