From a marine biologist with a dubious past to pilots with questionable credentials, their flawed humanity is a fertile ground for humour, as their attempts to spearhead humanity's survival turn into a comedy of errors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Part 2, \"Out of this World,\" the narrative veers into the realm of the absurd when a group of psychiatric hospital escapees find themselves on a shuttle to another planet.
