Steve Carell’s new space series is most popular on Netflix

The protagonists in Judd Apatow movies don’t generally have their stuff together. They are emotionally stunted, occasionally underachieving, unmotivated to change and often even border on unlikable.

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.

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.

Even though Robert Pattinson’s star power was enough to get the attention of a certain contingent of film fans for “Good Time,” it took the power of Adam Sandler and “Uncut Gems” to really make the Safdie Brothers household names. And now, the filmmakers are hoping to expand their reach with new TV projects, with the help of a couple of powerhouse studios.

It’s all about your crew.

Adam Sandler is showing his support for the class of 2020. On Wednesday, the Uncut Gems star took to social media to give graduates that have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic a heartwarming shout-out.

Adam Sandler’s 2019 crime drama film Uncut Gems turned out to be a box office hit. The actor’s remarkable performance in the film was praised by audience and critics alike, and even generated Oscar buzz. The fans even slammed the award ceremony for not adding the movie to their nomination list. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, film's directors Josh and Benny Safdie revealed that the actor was once nearly choked to death by his co-stars on while shooting an action scene.

Adam Sandler was praised for his work in last year's "Uncut Gems" but the actor and comedian nearly lost his life while filming it. In the crime drama, Sandler plays Howard Ratner, a New York City Diamond District jeweler who has an addiction to gambling.

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.”
