The newest satire from Steve Carell and Greg Daniels is about the very real newly created branch of the US military: Space Force.
I've read a couple reviews saying it's not funny and that the hope to recreate the magic of The Office never materializes. I think it's unfortunate that the creative duo has to live up to an amazing series but I think Space Force is hilarious in its own right. If you look at the definition of satire "the use of humor, irony, exaggeration or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices...." I feel that the show has done this quite well in a very entertaining way while exposing the excesses of US military spending and desire to dominate all realms of the world and now apparently space.
Definitely worth a watch in my opinion and I hope it gets another season to further develop the characters and the story.
