Red Dwarf
It’s hard to feel like you’re the last man alive when you’re constantly bothered by the hologram of your dead shipmate, a fashion-mad mutation of your cat, a fastidious automaton, and a sarcastic computer, but that’s all Dave Lister has left on the deep space mining ship Red Dwarf. The ultimate band of misfits, The Odd Couple strung-out to an odd quartet, but what I admire most is the complete lack of heroism. Everyone’s in a situation they didn’t ask for and will take the path of least resistance to get out of. Ultimately, it’s a melancholic musing on what it really means to be alive at all, and if hell is being trapped your friends, being trapped with your irritants might actually turn out to be a palatable alternative. Would like to think I’m Holly, but I’m probably, well, Holly, actually.
