Moonbase 8 Review 2020 Tv Show Series Season Cast Crew Online

Creators: Fred Armisen, Tim Heidecker, Jonathan Krisel

Stars: John C. Reilly, Tim Heidecker, Fred Armisen

The original premise for Mondbasis 8, a new comedy by John C. Reilly, Tim Heidecker, Fred Armisen and Jonathan Krisel, was one who was rooted in the isolated horror of The thing– A group of people stuck in a remote area facing the unknown together. Like the creature in John Carpenter’s classic science fiction film, this idea quickly took on a new form and eventually evolved into a successful office comedy that overtook other newcomers to the workspace genre.

Mondbasis 8 The stars Reilly, Heidecker and Armisen are three budding astronauts who train in one of NASA’s moon camps in the US desert. Each member of the group has primarily a nickname – Robert “Cap” Caputo (Reilly), Dr. Michael “Skip” Henai (Armisen) and Professor Scott “Rook” Sloan (Heidecker) – and save Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chief’s close end, throwing his weight around as if they were already on the moon. They all come to NASA from different walks of life: Cap, a scenic helicopter tour pilot, claims to be a soldier, while Skip is following in his astronaut father’s footsteps and Rook mainly wants to “spread the gospel of Jesus Christ” into the universe. “Kelce’s presence is synonymous with stunt casting (from NASA, not Showtime), but even he quickly finds his way out of its depths.

The six-episode season kicks off on the group’s 200th day of training, which is also their 200th day of relative isolation from the rest of the world. You still get regular drops of supplies from NASA, as well as snail mail and video calls with family, signs of normalcy that create friction throughout the season. The group has created its own balance, dividing work and domestic work, all with the aim of joining the 12 people before them who were on the moon – or so they think. Mondbasis 8 has a few surprises in store for its aspiring astronauts and viewers, but how Another roomThe driving force is comedy, which occurs in cramped living situations, and the observation of some well-intentioned doofuses collaborating on seemingly scientific experiments at the high school level.

The premieres of 2020 cannot be ignored Allee 5and Space forces when traveling to Mondbasis 8as all three shows follow groups of people ill-equipped to cope with the rigors of space travel no matter how much money they have. But privatization and politicization space exploration weigh more heavily Allee 5 and Space forcesas well as a touch of cynicism. An unsuitable crew means disaster in Armando Iannucci’s latest HBO and, to a lesser extent, in the Netflix collaboration between Steve Carell and Greg Daniels. Mondbasis 8Meanwhile, hubris is exchanged for awe while feet are firmly on the desert floor. The Showtime series is aware of the limitations of its crew. Mondbasis 8The leads are just as prone to selfishness and myopia as the spaceship captain and the military leaders of their fellow programmates.

However, when their pretend mission is at stake, these three Jedermann get into action and provide ample opportunity for the series to shine. The story of the collaboration between the series’ executive producers and writers – Krisel directed many episodes of Armisen Portlandia, on which Heidecker performed while Reilly and Heidecker created together Listen! With Dr. Steve Brule– helps Mondbasis 8 Take a few hurdles early in the season. Even if the premise feels too familiar after similar comedies(not to mention the recent space dramas) Heidecker, Reilly, and Armisen create enough strange chemistry to power a remote lunar base. Reilly brings with her the childlike gullibility that made her Stepbrothersan ongoing festival of laughter over arrested development, while Heidecker once again crosses the line between devoted and insane. As Skip, Armisen works hardest to keep the group on track, but he throws himself into the battle of his character with “Space Madness”. Mondbasis 8 has a few spicy guest stars too, but they can’t beat the main act.

Though the stakes are low for a large part of MondbasisIn the first season – cap and crew win small victories, but never seem to be in danger of endangering NASA’s reputation – the finale is surprisingly climatic, with exciting music and feverish communication via the headset. It works as a stand-alone series and leaves room for more episodes. And if one of those “workspace comedies” is able to break out of the other’s orbit, this is it Mondbasis 8despite its relatively inexpensive production. The series is much more a piece with the generosity of Ted Lasso than the desolation of Allee 5 and Space forces– Anytime you are aware of your characters’ flaws but never let them outweigh their ability to do better.
