Go into it with the expectation of total absurdity on par with Red Dwarf and you’ll probably like it. Don’t expect anything as serious as The Orville or Lower Decks.
I thoroughly enjoyed it. Shame they’re not making a third series, but it’s got to be hard to get commitments from such a big ensemble cast. Also I believe there was some merger fuckery that affected it, and they really did fuck-all to promote it. If you’ve liked any of Iannucci’s other stuff, definitely check it out.

Is that show worth watching?

Absolutely. Avenue 5 captures the satire of Red Dwarf, with modern production values.

I quite enjoyed it! It’s very similar to something like Lower Decks or The Orville. Not quite the same, but similar.
Season 2, the last season, ends on quite a bit of a cliffhanger though unfortunately.
