Space Force Isn't Exactly What You Expect It To Be

“Space Force” isn’t a great series. Far from it.

Actor Hector Duran can currently be seen in Netflix’s new comedy “Space Force”, starring Steve Carell as General Mark Naird, tapped by the White House to lead the newest branch of America’s armed forces.

Steve Carell’s new comedy Space Force has rocketed to the top of America’s Netflix on-demand chart.

AOC is getting time on the small screen.

In this very moment, and for the last three years of our current administration, American idiocy, political and otherwise, seems so pungently ripe for ridicule. So, when the creators of “The Office” and Steve Carrell announced they were creating a “Space Force” show for Netflix to mock the real-life initiative promoted by the oafish President Donald Trump and his inept White House, the premise and series seemed like a slam dunk that should easily write itself.

I'm just going to come right out and say it: The new Netflix comedySpace Force is a complete and utter disappointment. When you look at the creative minds behind Space Force — Steve Carell reuniting with The Office creator Greg Daniels! — it should be The Right Stuff of space comedies.

It’s all about your crew.

For the first time since leaving The Office in 2011, Steve Carell is back in a TV comedy with Netflix's Space Force. Carell co-created the series with Greg Daniels, the man behind NBC's The Office, and stars as General Mark Naird, the head of the newest branch of the military, Space Force.

Hoo boy. Let's not sugarcoat anything: Netflix's new comedySpace Force is a massive disappointment. When you look at who's involved in Space Force — Steve Carell reuniting with The Office creator Greg Daniels! — it should be The Right Stuff of space comedies. But despite its pedigree and the pile of money Netflix threw behind it, it's more of a sleek, high-powered, expensive rocket that tips over and explodes on a school bus full of children before it can even launch.

Steve Carell has said his new Netflix comedy is politically “fluid” rather than “hyper-political.”

Lisa Kudrow has said she had no idea the US Space Force was a real initiative announced by Donald Trump when she signed up for a new Netflix comedy of the same name.

The US Office creator Greg Daniels takes aim at America’s rekindled space race in this new comedy starring Steve Carell. Carell plays a long-serving general who finds himself enlisted to head up the new Space Force, a haphazard team charged with getting to the moon, again. Lisa Kudrow, Noah Emmerich and John Malkovich co-star.

Lisa Kudrow had “no idea” that there was a real-life Space Force while she was filming a Netflix comedy about the military agency.
