"Science does not need faith, it just is". "Cast him out! But not out of the airlock!" The humor in the show is way better than the earlier episodes. Who knew floating feces could be so pretty

The last two haven't been as funny

Still funny and entertaining.

At this point, I'm expecting the period of which it will take to reach Earth will continue fluctuating back and forth, probably for all eternity, or at least for however long the show lasts. If so, that would probably be the show's ultimate running gag.
Anyway, lots of funny and surely entertaining material, as always. Especially the lore surrounding this show's world. I think these little bits of information regarding it now and then is a running gag itself.
Regardless, it is not only very entertaining but also very interesting. I hope it continues and will be a recurring theme throughout the show.

Middle Of The Road

Back to feelings of indifference about "Avenue 5" having felt that last week's episode was the first one I genuinely enjoyed.
The passengers on the ship begin to see things in the floating ring of excrement encircling the ship including the giant face of the Pope. The fervour that this generates upsets Harrison Ames (Paterson Joseph) a wealthy rival of Herman Judd (Josh Gad) who is annoyed that the best place to view the poo pope is on his upper deck. Judd attempts to get Captain Clark (Hugh Laurie) to smooth this over, but he's more concerned about the fact that he's the only person able to engage the ships docking systems but his not trained to do it.
So, I'm repeating myself here but I'm back to liking aspects of the show and disliking others. I don't like any of the stuff that's happening on Earth, and the thrusts of the mission control story are as confusing as they are unfunny. I thought they told NASA that they didn't want any help, but now there's not only a plan to dock the ship and fly everyone home - but there's a way to send a ship to deliver supplies. Why then haven't they been shipping back passengers since the first day they went off course then? I still don't believe that this show takes place in a real world. Why would Zack Woods's character still be making adverts for the amenities on the ship? I feel like the answer is . . so there's more comedy, but I'd prefer the show to work with the limitations, not just ignore them.
Some aspects are reasonably amusing, well.... At the moment, one aspect. Hugh Laurie is still desperately, grumpily, swearing and panicking his way to some laughter. Lenora Crichlow's Billie is an able foil for most of this. But still we waste time with the bickering married couple, the dull astronaut and bad comedian.
One more to go.

Oh look it got worse

Take a show with no redeeming qualities and add in more characters that portray the worst in humanity.
I'm not sure how, but this show is now worse than before. It's loathsome.
I presume it's supposed to be humorously absurd, what it is, is painfully absurd.
Everybody involved in this project should be ashamed of how poor it is.
Now down to 1 star across the board.
