Space Force (Netflix show) - Review Thread

- Start date
Lots of shows don't find themselves till season two, so not all hope is lost, as long as it gets renewed.
Just checked RT and there are 9 reviews up. All glowing as you said. I can't wait.
This thing always felt a bit rushed.
Like, Trump announced Space Force, then in like a week, this show was announced.

My wife and I are still pretty excited, so I'll check it out this weekend.
Almost finished it now, Malkovich is easily the best thing about it. Definitely picks up a bit in the middle but still basically a 5/10 show :\
Upload really works for me while what I've seen of this doesn't. The reviewers seem to back that up, generally. Still, if it ended up being on the level of Upload, I'd be pretty happy.
Disappointing. So much promise but the trailer totally nullified it to me. I think the main problem is actually the look. It's too glossy and over produced and frankly I don't think comedy works very well when it has such high production values tied to a glossy look. Would have been much better handheld fly on the wall Office style dealing with this kind of topic.
Don't get me wrong I was happy with Upload but it's nowhere near the level of the office, parks and rec or even the good place. It's fine for a slightly forgettable broad comedy but it's not exactly what I expected for Daniels. While Spaceforce may end up reviewing worse Upload didn't exactly set the world on fire. I expect Upload will probably end up as the slightly preferred show of the two though
Avenue 5 got better in later episodes. There was some phenomenal writing. I hope it gets another shot. Haven't seen this yet.

Netflix Review - Space Force
Shaun Munro reviews the first season of Netflix’s Space Force… Netflix’s new sci-fi comedy series Space Force sees Greg Daniels, the creator of the U.S. version of The Office, re-team with that series’ star Steve Carell for a topical space-themed satire that, for all the talents of its cast...

I'm currently on ep 3. It's not very funny but it's okay enough that I am able to veg out to it. I like the production quality. Parks and Rec and the office both have terrible first seasons so I'm willing to give a Daniels show a little longer to ease into itself.
One thing is that it has a few too many recognizable faces. Takes me out of the show

I watched the first episode and I had quite a few laugh out loud moments 🤷🏻♂️. I like it so far.
Yeah - lots of worldbuilding, character introductiosn etc. It's a lot to cram into 10 episodes.
I'm still excited to check this out tonight, but it's nice to know where to set my expectations going on.
Well, when you consider that Greg Daniels had nothing to do with Parks and Rec after season 1, that might have something to do with its sudden jump in quality.
Upload is his best first season of a live action show lol, they're always rough
That ain't true, he wasn't showrunning but he still had input and occasionally directed
I've been watching it and man.
I dont think I've ever wanted something so bad to be good but I eventually gave up in the middle of episode 3.

Make that four. I agree it took a bit to get going, but I thought it was hilarious.
This is rough. It is so dry. So many good performers and an interesting concept. Yet not a hint of a laugh.
Also, seeing Fred Willard in this just makes me sad.

i've watched 3 episodes. it's really not good or funny. i think i laughed once and i love steve carell. he's the only good thing about the show.
i have nothing else to watch at the moment so i might watch another couple episodes.

Little nervous to watch this; I'm one of the (apparently very) few people that didn't love Upload (it just feels incredibly awkward, and the finale was some real cheesy shit), and Office is my favorite sitcom of all time.
I remember thinking during the trailer, when Steve was singing "Kokomo" for like 30 seconds, "is this the joke?"

Funny enough this part is fitting better in the trailer than in the episode.
First episode was pretty great.
I'm scared for the other episodes based on reviews and impressions here.
Haha Greg Daniel's first season woes are a fair statement.
Whats crazy is his first seasons usually age pretty well once the shows past the 2-4 seasons mark.

Yeah by the end I wanted a second season asap lol. I'm still baffled by the hate it gets.
Avenue 5 is amazing, even Josh Gad was surprisingly not bad. Space Force though, suffers from bad writing and silly and unfunny jokes that I'm not sure I can finish it.
It's obvious they rushed this.

Watched the first couple episodes and I personally found it hilarious though it does have some dry parts.
Been watching this while I browse my phone. Genuinely not funny, but there are some golden moments here and there but no solid joke or punchline.
Ben Schwartz is playing the most Ben Schwartz character ever. And I'm fascinated by his suit game in the show.
Hopefully season 2 finds the footing it needs. There is potential, but as the writing goes it needs work and better jokes.
