2/10
Not good.

The only thing worse than a show that doesn't make sense is a supposed comedy that isn't funny. So James Buckley gets transported to parallel universe by wearing a bracelet that was being shipped in that universe but somehow ended up at his house. Seriously, that's the premise. I knew I should have stopped watching at that point but I didn't. I made the mistake of trying to give this show a chance and five episodes in it hasn't gotten any better. I don't mind that it doesn't make sense, I can deal with that. It's harder to forgive it for not being funny. To make things even worse the running story line is him trying to get home. Which we know won't happen. Even sadder is that they always open with his former co-workers being glad he's gone and foreshadowing his return. And the parallel universe is just silly. It's the middle ages with a bunch of weird animals but they all use modern day British slang. I see that a lot of people here compare it to Red Dwarf which is funny for two reasons. First, Red Dwarf sucked so that explains why this sucks but more importantly, why would you want an unoriginal show? I wish I had more hands so I could give this show four thumbs down.
