Maintaining the level of "alright" that "Avenue 5" has crept up to after its awful start, the second half of the season starts with this episode that I would describe in a single word review as being "fine".

The Captain (Hugh Laurie) enjoys some time back in the good graces of the passengers and crew following a successful mission to fix the leak outside the ship. Billie (Lenora Critchlow) though feels she should have some of that credit, especially as she actually did the fixing. Meanwhile the ship's stand-up comedian Jordan Hatwall (Himesh Patel) is struggling to perform as both the exterior crises and management meddling are destroying his act.

Maintaining the acceptable level that the show reached following the slow start, episode 5 is alright. It's more of the same, characters I like interspersed with ones I don't. A show that's as amusing as it is annoying. (At least now we're at an even keel in that respect though).

Weakest episode.

Maybe I wasn't focusing enough, but this episode was the weakest.

Going down

I thought the quality of the show was gradually improving. But this episode crushed all my hopes. It was about as funny as Jordan Hatwall's standup comedy. You'll know what i mean if you've seen the episode. This show is in desparate need of better writing. And better jokes!!!

The Real Stink is now public

Nothing like a fun story about human waste. So, are we now going to see tons of human crap floating in space right beside the huge observation windows in all the future episodes? Can' wait! This series had rapidly gone down hill. The story is weak. The actors are weak. Hugh Laurie should be ashamed. There's just now way to turn this around into a good story.

It's worth the build up.

It started slow, but it's definitely picked up and is In full stride with the this latest ep. you can easily see why it started slow by developing the characters over the first few slower eps. The payoff off is real humor.
