We started Avenue 5 tonight.
If you don't know what that is, you're not alone. It was an HBO show released in 2020 that basically fell straight off the radar.
It stars Hugh Laurie as the mediocre captain of a luxury space cruise that suffers a disaster that turns it's 6 week journey in to a 3 year journey.
The owner of the organization is an Elon Musk type, who is also a passenger on the ship when it gets knocked off course.

@ajroach42 Avenue 5 is a good show with one absolutely transcendent comedy sequence -- the kind of scene comedy nerds will be bringing up 50 years from now.
If you're just going in I won't spoil it for you, I will just say that the show dropped right as COVID was taking off and dear god did that scene seem relevant

@jalefkowit when the passengers keep walking out the airlock, or is there a different sequence you’re thinking of? the airlock one absolutely killed me (and them)

@ajroach42 I loved this show… I get why it didn't take off, super uneven first season, but plenty of shows have had worse starts and gotten another shot.
