Red Dwarf
« on: June 26, 2020, 07:01:17 pm »
I started watching episodes of Red Dwarf the other day.
It is more comedy than space travel/exploration.
I don't think it is for me, but some may think it humorous.

Red Dwarf is deservedly iconic from Series 3 to Series 6. From Series 7, it is obvious, from the writing, that one half of the writing partnership left the franchise and the comedy lost something special.

It came back (but not the co-writer) in Series 8 but for me it can end at Series 6 with no real loss, not to mention it being a really good way to end it.

This show cracks me up
 I was in Sheffield once visiting friends. There was one very funny episode I was laughing so hard and crying they were finding me funny.

I even did a scene in acting from the show. I did it cause I was told I do comedy well.

I think I only watch like 3 seasons or only one and stop. Funny not interested to watch the others.

My library does not have Season 3-6 and it's not on Netflix.
Any idea who may be streaming those seasons?

Oh, I have them in Amazon Prime (UK) but I suspect your mileage will vary.
