I think the humour in the first few episodes was Mcfarlens way of sneaking the show past the network suits - he sold it as family guy meets star trek, then switched on them once it was established.

Yeah, guaranteed I would be the first 🤣

Probably!

In England it’s illigal to keep a squirrel in captivity, but it’s also illigal to release a captured squirrel back into the wild, so the only option is to (humanely) kill the poor fucker.
