I do not come here to claim that Captain N was a good show, by any means. However, it can be appreciated for two things.
One, it's often hilarious in how stupid it is. The jokes are corny, the characters are ridiculous, the plots often seem stitched together from various separate scripts... and with all that comes a great degree of So Bad Its Good and campy charm.
Second, several episodes have one or two moments that seem uncharacteristically well-written. It's interesting to search for these, because when you find one, you see that something could have worked; and even though it didn't, it's an interesting bit of juxtaposition.
All in all, it can be a good time to watch... even if it's not for the right reasons.
It's all about expectations
