"Avenue 5"

I've just started watching "Avenue 5" and so far it's pretty funny. A large space liner run by a figurehead captain (Hugh Laurie) gets knocked off course and won't return for 3 years. The chief engineer (and real captain) didn't like people and so stayed hidden, when a malfunction occurs he gets killed. Chaos ensues.

Is it a Sky 1 show? If so I cannot get it as I refuse to give Rupert Murdoch any more of my money. Have found a few write-ups and it does look funny.

You can tell it's an American "comedy". Really hard to watch. Even harder to find anything funny in it. Very few likeable characters

It's written by Armando Iannucci who is a Scot. :) I like Matt Spencer (played by Zach Woods), he's the head of customer relations and appears to be nuts.
