The Daily Beast: "largely unfunny" with "little to warrant a recommendation," and "there is an absence of a point of view,"

Entertainment Weekly: "an innocuous and startlingly unfunny sitcom" that "often plays like a show that was reverse-engineered around a title"

Variety: "just okay" and sometimes "buckles under the weight of its own ambition"

Rolling Stone: The Office and Michael Scott weren't funny at first either but "Daniels and Carell apparently had to learn the original Michael lesson all over again, on a much bigger scale, rendering much of Space Force uncomfortable to watch at best."

Time: "how did a show created by the minds behind The Office make such a bust?"
