Summary
Sheltered is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi sitcom, starring Gemma Whelan, Sindhu Vee, Rufus Hound and Marek Larwood. Other parts are played by Wilf Scolding, Alana Ramsey, Felicity Duncan and C Grezo.
It’s been centuries since Armageddon and no one has ever left the bunker that has sustained what remains of civilised human life....
When innocent simpleton Gary and social climber Veronica are sent to explore the world outside, they soon regret ever leaving the safety, soft furnishings and quilted toilet paper of Fallout Shelter 7421.
As they reluctantly join forces with the (frankly unjustifiably) arrogant pirate, Lady Reaver, to find their way back, they are forced to reckon with a wasteland of hellishly psychotic robots, hairy radioactive mega-badgers, and slavering cannibals.

not even remotely funny
Finished two episodes to give it a reasonable chance. The story is extremely thin and the mild attempts at social sarcasm just are too obvious to even raise smile. Avoid.

Boring
I gave up after two episodes due to the very boring characters and story. The production and performances are pretty good though.
