Over the years, I have to admit that my admiration for "Final Space" has diminished a bit. I always felt that could perhaps be funnier but the plotting work that was a strength of the first season fell away, and in the two-year gap between the second and third seasons I'd pretty much forgot what was going on.
Now trapped in 'Final Space', Gary Goodspeed (Olan Rogers) and his crew must attempt to avoid Invictus, a dark god, and return to regular space. But in Final Space Invictus is all powerful and the Lord Commander (David Tennant) is also there. Gary struggles to keep his crew together, particularly after a devastating loss but can they escape before the expose to Final Space itself kills them all.
I've got to be honest and say that I might feel better about "Final Space" if I didn't have such lengthy gaps between the seasons, I really struggled when the third run started to remember what was going on and what the various characters wanted. All that said though, having reached the end of the season, less than 24 hours later I'm really struggling to remember what it was about. I do remember some of the plot points but generally it's a bit of a blur of rescue after rescue. I get that the show has fans, fans campaigning for the show to return, but for me I feel like I understand why it's struggled to find and keep an audience.
I like the animation style still and I think the vocal performances are good. But despite that, and not just because the show ends on a bit of a cliffhanger, I honestly don't feel like I would recommend that anybody starts watching the series, even animation fans, even science fiction animation fans.
