Plot
Four kids make a mysterious discovery on their home planet that leads them to get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Jude Law in « Skeleton Crew »; plus more stars from a galaxy far, far away. The holographic circus that entertains Neel’s younger siblings is the same one that Chewbacca’s family watches in the infamous « Star Wars » Christmas special (1978).
Crazy Drawing: Stupid, Old, Deadly Bear (2022)
I think the show is great so far, but there’s one problem that really annoys me: the runtime. When I watched the first episode, I was so happy it was about 40 minutes long. Then came the second episode: if you count the flashbacks and credits, it’s not even 25 minutes long.
If I get 25 minutes of a show every week, I have to watch what happened the week before
Once you can’t really lose yourself in space, you get used to it and that’s it. Incredibly unsatisfying! I’ll probably not watch it for months and will try to avoid spoilers so I can watch the whole thing next year.
As for the actors: my god, these are kids
You can tell they didn’t have years of acting training. Still, the characters are likeable, the music works, and the plot isn’t exactly kid-friendly. After two episodes, I can’t wait to see what happens next, but unfortunately I won’t find out until next year.
