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.

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.

Tries too hard at times and just not as funny as it wishes it was ........Worth a watch if your bored but don't expect too much

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.

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.
