SF comedy, sympathetically parodying Anglo-American adventure SF, such as Star Trek from a Quebecois point of view. Cf. and contrast GALAXY QUEST, Seth MacFarlane's The Orville, and Red Dwarf of BBC Two (1988-99).[3]

IMDb logline: "In the year 2034, the Earth is in a catastrophic state. Thus, the Romano-Fafard, a spaceship commanded by the Capitaine Patenaude, is sent to discover another planet."[4]

Reviewed by Amy J. Ransom in SFRA Review #292 (Winter 2010): pp. 27-28.[5]

As with parody generally, see for foregrounding tropes that can be missed in more earnest works.
