The characters are caricatures and often behave they way they to drive the plot in a certain direction rather than in a way that makes sense. But if you can get past that, there is enjoyment to be had with this fun space romp, reminiscent of space adventures like Cowboy Bebop. (

I can tell that the creators wanted it to be a funny and fast-paced romp, but I found it it to be simply generic and boring. (
