Space Force review, Culture Whisper
Prior to stapling themselves into television history, Greg Daniels’ sitcoms tend to open with underwhelming first seasons. His US version of The Office basically re-created Ricky Gervais’ original before easing into its own delightful formula. In Parks and Recreation, most of the characters didn’t find their spark until season two.
Similarly, his new Netflix comedy Space Force feels like a feeler: throwing much into 10 episodes of varying length (29-37 minutes) to see what works and what doesn’t. A lot of it does work, but there are so many loose threads and unexplained details that it scrabbles to find its strengths.
