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.

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

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.

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...

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!
