Some laughs come through on this show, but only 1 or 2 per episode, Nick Frost and Kevin Eldon do well themselves with a poor script, but the script is far too thin and the episodes of no sense of a continuing story, very weak only saved by some laughs and no lack of effort from the main cast

I grew-up on Red Dwarf and spaced also and have and have been holding out for another series on Red Dwarf for years, when Hyperdrive came to our screen I didn't think it could compare to Red Dwarf... I was wrong! I loved Red Dwarf and have watched it to death and Hyperdrive have made laugh just as much... u have to be observant to find humour in the show joke aren't made obvious all the time and if you have the inteligence in you then you will see that the humour... well worth making another series... but I said the same about spaced and it never happened.

A lot of people (probably the type who think "Little Britain" is the last word in comedy) dissed "Hyperdrive" - but it's really not all that bad. It's not great either - it's character-based, and some of the characters are crap (e.g. the beardy guy and his sidekick) - but it's a definite grower. Series 2 considerably stronger than 1. Comparisons with "Red Dwarf" are justified; indeed, I suspect that the Beeb specifically wanted to commission a space-based comedy to go for the Dwarf demographic.

Worth a punt - you naysayers need to open your minds a bit.
