This is a short attempt at a review of this spaced themed cartoon I watched on Netflix the other night, the show is called "Final Space", I think I started watching it because the vibe reminded me of this old Sierra game called "Space Quest" that I used to play as a kid...

The show spoofs many classic spaces movies like 2001: A Space Odyssey, and the creator (Olan Rogers and crew) borrow heavily from other cartoons such as Futurama, Rick and Morty and various video-games.
But "Final Space" is a unique piece of space cartoon fiction in its own, and well I really loved it... The show has everything a good space cartoon needs: Action, Comedy, Adventure, Romance and Despair...
But it's really the gritty and well drawn space environments and the amazing animation and coloring-job together with the interesting characters and the consistent storytelling that makes this show so well worth watching.
Gary's day to day life on the ship "Galaxy One" reminds me a bit of my life on Steemit.com, Gary is lonely and he initially has only "bots" as companions... =)
Here are some of the characters:
The hero: "Gary"
Basically a piece of impulsive selfish space-garbage,
(Gary grows on you as the show continues).
The ugly cute sidekick: "Mooncake"
A small cute green cuddly creature, that is hiding something...
The reckless and annoying sidekick: "KVN"
A hovering robot who is some sort of companion/prison guard.
The bad ass ice queen/unrequited love of our hero Gary: "Quinn"
It gets quantum level complicated...
The bounty hunter with a shady past "Avocato"
Classic anti-hero, "space scum" kind of guy...
The evil super villain "Lord Commander"
This guy is very very evil and powerful...
Apparently the series has reached more than 20 million viewers and there is a second season of Final Space on it's way! So jump on the bandwagon and we can watch "Final Space" and finally chill together in harmony!
