Much like The Office, the Netflix series is described as a workplace comedy, with enough satire and sarcasm to fuel a rocket to space. Which is appropriate, since that's what it's all about! The series follows decorated pilot and four-star general Mark R. Naird (Carell), who dreams of running the Air Force. But instead of reaching his dream goal, he finds himself tapped to lead the new sixth branch of the US Armed Forces: Space Force. Mark packs up his family and moves to a remote base in Colorado, where he and a team of scientists and "spacemen" are tasked with achieving total space dominance.
