Much Trump-era political comedy seems drawn from the very specific genre of “you gotta laugh or you’ll cry,” a flavor of humor you can only ever tolerate for so long. By shedding that sensibility and refocusing on its own unique humor, Space Force did the most valuable thing it could: Make us want more.
-
Like its sense of humor, the emotional gravity wants to be only modest. “Space Force” is good, or good enough, with what matters most to it.
-
“Space Force” got another season to adjust — and so it has, with enough self-awareness this time to make better on its initial promise.
-
Yet for all this fine-tuning, the series as a whole still feels remarkable only in how underwhelming it is. The plotting remains lax and lumpy. ... I’d say Space Force needed more time to flesh out some of these narratives, but given how much of the time it does have feels wasted, I don’t know that it’d actually help.

Apr 21, 2022There's neither Space nor Force in this idiotic season.
The above says it all.
