Hugh Laurie stars in this series set in a future in which travelling the solar system has become big business.
Series premiere. When a malfunction occurs aboard the luxury space cruise ship Avenue 5, it's up to engineer Billie McEvoy to warn Captain Ryan Clark, Avenue 5 owner Herman Judd and his right-hand-woman Iris Kimura that the incident may have a cataclysmic knock-on effect. As Rav Mulcair manages the situation from mission control back on Earth, Matt Spencer, the head of customer relations, tries his best to calm frayed nerves on board, and persistent passenger Karen Kelly discovers the crew may know more than they're letting on.
Ryan får høre en mer optimistisk teori om skipets fremtid. Judd skjenker en overdådig gave når en av mannskapet begraves.
With Avenue 5 staff slacking in their customer service, Ryan offers Karen the opportunity to channel her unique talent for speaking the passengers' language. Judd outlines the plan for a rescue mission and tasks Iris with organizing a vigil on Earth to raise the money to fund it. Rav endures a barrage of messages from the ship and handles an unruly press conference.
With Judd worried about his reputation, Iris arranges a meet-and-greet with several passengers in his luxury suite. Frustrated by a bridge crew with no answers, Ryan and Billie bond with the engineers below deck. Matt encourages Frank to become the man he always wanted to be.
Billie søker ros for å ha hjulpet Ryan under romskipets siste krise, og Judd avgjør at Halvveis-hjemme-festen skal gå som planlagt.
As Avenue 5 celebrates the birth of a space baby, Ryan and Billie try to identify the source of an incessant beeping, and Judd shares his latest grand idea at Karen's passenger-crew liaison meeting. In the nation's capital, Rav appeals to the President for rescue funds but, in exchange, is faced with an ethical dilemma.
Judd får Ryan til å sjarmere en fryktinngytende, søkkrik passasjer. Rav håndterer media.
Karen samler inn unødvendige saker som kan kastes ut, mens avsindige passasjerer har tenkt ut en konspirasjonsteori.
Sesongfinale. Matt går langt for å dempe sin dårlige samvittighet, og et sete i en redningskapsel fører til kaos i romskipet.
