Final Space...
Earlier this year, I started watching Final Space. According to Amazon...
Final Space moves along at a frenetic pace with jokes flying fast and furious. Gary is often portrayed as a clueless fool, but, Gary has a god heart and when it really counts, Gary shines brightest when his friends need him most. The series starts out fairly light in tone, but, as events spiral out of control, the series takes a distinctly darker tone as one of the main characters makes the ultimate sacrifice, complete with dramatically melancholy music and sad faces all around, portrayed in slow-motion. The series then gets even darker as events go from bad to worse to really, really awful, but, no matter how bad things get, Gary tries to remain positive.
Ultimately, Final Space builds to a wonderful climax as Gary and company face off with the series' villain, the Lord Commander. The series ends with a cliffhanger as everything goes horribly wrong and the series just ends. During the course of the series, there is some adult language and some bloodshed and gore. Given the violence, bloodshed and language in the series, the youngest animation fans among us should stay away. Overall, Final Space was very entertaining from beginning to end, even with the cliffhanger ending. There were, of course, a number of unanswered questions at the end of the series, but, in my humble opinion, it was still satisfying. I would give Final Space a 4 out of 5.
