A few too many of the jokes are dated and easy, although the show leans so far into its cheesy sense of humor that it becomes increasingly likable as the season goes on. It’s a show that’s comfortable with viewers groaning at a few of its easy targets and trusts that fans will stick with it as a very sharp writer’s room and strong voice cast get over the growing pains of a first season.

While “Q-Force’s” attempt to renovate its genre is admirable, a hypothetical next season would do well to focus on getting the fundamentals of character and tone nailed down. That’s a mission that, given what strengths are already in evidence on a flawed but promising series, ought to be entirely possible. Read full review

The first 10 episodes of Q-Force didn’t offend me, nor were they soulless appropriation of queer culture. Instead, the show is a somewhat typically bumpy start for a comedy trying to find its voice, or at least trying to find out how to make that voice funny. Read full review

The cast includes Wanda Sykes, Laurie Metcalf, Gary Cole and David Harbour, all doing their best with what they have, but limited by oddly old-fashioned jokes. The cultural references are so dated I started to wonder if it was deliberate, a retro choice, like midcentury modern sideboards or moustaches. Read full review

Q-Force feels like a missed opportunity to present LGBTQ characters in a light that doesn’t necessarily point to their queerness with such a big, 1990’s-style arrow. But we’re holding out hope that the show gets better during the first season. Read full review

In spite of being created by a number of queer individuals, the series’ much-touted representation is mostly lazy stereotypes and dialogue, less designed for incisive storytelling than promoting a brand’s purported inclusivity. Read full review

“Q-Force” had the opportunity to explore themes like gender identity or society’s relationship with sex. Instead, all we get are shallow attempts at comedy that mock a community rather than honor it. Read full review

I thought it was light-hearted fun and pretty funny. Yes, some of the tropes are a bit uninspired but it's not trying too hard. Nice to watch on a hangover

I don't generally look to adult cartoons to set the narrative of social acceptance for mainstream media, and keeping that in mind I have to say I have really enjoyed watching Q-Force.

I'm gay, a man, and an adult, and I thought Q-Force avoids some serious pitfalls while making fun of tropes in a positive way. The male nudity itself feels like a welcome change to a world where I have to sit and watch women's bodies used in ridiculous ways on a daily basis.

I don't believe the show needs to be some groundbreaking representational dive into the deeply complex nature of gender, sexuality, and society. I've known people who are like these characters, and the portrayal of their personalities runs deeper than *a lot* of other cartoons in the same vein.

The jokes are simple, it's a fun show about relatable goofballs who shirk the norm for similar shows by putting a queer spin on something that's been done before. I personally don't feel it needs to be more than that. It's a good time, in its infancy, and a stepping-stone to something better.… Expand

Ma fille fluide non binaire avec des poils sous les bras, adore ! Elle regarde tous les matins avec son petit frère asexué avec des plumes multicolores dans le fondement. Merci Netflix !
