When I heard that Steve Carell was going to play the lead role in a comedy about America's "Space Force," I had to give this a go.
I found Carell's General Naird underwhelming. He doesn't have the magic that he had on The Office, and the characters underneath him aren't sure whether he's a tyrant or just a buffoon.
Except for one: Dr. Mallory, played by John Malcovich. He's the one who saves this show. He sees right through Naird's bluster and foolishness. He doesn't get swept away by the jingoism of the Space Force, yet he's not preachy about how he truly brings Naird, and therefore us, down to earth with his gentle, authoritative voice.
Beyond that, don't expect too much. It's worth a weekend binge, but not much more.

Which is a good thing. Space Force shares The Office's creator Greg Daniels and lead actor Steve Carell but that's about where the similarities should stop.
Space Force is a political satire comedy that aims to portray the ridiculousness of trying to militarise space (and earth to an extent), and it does this extremely well.
Some people have expected The Office in space, or The Office in a military setting, and those people will be disappointed. To them I say, move on and enjoy this for what it is.
This is NOT The Office, it's Space Force, and that's why its great.

I've seen both seasons for Space Force, and I have to say a quite enjoy them, they are far from genius or ground breaking, it's just a relatively easy going type of comedy.
I believe the bad reviews stem a lot from high expectations, specially since we have the creative mind behind The Office partnering with Steve Carrell, so people probably had this subconscious hope that this would be as good or even better than the highly successful US remake.
It's for sure not The Office, but if you just accept that, don't think too much about the ridiculous and unrealistic situations depicted on the show, you will have a good time.
It's an entertaining comedy, with some small pinches of well timed social criticism, specially in US context (and this is from someone not from the US) and it has kept me engaged for the full 17 episodes so far.
It has made me laugh several times, with the exaggerated characters and the comments they share on all these situations that they find themselves in, and somehow it seems the cast is having a genuine good time, it doesn't feel forced it's almost as if they are just rolling the camera and let them give they're approach to the scene.
It's a feel good type of show and I look forward to the upcoming seasons since they are smart enough to keep the episodes short and not filling the seasons with too many episodes.
Also John Malkovich and Steve Carrell chemistry is on point!

There are lots of subtle (and not so subtle) stabs at American politics. This series basically is one big parody on Tr*mp's former Space War plans. Tr8mp supporters might not like this Season 1.
The good: an original, slowburning comedy with terrific actors and especially John Malkovich is brilliant in his role as a peace loving scientist, who works for the newly created American military Space Force.
There is 1 problem though with this Space Force, they are going WAY over budget and they have nothing to show for it. Lots of nifty lies and fake news (that are hilarious) are being spread to make the new Space Force look extremely important though...
Quite funny...but it is not a laugh out loud kind of funny. The subtle (some less subtle) jokes elicit more smirky kind of laughs, because lots of people (American politicians, American military) constantly get made fun of through parody.
Any bad? It's first most a subtle parody and not a laugh out loud comedy. I liked this parody, but some will expect many simple jokes like in The Office. They will be disappointed though...
ADDITIONAL note posted in 2022: Season 2 is fortunately also really enjoyable to watch. And it has got a few more laugh out loud moments, compared to the more subtle humor from Season 1. Although I personally am more a fan of the more subtle humor from Season 1...

"Space Force" trade marked by Netflix before the United State government, this Steve Carell comedy is surprising. Not a particular fan of Carell's typical low-brow comedy, but somehow this contemporary comedic vehicle retains a wry intellectual wit about it, probably greatly helped along with the dynamism between Carell and award-winning actor, John Malkovich. The fresh take and parody of America's newest military branch has delightful scenes that pit science versus human intuition along with a decent rather unique set of family dynamics. Each episode somehow incorporates a sensitive and powerful emotive message and performance by Carell. An entertaining and actually captivating series that easy and fun to watch along with a heartful storyline.

- WissenswertesNetflix trademarked the name "Space Force" during production in early 2019. In December 2019, President Trump renamed the existing "Air Force Space Command" branch to simply "Space Force", and wanted to trademark the name, but found it couldn't because Netflix had done so first.
- PatzerWild Horse is in eastern Colorado, over two hours from NORAD, and extremely flat, more like Kansas. There are no mountains visible. The "town" is actually about half a dozen homes and a post office, no businesses at all.
