Yeah, most of the disapproving critical reviews I saw were basically just bleating about how it's "too soon" or some rubbish. Whatever happened to topical comedy? Is that not a thing that's acceptable anymore, even when it's as tame as Space Force?
I agree that its even-handed mockery was pretty neat. I'm hoping there'll be another season, though judging by its commercial success I'm not too worried.
Oh, uh, TV shows, well... I've watched a few more episodes of Babylon Berlin, still not really sure what I think of it. The setting's pretty cool, at least, especially with all the wild swing dancing that apparently went on in pre-WW2 Berlin. There isn't exactly a surplus of characters for one to relate to or give a toss about, however, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
There are also at least a couple of other shows that I was watching but have kind of been distracted from (Detectorists, Mortel) for a while, but I've just started watching a pretty long-running British show called Skins, about a bunch of disgusting, randy, British teenagers (I think?), basically. Lots of rude and raunchy comedy, but it's clever about it rather than just going for shock/gross-out value.
Probably more shows I'm forgetting. I've been watching more movies lately.
I watched the fourth season of F Is For Family, too, of course. It was great. Bit of a slow start, maybe, but it was great.
Lots of character development, heel-face turns (and vice-versa), triumphs, failures, dirty underpants and yuks.
