Personal Space<\/em> is just plain fun.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s a sci-fi comedy-drama in 28 five-minute episodes, and it’s streaming on Amazon Prime right now. Five minutes is the kind of time investment that I can really get behind.<\/div>\n

Personal Space is about a crew on a generation ship that talks to a therapy computer– but since the ship launched, reality show makers bought the ship from the space program, and are broadcasting it to Earth. Some serious stuff on the ship is juxtaposed with the very funny, goofy reality show parts that are happening on Earth, unknown to the crew.<\/p>\n

The crew serves in 25-year shifts, but this time the leader of the previous crew– the late, great Battlestar Galactica star Richard Hatch– doesn’t want to pass the baton to the new captain. Naturally, hijinks ensue.<\/p>\n

The ensemble stars Nicki Clyne, who was Cally Tyrol on the revived Battlestar Galactica, as well as Kurt Yaeger, Greg the Peg from Sons of Anarchy<\/em>, Tim Russ from Star Trek Voyager<\/em>, and Cliff Simon, Ba’al from Stargate SG-1<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The show is dedicated to Mr. Hatch. I met him a handful of times at Dragon Con’s American Sci-Fi Classics track, and he was unfailingly brilliant, funny, and personable.

<\/p>\n

In a way, it’s tough to watch Personal Space<\/em> because of Hatch’s passing. More so, though, it’s cool to see him here. He’s clearly having a ball along with this really cool cast.


\nThe creators thought too hard about the intricate details and backstory of the show, and I mean that as an extreme compliment. The story establishes in a timeline where humans went to the stars in the 1990s, complete with a Ronald Reagan voiceover.<\/p>\n

\nThe 28 episodes range from silly to serious, then back to silly, in each episode. It’s well worth the binging vortex you will find yourself in.
