Space Force tries but mostly fails to be funny. About 25% of it is funny. The rest is just watchable. I loved the open relationship B-plot that comes out of nowhere for one of the characters, although it wasn't set up or explored well enough. Most of the scripts just needed a bit more workshopping to really work. Almost every joke is just not quite there--but comedy is either funny or it's not, so they don't get half marks. I will say this: when it was funny, it got quite a few guffaws out of me. I've watched a lot of comedy. Almost nothing gets a gut laugh out of me anymore. This did.
Yikes. Perhaps I've gotten too used to high quality stuff from these actors and Greg Daniels, but this was a huge let down. Storyline is in this weird area where it's way too over the top to be believable, but not crazy enough that it can be funny on its own. Series skirts with dealing with more serious topics but their inclusion feels awkward and typically has pandering background music. There are a few laughs here but also a solid amount of groans. Wouldn't recommend.
