Cartoony Cannibalism Humor, etc.
Situational comedy with the super cool premise of a group of terraformers who won’t stick to the mission (a plot worth exploring for sure!). But for me the plot and character development suffer from the sitcom format. The elaborate sound and voice work are highly stylized & cartoony, and though extensive sometimes make the dialog hard to understand and painfully jarring to hear through earbuds. The humor emphasizes the worst things about people & life, so be aware there’s a lot of dismemberment, death, manipulation, sexual harassment, the cannibalism, corporate cruelty, etc., and in a way that seems to deliberately avoid any deeper meaning or things to relate to or learn from. With the lack of “meaning,” that leaves just the humor as the hook. Apparently it’s a type of humor lots of people enjoy. It makes me feel pretty sad, tho, when it lacks bigger context. If this had more coherent plot thread or character arcs I’d probably be all in, despite the style of humor ... or maybe it simply would have been more enjoyable without a marathon listen? Check out the E.L Hob episode from the Human Capital season (the latest one right now) for an extra audio treat.
