....and it was cancelled within a few months of that.
But damn it, I'm going to try again. And this time, I hope I don't cause the demise of something I truly enjoy.
Avenue 5 comes from the mind of Armando Iannucci. The man responsible for Veep (something I fully intend to watch now that I've seen Avenue 5) and the insanely funny Death of Stalin, which I have watched three times now (I keep forcing friends to watch it).
Rounding out the cast is Zach Woods as the head of the marketing/PR section for the ship; and Lenora Crichlow as Billie, the chief engineer.
There's a bunch of others who make up the rest of the crew and passengers, but there are too many to go into in one post. Needless to say, they're all pretty damn funny.
It's two seasons in at this point, with the finale for season 2 airing last night. While season 1 is funny enough, season 2 is where the cast really starts firing on all cylinders and the insanity of the story takes off.
It's ludicrous at times, often improbable, and over the top on quite a few occasions. But there are never long stretches where I'm not laughing.
