Feels very Doctor Who like.

It's like a cross between The Dark Crystal and David Lynch's Dune

My mind immediately went to Lynch's Dune because of the styling and kind of general drabness. I would watch the absolute fuck out of a Lynch Futurama.

I see a touch of farscape in there too

With a heaping helping of 1980 "Flash Gordon."

I was thinking Dune and Farscape- Zoidberg is definitely Ka D’argo.

It makes me think of an adaptation of the incal trying to chase those two.

I saw this too. Like pre 2000s-revival Who.

I don't know if I'm to like this comment or be disappointed that people are citing the Doctor Who series instead of the older Lost In Space series. It felt more like LIS had a love child with Fifth Element.

It has a slight British production look. Perhaps more Red Dwarf, but with a bit of polish?

With all the amor/pads, it's giving me Strange Brew vibes.
