Space Force is a comedy with heart — the characters are flawed but endearing people being asked to accomplish ridiculous or, sometimes, impossible things and having to figure out how to do the right thing without losing their jobs. It’s sweet and funny, and I cared about every single storyline in season one. There’s no slapstick, no one-off jokes crammed into the story for the sake of trying to appeal to everyone: just some really beautiful storytelling and the character-based humor that arises from very human characters in conflict. I loved the friendship that developed between Naird and Mallory — Steve Carell and John Malkovich have an intriguing chemistry. The interactions between Chan and Ali are adorable, too, as are Erin and Alabama. I don’t want to spoil anything, so I won’t say more, except that this show delights me, and I can hardly wait for season two!
