IR VERDICT:
Take a clueless yet charming bisexual protagonist with a strong grasp of Shakespeare (and not much else), add some cursory sci-fi set dressing, and you have A JACK IN THE DARK: half space drama, half sex comedy. And while it isn’t heavy on long words or logical plot, it’s a perfect fit for lovers of fast-paced, lighthearted, sci-fi-flavored camp.
