‘Final Space’ Will Break Your Heart While You Laugh and Ask for More

You know when you see commercials for a show and think, “I should check that out” but never do? That’s how I operate too. I won’t start a new show until I’ve caught up or exhausted everything I’m currently reading or watching. However, this pandemic messed all that up as time became a blur. I remember finding myself with nothing to watch, mad time on my hands, and in the mood for something new. I happened upon a Final Space commercial and decided to finally give it a try. I had seen commercials for this show before but never paid any mind. I figured I’d at least start it to see where the story goes. Little did I know how hard I would go for this show. *walks away from seat for dramatic effect then comes back into to the camera shot* Fam, I thought this shit was going to be a wacky space adventure filled with jokes and cute moments. Nah…. Nahhhhhh man. Final Space goes from funny to heartbreaking right when you least expect it. It’s one thing for a show to be funny, but the way this show uses humor cuts off the jokes with heavy themes of hurt, loss, consequences, family, neglect, loneliness, and so much more. I honestly believe this show deserves to be looked at through the lens as some of the best storytelling, dialogue, and character growth on television right now. Right the fuck now. Be warned we going have some spoilers ahead for seasons 1 through 3. Please watch the show then come back to this if you haven’t already. “It’s Back to Back 4 Life”

There’s so much to …
