Critical reviews on ‘Space Force’ Season 1
The reviews were mixed, but the series was still “one of the most-watched new comedy series on Netflix when it debuted last year. Rotten Tomatoes, given the first season of the series, has an approval rating of 38% based on 95 reviews, with an average rating of 5.78/10. The site’s critics consensus reads: “An all-star cast and blockbuster-worthy special effects aren’t enough to keep Space Force’s uneven blend of earnestness and satire from spinning quickly out of comedic orbit.
Chicago Sun-Times praised Carell, for his “impeccable comedic timing and his uncanny ability to play yet another character who’s often an insufferable buffoon with not a speck of self-awareness.” Variety wrote: “For all the heft behind it, Space Force should be an easy win. Ten episodes later, it’s safer to say that Space Force is really just okay.”
The Guardian gave the first season of the series only 2 out of 5 saying, “Above all, despite occasional laughs to be gleaned from the twist that Malkovich can give the most unpromising of lines, Space Force is not funny, which makes it hard to class as a comedy.” The Verge gave Space Force a disappointing review stating that “the show falls apart before it even gets going”, chiefly because it strays away from the sharp political satire that shows such as Veep had nailed and instead “adheres to the conventions of the workplace comedy.”
So, different people have different views. You watch out for the series to have your own views. And I am pretty sure that the second season is going to be loved by the viewers and critics alike. And do not forget to mark your calendars for 18th Feb, that when the series is returning.
