If you are after a comedy that actually makes you laugh out loud, Space Force is available in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix right now. 2 seasons means there is plenty to get through without ever feeling padded. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Steve Carell sets the tone, and the rest of the cast matches it scene for scene. Put it on tonight on Netflix and see for yourself.

There is a reason Space Force keeps coming up in conversation. The jokes in Space Force land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. A four-star general begrudgingly teams up with an eccentric scientist to get the U.S. Military's newest agency — Space Force — ready for lift-off. Steve Carell and John Malkovich lead a cast with the timing to make it work. It ran for 2 seasons (2020–2022), and the writing holds up across every one of them. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Space Force holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Space Force respects your intelligence. Viewers who responded to American Dad! Will find a lot to like here too. Short enough to finish in a weekend, substantial enough to feel satisfying. Steve Carell sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.

Space Force was cancelled in 2022, created by Greg Daniels and Steve Carell — and 2 seasons are available to watch from start to finish.
