Who steals every scene he's in, of course. The solid acting saves it, frankly, and I wouldn't call it a great show.

I literally only actually laughed like 5 times in the whole first season, though I'm pretty 'into' humor, and find a LOT of things funny.

To the extent it's meaning to be funny, it kinda fails. But I still enjoy it. I do like silliness in general, so ...

But overall I thought it was ok. They could do a lot more with it and it could be a lot more funny, but it was a great slam on tRump without even saying his name.

Which I took for Trump. Loved the reference to AOC in one episode.

Seemed to be in only one episode.
In the atrium of Space Force HQ is an orrery, a model of the solar system. At one point, Earth was in the center instead of the sun.

I don't want to add spoilers--but it was a lot of fun.

However, we still haven't recovered from the end of Brooklyn 9-9, from some of the same people. That was a show I thought we would dislike immensely, also had a slow start, and then boom! We were in until the end. I miss the people! A comedy police show? Who knew? And it has a great opening theme song.
