For the biggest show (by sheer runtime) I’ve covered for Off the Beaten Path, we go back to the year 1974 to see some astronauts crash land in the year 3084. There, they find not a world of man, but a world of apes.

Off the Beaten Path is a deep dive TV show review series by yours truly, Joseph MacMaster. These are shows that I’ve seen that I enjoyed when I first watched them over the years. Shows that I’ve been meaning to watch and now have the perfect excuse to. There are even some that are both. The one thing they all have in common; all are shows that haven’t left much of a cultural footprint here in America, and all deserve our attention.
For this installment of “Off the Beaten Path”, I go back to the year 1983 to look at a show about an alien invasion that’s becoming more and more prescient by the day.
For this (rather elephantine and spoiler-filled) installment of Off the Beaten Path, I cover Top of the Lake, one of the best and darkest crime-miniseries of the last 10 years.
For this installment of Off the Beaten Path, I review a cult favorite visual mixtape/the most out there show I’ve reviewed yet.
For this installment of Off the Beaten Path, I look at FLCL, one of the weirdest bits of animation I’ve seen. Plus, there are a lot of robot fights and dick jokes. What’s not to love?
For this installment of Off the Beaten Path, I review Crashing, Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s other TV show from 2016.
For the first of my season reviews on Off the Beaten Path, I review the Ralpha Bakshi animated anthology Spicy City, a show forgotten by everyone including it’s home network.
I give my final thoughts and impressions on “Other Space”. The question is, was this show cancelled too soon, and how does it stand compared to the other shows on “Off the Beaten Path”.

While Stewart and A.R.T. fight a potential drug addiction to make contact with an alien in his dreams, Karen ends up in HR Arbitration against Michael.
