Steve Carell's Netflix comedy 'Space Force' tops this week's TV must-sees

13 Reasons Why has shot to the top of the Netflix charts in the U.S.

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 a long weekend, the weather is glorious and tragedy of tragedies we’re all pretty much stuck at home but nevermind.

Hollywood stars are taking a stand. On Monday night, Minnesota resident George Floyd, an African-American man, died at the age of 46 after a white police officer pinned his knee against Floyd's neck, while he struggled for air and begged for his life.

A number of Hollywood stars on Thursday said they made a donation to a fund meant to help bail out Minneapolis protesters. Some of those bold-faced names include Seth Rogen, Steve Carell and Ben Schwartz.

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.”

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.

Steve Carell doesn’t really want to go to space.
