Ouch. I watched the first episode thinking 'this could be good. The second episode thinking 'this could get good'. But the rest? I watched thinking 'could this be so bad that it is good?' It never got good in any way.
It actually looks like they put some thought and money into the production values. Most of the cast is perfectly capable of doing a good job (I have seen many of them elsewhere). The writing, and directing seem to be the main problems.
One other problem is the lack of one key element to make comedy work, and that is a 'straight man' character. If you are going to show how shallow the gene pool (in this case the passengers and crew) are, then you need one character that could be recognized as a sort of level indicator (one seemingly sensible person). But there really are no characters aboard that are not consistently bent, broken or just defective.
They do seem to try for a sort of dry wit, but it falls flat most of the time. Having just watched the entire thing for the first time (and last), I would have to suggest that you pass by this one - unless you find watching a passenger buss crash in slow motion to be entertaining. I did not.
