I've seen both seasons for Space Force, and I have to say a quite enjoy them, they are far from genius or ground breaking, it's just a relatively easy going type of comedy.
I believe the bad reviews stem a lot from high expectations, specially since we have the creative mind behind The Office partnering with Steve Carrell, so people probably had this subconscious hope that this would be as good or even better than the highly successful US remake.
It's for sure not The Office, but if you just accept that, don't think too much about the ridiculous and unrealistic situations depicted on the show, you will have a good time.
It's an entertaining comedy, with some small pinches of well timed social criticism, specially in US context (and this is from someone not from the US) and it has kept me engaged for the full 17 episodes so far.
It has made me laugh several times, with the exaggerated characters and the comments they share on all these situations that they find themselves in, and somehow it seems the cast is having a genuine good time, it doesn't feel forced it's almost as if they are just rolling the camera and let them give they're approach to the scene.
It's a feel good type of show and I look forward to the upcoming seasons since they are smart enough to keep the episodes short and not filling the seasons with too many episodes.
Also John Malkovich and Steve Carrell chemistry is on point!
