What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe turns cosmic disaster into a string of awkward, slapstick problems for a well-meaning comic book store owner. Aliens, monsters and zombies crowd into a half-hour comedy that plays its big sci-fi set pieces for silliness rather than horror. Stuart’s bad luck and hapless repair attempts give the end-of-the-world chaos a goofy, affectionate tone.

A university laboratory and a post-apocalyptic dystopia are among the stops in a multiverse story crowded with time travel and paradoxes. The changing settings give Stuart new kinds of trouble, while nerd-culture jokes and awkward banter keep the adventure light and quick. Even with ruined worlds and absurd creatures in the mix, the series stays easygoing rather than dark or gory.
