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

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

It earned three Oscar nominations and countless fans but Spike Jonze’s 1999 film “Being John Malkovich” could not initially count John Malkovich among them.

Space Forceis ready for liftoff. The Netflix series, which hit the streaming service Friday, sees star Steve Carell reunitewithThe Officecreator Greg Daniels for another satirical show.

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.

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.

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.

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.
