(This article does contain some spoilers for “Space Force” on Netflix)
What’s the inverse of a gag? Like, what if a gag is a gag by not making a joke? What if the joke is that there isn’t a joke? This, we think, is something that we think Netflix’s “Space Force” did throughout its first season.
What we’re talking about here, of course, is the situation with Maggie Naird (Lisa Kudrow), who spends almost the entirety of season 1 in prison. But the weird thing about that is that “Space Force” never establishes what she did to end up there. We just get only the vaguest references. At one point, General Mark Naird (Steve Carell) says that Maggie committed a “very serious crime.” On several occasions the characters mention that she’ll be locked up for at least 40 years, and one time it’s specified that her sentence is 40-60 years.
