Here's the review of Netflix original show 'Space Force' created by Steve Carell and Greg Daniels. _'SPACE FORCE'_ CAST: Steve Carell, John Malkovich, Ben Schwartz,
Diana Silvers, Tawny Newsome, Lisa Kudrow and others. CREATORS: Greg Daniels and Steve Carell DURATION: 10 episodes WHERE TO WATCH: Netflix CRITICS' RATING: 2/5 '_SPACE
FORCE_' STORY: A decorated pilot with dreams of running the Air Force, four-star Gen. Mark. R. Naird is thrown for a loop when he finds himself tapped to lead the newly formed sixth
branch of the U.S. Armed Forces: Space Force. Sceptical but dedicated, Mark uproots his family and moves to a remote base in Colorado where he and a colourful team of scientists and
'Spacemen' are tasked by the White House with getting American boots on the moon (again) in a hurry and achieving total space dominance '_SPACE FORCE_' REVIEW: Steve
Carell and Greg Daniels reuniting after _The Office_, it was meant to be fireworks on the screens! The two trailers dropped subsequently made the show excited as watching something light
during this crisis is something which people are looking forward to. Even I completed _The Office _by binge-watching during the lockdown, and yes I watched _Space Force _too. But was it the
same feels which made me excited by the trailer? My answer is sadly a 'no'. Mark Naird (Steve) has been made head of the new Space Force and the mission is to put 'Boots on
the Moon' or like a 'certain' POTUS' tweet or miss-tweet 'B***s on the moon'. Throughout the ten episodes, the Space Force team speak with the team of US
President by conveying the messages given by him at every instance. Interestingly, the POTUS is neither named nor mentioned by viewers can easily picture the 'you know who'. Not
just POTUS, a 'fashionista' FLOTUS also makes her way into the Space Force and how. Naird is given a team mixed up with smarty pants and someone who is lost on Earth, certainly not
sure to sustain on the moon. But he is backed by Dr Adrian Mallory (John Malkovich) and their banter will remind you that of Scott with Dwight as well as Jim. The frenemies need each other
and detest too time-to-time making the series watchable. The distraction is certain as I tried my level best to get hooked on to it, despite the two actors who gave me my favourite iconic
roles unite - Steve Carell (Michael Scott - _The Office_) and Lisa Kudrow (Phoebe Buffay - _Friends_). Talking about the latter, she is more of a recurring role and not always around (hint -
_Orange Is the New Black_). Yuppity yup! But it's a delight to see her in a sitcom again as she was always made for one since the 90s hit show. But wish there was more to Maggie (Lisa)
and hopefully in the second season if made so. [embedded content] _Booksmart_ actor Diana Silvers plays Mark and Maggie's teenage daughter Erin Naird. She is shown as the stereotypical
rebellious daughter who is lost, need her parents' attention and wants to go against them too. The late Fred Willard makes his final appearance on the show in the initial episodes, but
not is much shown as an impact to take the series ahead. Sadly, like his character, he made it as an undeserving forgettable cameo. This might be a first to have an episode dedicated to
space mission in India and also the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi getting a mention. In what context? Let's not spoil it here. Jimmy O. Yang's character as Dr Chen Kaifang is shown
as a smart Astro-botanist and his scenes with a helicopter pilot and now astronaut Angela Ali (Tawny Newsome) is entertaining but not leaving an up-to-the-mark moment. I liked how _Mission
Mangal_, despite being a movie showed how a satellite is being created to be sent to Mars. With utmost detailing the movie made me glued to the screens but_ Space Force _despite having a
space of 10 episodes was made in haste when it comes to space missions. Every episode there's launch mission but the process and the contributions of the scientists are left to the
imagination of viewers. [embedded content] There have been several references made of _Star Wars _(cliched, though)! Like the SpaceX mission got postponed due to bad weather conditions,
Space Force is also witnessing a not-so-successful mission of making it as a binge-watch show. As we all know Greg Daniels and Steve Carell's collaboration for _The Office _did not
create a fan base in the first season and then went on to become one of the most loved comedy shows ever. Will _Space Force _achieve the same fate or is Netflix witnessing a low time
currently? '_SPACE FORCE_' VERDICT: Not all much-awaited reunions taste the success!
