I’m tired of unfinished stories, and this one finished in a cliff hanger.
There are many series that end on unsatisfying notes because platforms like to play games with the numbers and I’m sick of getting invested in a show only for them to cancel it because they merged with another company, or were bought out, or stiffed the actors or whatever. If a show was upfront about making it halfway through the story then stopping, would you bother to watch?
I never really liked series because I felt like they either suck their subject bone dry and then kept at it for a few seasons to really get all the juice out of that dry husk, or just get cancelled because they end up being less successful than Lost.
So, yes it’s mostly a broken format. Mini series (like 6 episodes) are much better.
The 2 seasons are both decent, but very different. The first was mocking the Trump administration and the Space Force, while the second was a little kinder as the administration had changed. It ended on a cliffhanger.
The first season has a scene with congressional testimony where Carrel’s getting grilled on the cost of luxuries for people in space (specifically the extreme cost of Apples iirc), and he actually has a pretty decent speech justifying the occasional luxury for astronauts.
Space Force isn’t new, it’s been around since 2019. Everyone mocked the name back then, but I’m just pointing out its not a new publicity stunt.
There’s even a Steve Carrell show about it, though I have no idea if its any good.
Space Forces in general aren’t even a new thing. The Russian Space Force was originally founded in 1992 and re-established in 2015.
It was pretty good iirc. Mostly mocking the military than anything else. Cancelled after two seasons though so probs not worth watching anymore.
If you don’t watch series just because they’ve been cancelled, it’s going to seriously limit your options.
