Space Force

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...

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 !

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

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.
