A Spaceship that Becomes a Hotel for the Rich Breaks down, so they Have to Spend 3 years in Space

The troubled crew of Avenue 5, a space cruise ship filled with spoiled, rich, snotty space tourists, must try and keep everyone calm after their ship gets thrown off course into space and ends up needing three years to return to Earth.

If all it took was 500 passengers that would only be 77500 lbs or 9800 gallons of water less than the average home owned pool (usually around 15000 gallons). They could dump less than half of the pool that is on board and have dropped more than enough weight.

This is a tedious show to watch. I have a great respect for Hugh Laurie and I strongly suggest watching Chance, although only 2 seasons it is a great show. I admit that pooh surrounding the spaceship and the cadavers is very good, season 2 is very difficult to watch though. A few cool nods to Star Trek including Felix from Voyager being in the cast....but really The Orville is hands down a far superior show for space comedy, although it also excells the the dramatic and storytelling element. This is probably the best way to experience Avenue 5, in recaps. Thanks.

[@slcRN1971]

You are so correct, this series is very tedious to watch - - I lasted only two episodes. It was suppose to be a comedy, I didn’t even smile once! When watching this, this time seemed to drag on forever!! I loved the ‘Orville’ series and was very disappointed, when it disappeared!! I liked it as much as ‘Star Trek-TOS’ and that’s saying it was special. I’ve been a fan of ‘Star Trek’ since it first aired on my parents brand new color TV, in the mid 1960s.
