Red Dwarf - Série 10

The initial excitement from this season was obvious. Even despite the fact that the first time I have watched the subtitled version, which was quite a shock for me. Then, I left this season to mature for four years, only so that I could get back to it and get excited about the 11th and 12th seasons, which will be here in no time. By the way, this time, I enjoyed it with dubbing. At that moment I realized that the dubbing really added a lot to it. Especially the magic of the past, which made me feel sixteen again, getting familiar with Red Dwarf for the first time from my couch. And even despite the fact that this season has a lot of weaker spots, where they are only talking, there are still episodes like Lemons and The Beginning, the first of which is the best Red Dwarf has ever offered, and the second one, for a change, showcases that this series definitely doesn’t belong to a graveyard. The remaining episodes are fillers, but they still managed to please me. (04/05/2016)

Although it took them thirteen years, in the end the Dwarf got a decent new season, that doesn’t just rely on it’s name to find it’s place in the spotlight (that’s right, I’m talking about you, you pesky season nine!). The creators achieved something here that you don’t see very often: a comeback in all its glory that made (and still makes) this legend a legend. For example, I would have no qualms at all about inducting episode two into the dwarf hall of fame. And if season eleven is going to be this high quality, I’ll gladly wait another thirteen years for it. (14/10/2012)

When this mismatched group appeared in Back to Earth, I was firmly convinced that it would be their last adventure, one that would symbolically conclude the Red Dwarf escapades on a slightly more serious note. I approached the tenth season without much faith, but I am glad that the six new episodes don't diminish, but instead transform the intermezzo into a stop that spurred Lister to renew old aspirations and desires. Trying to connect with the spirit of incidents that first appeared over a quarter of a century ago was a huge risk, which fortunately paid off. Although half the time the plots are only half-hearted, once the ongoing jokes become more intricate and the storylines escalate, it becomes powerful again. This is thanks in part to the episode Lemons, which I might include among the very best in the entire history of the series. (21/05/2014)

Diplomatically speaking, the hesitant reception of the experimental 9th season prompted the creators of the show to rearm and, for a change, rely on certainty. They carefully considered what worked, and the 10th season is therefore the essence of what made the show attractive in its early seasons. Witty humor, playful banter, and pervasive irony. The trouble is that, despite all the efforts, it simply isn't and cannot be the same as when the same characters were played by actors 25 years younger. Not that the makeup artists didn't give it their best and the actors didn't try, but some things simply cannot be disguised. When young Lister dreams of his future, of Kochanski and children in the early series, the audience roots for him, but here you can see a man who, no matter how you look at it, has spent the greater part of his life on a wreck somewhere deep in space, and it becomes increasingly clear that he has no real purpose. And that leads to more of a sense of anxiety if not something worse... Overall impression: 85%. (10/02/2014)

They’re back with all the trimmings. Jokes with the perfect punchlines, crazy stories and, most importantly, constant quality throughout the season. Lister and his relationship with the vending machine, Jesus and the unforgettable gag with the moose. If it weren’t for the wrinkles on the faces of the crew, these episodes could have come straight out of the golden age of this series, the first three or four seasons. (02/01/2013)

Red Dwarf is back in all its glory (I know, I know, there was no other way to do it with the Cat) and the tenth series is just a joy. The fourth episode, Entangled, is a bit too involved for my taste, but I'm not afraid to rank at least three episodes (with Jesus, Lister and Rimmer's father) among the best with which Red Dwarf has ever assaulted the audience's diaphragms. (07/07/2016)

Meeting Jesus, Lister's sermon to his son, Rimmer's truth about his father, The Cat and his obsession with strings, Kryten and his obsession with towels. It's not lacking in conversation, but also situational comedy. When Kryten polishes and dries the cutlery, you simply can't help but laugh. We also have more and more food dispensing machines appearing, and their role is definitely not marginal. We will also encounter other races, and even experience a galactic battle. Although there are occasional digital tricks that show that this is, after all, a newer version of the old familiar, it is precisely that old familiar that captivates us. Even though the actors are quite older (Chris is 53 years old, Craig is 49 years old, Robert is 57 years old, and Danny is 53 years old), it is not visible in their energy at all. And actually, not even on themselves. I don't know why, but it's like they have rejuvenated since the ninth series. I wish them success and hope that we will get an eleventh series. Hopefully it won't stop there either. "Red Dwarf" will continue to attract new viewers and I will only be glad about it. This humor and these people deserve it. (19/11/2013)
