In a comedy atmosphere, this drama series, follows the struggles of Carell, a courageous leader, who lead a group of warriors, and struggles against establishing the sixth branch of the Untied States space force.
Space Force is not exactly embarrassing -- everyone involved is too talented -- but it is shockingly unfunny for a show made by people who are so talented.
Actor Steve Carell and creator Greg Daniels take a handful of winning ingredients -- an enigmatic cast, tautly-written physical comedy, ever so slightly daring jabs at those higher up -- and puts them in a zany, compelling new setting.
But there is a lack of vision in the show they devised, as it veers awkwardly between farce and drama, spoof and romcom. It qualifies as the year's biggest TV disappointment so far.
The massive irony is that this [Space Force] doesn't seem like it has some grandiose plan either. But it's telling of its team's charisma that despite many things going wrong, Space Force is still a success.
In a lot of ways Space Force is a lot like the real thing; flashy and expensive and something you can't look away from. There's no denying it's not as funny as it should be and not as emotional impactful as it wants to be.
So strange and ill-conceived and ill-timed that not even Carell's avuncular bonhomie can save it. For all its cinematic trappings, Space Force is a series with a single joke running through it, and that joke is American idiocy.
