My reaction
Synopsis: The Odd Couple in space
How I saw it: on tv and online several times, most recently yesterday (streaming from Netflix)
Concept: Indifferent.
Story: Good. There are just barely enough science fiction ideas to keep the sit-com cliches from being overbearing.
Characters: Good. The two leads are crap, but Cat (the wacky neighbor character) is brilliant.
Dialog: Indifferent.
Pacing: Good.
Cinematography: Indifferent.
Special effects/design: Indifferent.
Acting: Indifferent.
Music: Bad.
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good). Most of the jokes aren't funny (except for Cat's bits). I like it anyways. I don't know why.
Objective Rating: 2.3/4 (Okay).
