Shows that feel likeSpace Force (2020–2022)

A four-star general begrudgingly teams up with an eccentric scientist to get the U.S. military's newest agency — Space Force — ready for lift-off.

If you loved Space Force, the closest series we have are Russian Doll (2019), Parks and Recreation (2009) and Married... with Children (1987). All three share Space Force's witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Veep (2012).
