What is Space Force about?
A four-star general begrudgingly teams up with an eccentric scientist to get the U.S. military's newest agency — Space Force — ready for lift-off.
A four-star general and an eccentric scientist launch a new military branch with earnest, campy, and witty results.
Satirical, with dry wit. A comfort watch at a measured pace. Emotionally it carries some weight.
Streaming on Netflix.
