(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.
