Mister walks out of prison with ten days to spare and immediately steals the entire show from the federal agent who was supposed to be the lead. The first two episodes are a masterclass in how to sell a space heist with charm and velocity, but the show collapses into uneven execution the moment it tries to sustain that energy. If you catch those opening episodes at the right angle, you'll understand why people worship this thing despite its spectacular stumble, and why nobody's made another space western outlaw comedy quite like it since.

Mister is a coyote, a space outlaw, who has spent a year in prison for a traffic offence. Ten days before his release, he breaks out with help from his old partners Bishop and Katana. He then finds Franka, a girl her late father left in his care, and sets off with her to find her father's treasure. Close behind them are federal investigators Angelica and Chelsea, along with Madame Marciano's Twelve Sisters, android assassins working for the Criminal Guild. The twelve episodes mix action, adventure, comedy and mecha in a sci-fi setting.
