Space Force

"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.

I don't understand some of these negative reviews at all because Space Force is a pretty good show! People really need to stop expecting The Office and Mike Scott because it's not...nothing is! Carell, Malkovich & Schwartz are all great as usual! Most of the people who don't like it are comparing it to The Office. I get that it's not for everyone but I found it to be be a pretty good show that's worth watching.

Not for everyone, but from an European eye I've found that hilarious. A lot of jokes about American politics, POTUS & twitter, Pelosi, Ocasio-Cotez. The duo Carrel-Malkovitch works so good, true connection. Easy to binge, very refreshing, go for it !

One thing I cannot stand about today's entertainment is that politics seem to be taking over everything... HOWEVER, Space Force does it right. Slightly left leaning but still takes a few jabs at the left. The jabs at both sides are light hearted and in my opinion shouldn't offend anyone. If you're going to do political satire it's best not to let one side take all the blows. I think there is a great balance in this show and the jokes don't completely ridicule someone's opinion (okay it goes pretty hard at the idea of a Space Force but seriously, lighten up). Yes it makes fun of the current administration, but it's little things that everyone can laugh at. Besides, there were obvious hits at AOC and Pelosi as well.

No, it's not The Office in any way, shape, or form, and not all the jokes land on their feet, but I recall watching the first season of The Office feeling it was a 7 at best. It just took some time to understand the characters and humor and I think it'll be the same for Space Force.

My advice is go in without thinking of The Office, without thinking of Michael Scott, and don't take the political SATIRE to heart...

After having spent 20 years in the Air Force, there are so many similarities to how things actually get done in the military, that it's hard to believe it's fiction. I think that's where people will have a problem with the show. Those who know, will watch and and be like "yep, I've seen that before" and laugh; others will be like "this is so stupid and unreal". It reminds me a lot of Tropic Thunder where Hollywood insiders got all the jokes and the general public didn't. I'm not sure how much research they did in writing the script, but those who know how the military works will laugh at it.
