Waste of time

not horrible nor great

Brilliant and touching

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Anyone claiming that this show is boring, rubbish, or a waste of time needs their sense of humor tuned up. I've watched every episode + loved it from start to finish. No it is not Red Dwarf + it doesn't need to be. Brilliant cast, brilliant deadpan comedic delivery, brilliant "moments" from a group of talented actors with turns at both heart-warming + laugh- inducing antics. And to anyone with the general notion that "women aren't funny", you obviously haven't witnessed the hilarious Miranda Hart as Teal in this series. Lovely.

My girlfriend bought the Hyperdrive DVD because she is a big fan of Miranda Hart and this popped up on Amazon when she was looking for Hart stuff. We read the reviews on here and most were positive and the cast was a list of top comedy actors. We both thought it was a good show and felt it deserved more than a couple of series. By the second series we were really into it big time. Unfortunately there were no more.It used to be the best but the BBC are very half hearted about comedy these days, they seem to have lost their way. The BBC are pretty poor these days, most comedy is farmed out to BBC2 or 3 and just disappears as most of us viewers never hear of it. I cannot recommend Hyperdrive highly enough, it is cool funny and well worth watching.I have written this because Miranda Hart had a big spread in the Daily Mail yesterday and I thought our enjoyment of Hyperdrive worth a mention on IMDb.

First of all; I love Red Dwarf, Spaced, the Office, Black Adder and British sitcoms and comedies in all. I'm mentioning this to underline that I normally like these kind of television shows and this type of humor.But Hyperdrive simply is not a good series. It is unimaginative and un-original. The characters are flat and dull. The script and lines are uninspired and without the English sting that the Brits are so well known for. Hyperdrive is boring and not funny. I honestly didn't laugh once! during the two seasons. ...the worst part is that I payed good money to see it on DVD.

I'd have to disagree with the above commenter, but then again, that's what different personalities and tastes are all about :) Quite a few people have compared it to Red Dwarf. Unfortunately just about any space-orientated comedy (especially coming from the UK) is going to have that label applied. It doesn't fit. This is a show in its own right, and any comparisons to Dwarf are going to falter. If anything, it reminds me more of large chunks of Lexx.The first episode was pretty dire (IMO) but then again, first episodes so often are. I continued watching - and I'm glad I did. It manages a nice balance between comedy, insanity, and tension and sometimes even pathos. Rather than having certain personality traits being running gags, they are worked into character development (Jeffers and Vine, Henderson and York, Sandstrom's backstory, which has a black, pathetic slant to it and Teal working through her own possibly-unrequited-possibly-not love for Henderson).It's not for everyone, and don't expect pure insane comedy - like Black Books or M*A*S*H, it can have the insanity, but mixed in are moments that pause you and actually make you connect with the characters. (Far more than Dwarf really explored) As the season progressed, it definitely found its feet, with each progressive ep better and better.Bring on Season Two. It's just starting to hit its stride.
