The show worked for me. I was a bit meh until the "Congressional Budget Review" bit, but warmed up to it because of it.
There's a lot of stuff in there that probably wouldn't seem amusing to people with little or no military exposure, but as a military brat, it worked for me. I can't watch The Office, Steve Carell's character makes me wince and cringe so profoundly that it's just too painful. His character in Space Force is, while scientifically challenged, a reasonably capable commander and father. Something early episodes didn't do well to establish.
I dunno, it felt more like a light drama with occasional bits of levity thrown in. I found myself actually liking most of the characters in it, despite their flaws.
