TV Review: Red Dwarf

See the source image

Release date: February 15th 1988 - April 5th 1999 (original series). October 4th 2012 - present (Revived series). Twelve series.

Story: 3 million years into deep space, the mining ship Red Dwarf sails on it's endless voyage home. It's crew are dead. Killed by a radiation leak. The only survivors are Dave Lister (who was placed in suspended animation due to smuggling a cat on board) and his cat who was safely sealed in the cargo hold. After Lister had been released 3 million years later, his only companions are Arnold J Rimmer (a hologram of his dead bunk mate), Cat (a humanoid lifeform that evolved from cats), Kryten (a mechanoid who was rescued from a crashed spacecraft), and Holly (the ship's computer).

My thoughts: I never thought that comedy and science fiction could go together. But then I watched this and was immediately a fan. The first ever Red Dwarf thing that I ever watched was the Back to Earth three part special. But the first episode of the original series that I'd watched was Guns of the Apocalypses. I like the characters, the episodes, and the space crafts. I would recommend this for those who are fans of both science fiction and comedies alike.

My score: Five stars.
