Some of the relationship stuff is a bore. Otherwise good for a laugh.

If you don’t like any criticism of trump don’t watch it

Otherwise it’s a good ahow. They find their groove in about the third episode.

The Trump stuff is really tame, and honestly funny. They’re actually way meaner to Melania with the uniform episode

It never got better.

The conjugal visit and the war game episodes were 2 of the dumbest episodes I've seen on any Netflix series.

WTF is Lisa Kudrow even doing on the show?
What a wasted story line...

I enjoyed it, and the all-out hate is a bit puzzling. Seriously, if the politics in this show are setting you off, then holy shite you must have a short fuse. There were a couple of parts that might make you think "Oh, they're talking about so-and-so there", but they never "went there" for any of it, and it's mostly just the typical "boss vs. employee" dynamic you see in comedies. Some folks need to calm down, lol...

Sex is for winners was awesome and seemed like something he might do.

None of it’s that bad. If you’re really sensitive I would recommend the show but it’s actually pretty funny. BWAM

It really isn't and I did like the AOC and
Pelosi parodies.

Politics isn't the reason the show sucks so bad and I hate to see talent like Ben Schwartz and John Malkovich wasted

I made it through the end of the mech suit episode. I will never waste another minute on this show.

I thought the 1st episode was ok, will give it another few episodes but it looked like the show may have potential.

Well if we want to do any comparisons and certainly Space Force is no The Office for a multitude of reasons outside of one actor and show runner, but no one can deny that the beginning of The Office was kind of clunky and really didn’t come into its own until season two. Hell They completely changed some of the characters for the better on The Office after they self evaluated, such as Kelly. She started out as a typical Chick from India and that was too flat for her talents so they pivoted and made her a better secondary character for the show by making her purposely annoying.

Shows can and do grow. This one can too possibly. And I have only seen 3 episodes so far and have a ho hum attitude but I am willing to give it a chance.

Didn’t make it past the chimp in space.

Plus Steve’s voice is terrible.

I couldn’t make it through the first episode and by all accounts it didn’t get much better. Reviews were horrible. It’ll will have to come out to rave reviews for a second season for me to even attempt to watch it again.

I made it partway through the chimpanzee colloquy In episode 2 before I threw in the towel.

I found Malkovich’s character to be miscast. The gag with Naird’s assistant was old the first time they did it. The whole chimp set piece was brutal.

I would say keep watching.

Episode 3 starts to get the character dynamics right and it’s a lot better/funnier going forward.

It does set up one of my favorite early episode jokes when Mallory tells the security detail that he got into the building without ID and the security guard says “They should not have done that” and reaches for his sidearm.

I watched all ten episodes. I don’t know why, but I did. I guess I was just hoping it would get better. Very disappointed.

I did like the Brigadier General though. I thought he had some good, subtitle funny lines.

I watched the entire season yesterday while hungover on the couch. I didn't hate it. I laughed at least a couple times each episode. I will watch season 2.

I read one of the negative reviews as I was curious what was driving them.

The review essentially said this wasn't the time to be making cutesy parody jokes about Trump's disastrous decisions when he basically has murdered 100,000 people this year.

I stopped reading at that point.

Finished it today and it’s not terrible. It’s another so-so show that Netflix has churned out with a few good characters but nothing absolutely groundbreaking.

On another note, Lisa Kudrow has hit the wall.
