- ርልዪረ26 januari 2025Having grown up watching the mid-series (IV, V and VI) in the early nineties on the BBC, I picked this box set up having foolishly lent all my individual series remasters to someone from uni I haven't seen since. Presentation is a bit grotty and cheap looking in regards to the title menus, but that's totally acceptable at the price. It was quite refreshing to watch the original transfers, it certainly added to the charm knowing you're watching the 'original' cuts. As a brief rundown of the quality of the series, they follow a trajectory moving from character comedy more into situational comedy as more money was made available. Series 1 and 2 focus more on close knit character humour (with brilliant writing for the burgeoning relationship between Lister and Rimmer, especially in the fantastic 'Thanks for the Memory'), through series 3 and 4 where the concepts and ideas began to be developed a bit more as Starbug allowed travel to other settings (plus, pleasingly, character development of the Cat from marginal - I'd forgotten quite how marginal in the first series - to a major player, along with the welcome addition of Kryten). I personally feel RD peaked in series V and VI, where the writing was sharp as a tack and some of the ideas and settings fantastic. All 4 characters are well developed and there is a brilliant 'cockpit' dynamic with quick pacing and superb banter between all. Hardly a dud episode in those 2 series, but many classics, Quarantine, Back to Reality, Legion and Gunmen of the Apocalypse probably the best. To be honest, upon recent rewatching, it struck me quite how atrocious series VII and VIII are. Series VII has some nice conceptual ideas, for example in Tikka to Ride, the season opener, but the humour once Rimmer departs is very flat and Kryten goes from being wonderfully dry and cynical in the preceding 2 series (I feel he owns Series V) to some squeaky, irritating and frankly irrational character who seems to suffer from a complete personality reset and emerges wholly unfunny and quite embarrassing. Kochanski tries her hardest, but the cast are working with substandard material and it shows. Season VIII suffers similarly, although Chris Barrie is back (which saves it from being a complete car crash). Some of the episodes in Season VII and VIII are utterly dire, so be warned. High Points: Future Echoes, Thanks for the Memory, Queeg, Marooned, The Last Day, Justice, Most of Series V and VI Low Points: Series VII and VIII almost without exception, sadly (Tikka to Ride and Cassandra can make a case). A couple of duds from the earlier series like Body Swap and DNA which whilst not being atrocious, aren't up to the high standards of that around them.
- Callum24 december 2025⭐⭐⭐⭐½ – Red Dwarf – British absurdity drifting joyfully through deep space. Red Dwarf is one of those shows that feels utterly singular. Sci-fi, sitcom, philosophy, slapstick, and existential dread all mashed together and somehow working. Yes, the technical jumps can be a bit jarring when binge-watching — leaping from fuzzy 480p to crisp HD almost feels like an unplanned regeneration — but oddly, that only adds to the charm. This is a show that has always evolved in fits and starts, and it wears that history openly. The humour is unapologetically British: dry, sarcastic, occasionally bleak, and often smarter than it lets on. If you lean more toward British comedy than American, this will feel like home. If you don’t, it might take a few episodes to click — but once it does, it really does. The jokes aren’t always loud, but they linger, and many of the best ones sneak up on you while pretending to be silly. The premise is gloriously ridiculous, which is exactly why the cast changes, tonal shifts, and narrative leaps work as well as they do. When your core setup involves the last human alive, a hologram, a humanoid cat, and a neurotic mechanoid drifting through space, almost anything feels plausible. That flexibility lets the show reinvent itself without losing its identity. It’s also surprisingly rewarding to look back and realise just how many familiar faces came out of Red Dwarf. Spotting later favourites in earlier, stranger roles is half the fun — especially when you suddenly clock that someone you loved elsewhere once prowled corridors in a cat suit. Red Dwarf isn’t just a comedy or a sci-fi show. It’s a long-running, deeply odd comfort watch — clever, stupid, philosophical, and juvenile all at once — and somehow better for it. 🥃 Pairing: A classic British ale or a simple whisky and ginger — nothing flashy, just something reliable and slightly nostalgic to sip while drifting through space with the boys from the Dwarf.
- marlie.jane4 juli 2025The chemistry between the entire ensemble makes Red Dwarf the best show I've ever watched, and I could watch it again and again. infact i have xxx 10/10
- Scott beard16 december 2025Red Dwarf stands as one of Britain’s most enduring and inventive sci-fi comedies. Blending classic sitcom structure with speculative science fiction, the show thrives on character-driven humour and philosophical absurdity. Its genius lies in finding profound comedy in loneliness, identity, and the human condition all wrapped in slapstick, wit, and unforgettable characters. Decades after its first broadcast, Red Dwarf remains a benchmark for smart, imaginative comedy that proves great writing and chemistry outlast budgets or special effects! 😊👌👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
- annaho4513 juli 2025One of my top ten shows that I could repeatedly watch over and over if I was stuck on an island or drifting in outer space.

- Richard18 oktober 2025Saw this one on TV in the late '80s or early '90s. British sci-fi comedy at its weirdest and best. Dave Lister, the last human alive, wakes up 3 million years in the future aboard a mining ship with a hologram of his dead bunkmate, a humanoid cat and eventually a neurotic mechanoid named Kryten. It’s low-budget, high-concept and full of brilliant banter. The sets wobble, the effects are charmingly dodgy, but the writing? Sharp as a smeghead’s insult. Series I and II are pure character comedy, Lister vs. Rimmer, the odd couple in space. Series III and IV expand the universe with Starbug, Cat’s evolution and Kryten’s dry sarcasm. Series V and VI? Peak Red Dwarf. Fast-paced, clever and packed with classics like Quarantine, Back to Reality and Gunmen of the Apocalypse. Series VII and VIII? Bit of a mess. Rimmer leaves, Kryten gets squeaky and the humor flatlines. Still, even the duds have charm. I love this series. Own it on DVD and rewatch it regularly. It’s not just sci-fi, it’s sarcasm, survival and smeg.
- GnomeSlice26 september 2025All-timer. British sci-fi comedy that lands, and (mostly) avoids cringe moments. Great cast chemistry and jokes, and surprisingly good sci-fi scenarios.
