Czerwony Karzeł - Série 11

A series safely riding the waves of a light dwarf above average, play it safe when none of the episodes is a letdown, but only one is memorable (as in the previous row, it is the third one). It thus makes us think of the golden age with something other than the prevailing nostalgia like the rest. (09.01.2017)

After 30 years of working on Red Dwarf, the authorial duo of Grant and Naylor know well what works and what they can use. The problem is that their humor can be described as juvenile or even student-like, i.e., humor for the younger generation, which ideally should be conveyed by members of the young generation themselves. Red Dwarf from the late 80s had an ideally formed crew to appeal to teenagers and those slightly older than them. If the lines are delivered by gentlemen who are slowly but surely approaching retirement age, the viewer gets the feeling that it sounds slightly inappropriate coming from them. This is where you can see the difference between the animated series The Simpsons, which is also approaching its 30th anniversary, but fortunately, it is not noticeable in that show. If real actors are involved, one would expect some development of their characters, the fulfillment of certain goals, and the setting of others as the decades go by. If you think about it more deeply, you might actually feel sorry for those four unfortunates in the depths of space. Overall impression: 75%. (09.12.2018)

The first episode of the eleventh season didn't grab me that much and I was worried that this would be a total flop. But in the end, it turned out that nostalgia worked. And not just nostalgia, but the fact that it's still incredibly funny in places. Moreover, there are also occasional well-thought-out scripts that bring us back to the original series. (29.11.2016)
