I started watching this show on Quibi a couple of weeks ago, and it now feels incredibly resonant and timely due to the terrible events of police brutality that have lead to uprising across the globe.

Space Force (2020) – TV Review
Re-uniting Steve Carell and Greg Daniels after their success on the US Office was always going to be a big deal, making it a Netflix show based on a bizarre President Trump idea, and you have a perfect media storm. You can see Netflix has really spent money on this, from the production to the …

Returning for another three episode mini-series, the Armando Iannucci show really starts to find its footing and work out the show it wants to be, with much more focus now on Peter Capaldi’s Malcolm, who is the clear comedic stand out.
