That fusion of the simple and the vibrant is what makes the show worth tuning in for. Final Space is working from a template, but it’s adding colors that make these journeys well worth taking. Read full review

This dysfunctional family comes together in exciting ways that lead to a lot of conflict, and they’re tested in ever more traumatizing ways, with heart-breaking results. It’s these characters that make the show worth watching. Read full review

As a satire on science-fiction and the world we ordinarily live in, it is not as clever as "Futurama" or "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" or "Galaxy Quest," series with which it shares certain features. The comedy leans toward things adolescent boys find funny. ... But it clips along and looks good. Read full review

Final Space needs to find a smarter path to its humor (and force its main character to grow up), but the Futurama-meets-Steven Universe premise holds promise, and with some adjustments, this series could potentially launch into hyper-speed. Read full review

Something got lost in the translation. Final Space isn't as remotely entertaining as, say, Futurama, nor any of the Fox animated series nor the non-animated Third Rock From the Sun for that matter--and especially not TBS' other, non-animated slice of brilliance, People of Earth, that O'Brien also executive produces. It's hard to ask people in the Peak TV era to stick with an animated comedy that's not exactly working on any level. Read full review

When I saw the previews to this show, I felt it was in the area of Deep Space 69's latest concept of the series or even a futurama esque show, but I a gave it a shot not even knowing who Olan Roger's was let alone "Gary Space" and It got me a little hooked, and by the 3rd episode I realizedWhen I saw the previews to this show, I felt it was in the area of Deep Space 69's latest concept of the series or even a futurama esque show, but I a gave it a shot not even knowing who Olan Roger's was let alone "Gary Space" and It got me a little hooked, and by the 3rd episode I realized the attempt of what they were going for. It was hard for me to take to heart what Olan says about it being one of the first series with consistent changes and sticking to it, like Gary losing his arm, the loss of characters, anything that shows consequence and not going back on it. I do however feel that the pace is not bad, especially being with the swift story development, which I felt like I wasn't even missing out on anything. I seriously felt a rise of attachment to the show as it went on, the only gripe I have while watching this season was that I have to wait till next week and now I'll have to wait till season 2. I really hope people give this show a chance, and not have expectations by comparing it to a type of animated show that they watch on a regular, as if other forms of entertainments style or story and animation is the bar that is set. Other than the people who actually have legitimate reasons of disinterest, I would say give it a chance if you feel like it's trying to be something that already exists, and treat as most would for a non animated show.… Expand

Being finally able to watch Final Space since it was released on Netflix, I thoroughly enjoyed the first season of the show.

The show starts slowly but once it picks after a few episodes it's very hard to stop watching. Good comedy mixed with great animation and voice acting make this one of the most fun animated series out there.… Expand

This show is amazing. It's a hidden gem, really, and I hope more and more people get to know it. Funny, witty and - surprisingly - heartbreaking at times.

I absolutely loved the cast of characters. They are well developed, well written, it's easy to understand what each one brings to the table. From the wanna-be-hero, Gary, to the droid KVN who everybody seems to hate.

After sitting down to watch the first episode, I could not help it and binge watched the whole thing in one afternoon. And, by the time the final credits rolled, I caught myself actually missing them. I want to know more, I want to see more and learn what the new season has to offer.

Like I said: this is a hidden gem that should not be missed.… Expand

While the action is pretty enjoyable, the overall plots become boring to watch over time. When it trys humor, it's very hit or miss, coming into the show, I thought it would have done better with it's humor, but the more episodes I watch it gets harder to accept it's mediocrity.
