In the midst of working off a prison sentence, an astronaut named Gary meets mysterious, planet-destroying alien Mooncake, with whom he immediately bonds. But Gary doesn't realize that his new sidekick is actually in demand by the sinister Lord Commander, who will do all he can to secure Mooncake's untapped evil powers. This animated intergalactic comedy follows Gary and Mooncake's adventures to unlock the mystery of "Final Space," where the universe ends.

Critics Consensus

Final Space doesn't always hit its mark, but for those looking for a bite-sized intergalactic comedy it may prove an amusing diversion.

Final Space is working from a template, but it's adding colors that make these journeys well worth taking.

Like most shows, it falls prey to the rule of "give it a few episodes and then it'll get good," but it's charmingly animated and bite-sized to boot, so it's worth sitting through the shaky opening episodes to get to what lies beyond.

The main problem with Final Space, unfortunately, is its hero: Gary simply isn't an engaging enough character to carry this series.

Space-set animated comedy not that funny, pretty violent.

3.5/5

Final Space dresses itself up as a goofy, nonsensical adventure through outer space, but underneath that costume is a deep, challenging series that strives to be much more than an animated comedy.

4/5

Final Space swerves so severely from comedic beats in one moment to dramatic gut-punches in the next that you'll find yourself laughing just before the wind gets knocked out of you and your jaw hangs open in disbelief.

This is one of the most moving, funny and original series i have ever seen. I would give it 100 stars if i could

I don't think the comedy really landed with me. The main character, Gary, is endearing but overly dramatic. I found him unrealistically trusting and willing to do things for people he just met. Granted, he has been living alone on a spaceship for five years, but it was unenjoyable after seeing him on screen for too long. Not to mention the overly evil villain with a single dimensional motivation. Then there's Avocado, who does an immediate illogical 180 flip from wanting to capture to help Gary. The story itself seems interesting, but the characters themselves are not. The point I stopped watching was episode four where Gary was simping hard for Quinn, and it seems like it'll never stop, which really bothers me.

The main character Gary Gutspeed is serving a five-year sentence on a space prison ship. A week before his release, he meets an alien, whom he calls Gingerbread. Gary could not have imagined that his life would change so dramatically: he would find friends, love and purpose. But, as often happens, not everything is so rosy: Gary will have to save the entire universe. The animated series has an exciting plot, interesting characters and a strikingly beautiful and vibrant world that captured my heart. After watching "Final Space", I had extremely pleasant impressions.

Final Space is honestly one of the most underrated shows out there. It took a few episodes to find its pace but the second half of the first season is when it really hit its stride. There are so many heart wrenching moments and so much feeling in this show. It is an utter, utter crime what has happened to it.
