There’s a sense while watching “The Launch” that this should be funnier, this should be smarter, and this should zip more than just mosey along. The problem is that despite the very strong cast here, the comparison to Iannucci doesn’t do Space Force any favors. The brilliant satirist has torn down power structures in shows like The Thick of It, Veep, and even Avenue 5 - all programs about failures of leadership and the intersection of personal need and the greater good. However, the premiere makes another influence feel even more prominent: Armando Iannucci. Trump’s beloved Space Force program is essentially a workplace comedy, and Daniels and Carell collaborated on one of the best workplace comedies ever.
Netflix’s highly anticipated reunion between Steve Carell and Greg Daniels is going to naturally draw comparisons to a little show they made together called The Office.
