    its a blast

    Really enjoyed this Peters is funny and has some pretty good acting chops, Shatner is fantastic for a normal stiff he show top acting as a heavy.

    The indian girl is just to beautiful to not like and she's a decent actress, this was left a little open for a 2nd season but not that the 1st was compromised.
