The overall review on the site read, “An all-star cast and blockbuster-worthy special effects aren't enough to keep Space Force's uneven blend of earnestness and satire from spinning quickly out of comedic orbit.”[sic]. Audience score for the same is yet to come on the website.
Beside Rotten Tomatoes, earlier reviews of the show have started to pour in on social media as well. Space Force has received mix reviews on Twitter and has been criticised for not offering great laughs. However, Steve Carell’s performance has been appreciated. Check out a few reviews.
"Propelled by Carrell & Malkovich’s wonderful dynamic, Space Force excels in the quieter, more heartfelt moments – much like Daniel’s previous sitcom Parks & Recreation."

It's literally if you took Michael Scott from The Office gave him a gruff military voice and put him in charge of a military base. It's comedy gold!!!#SpaceForce https://t.co/iMN7MVIuR2
I reviewed 'Space Force', which hits Netflix Friday. I mostly liked it! The tone is tricky, but the Carell/Malkovich chemistry is fun and Ben Schwartz is an absolute assassin with his line readings.https://t.co/pClXwTukB5

Space nerds are going to love Space Force. It's hilarious. A lot of the jokes are spot on. But the details ... Anyway here's a mostly spoiler-free look at what the show gets right, and what it gets very wrong.https://t.co/h4oXdOEUHg

SPACE FORCE isn’t a complete misfire, but it’s clear that Greg Daniels and Steve Carell aren’t entirely sure what kind of show they want to make, which results in a messy mix of inconsistently funny workplace comedy and frustrating, distracting family drama. Here’s my review: https://t.co/P8jHyuP5ar

For all the money and stars that "Space Force" has, it really should be better than Fine. But it's not! Oh well. https://t.co/Ay6Kchek0f

Space Force centres on a group of people tasked with establishing the sixth branch of the United States Armed Forces, the United States Space Force. Sceptical but dedicated, Officer Mark uproots his family and moves to a remote base in Colorado. There he and a colourful team of scientists and 'Spacemen' are tasked by the White House with getting American footsteps on the moon again in a hurry and achieving total space dominance.

In an interview with a daily, Steve Carell revealed that he said yes to the show based on its titled. He added that Netflix had this premise that he and Greg Daniels thought might make a funny show and said the idea made everyone laugh in a meeting. He stated that it was really based on nothing, except the title that made everybody laugh. So they were off and running with the show which is a workplace comedy series.
