The humour is gently satirical and almost soothing. It's a lovely, distracting slice of whimsy.

Moonbase 8 works best if approached as a wholesome balm-the kind of low-stakes show you can watch to lift your spirits.

This is a take-it-or-leave-it kind of show, and in a streaming/premium cable world where so much material is available, there's no pressing need to spend your time on Moonbase 8.

Moonbase 8 is high silliness handled as subtly as possible, built around a familiar concept that's having new life breathed into it.

The series suggests a more conventional comedy, with jokes that are intended to be taken at face value.

There are comedies that go for bigger laughs and those that dig deeper for smarter humor. But, Moonbase 8 finds a low comedy orbit that earns points for being such a metaphor for the times in which we live.

It has one joke -- that these guys are not qualified to go to the moon -- that it kind of limply circles around during the course of each half-hour episode.

A season of warm-up is a lot to ask of viewers, many of whom will find their attention drifting into space long before the Moonbase 8 men ever will.

By the finale, when Rook laments, "When are we going to go to the next level?" I couldn't help but wonder the same about this show.
