Now that they've put boots on the moon, what's next? One of the greatest feats a television show can accomplish is finding security within its footing and overlying plot, that makes way for writers to get creative with its characters — allowing them to stir up new relationships and truly have fun with the challenges thrown their way. It seems as Space Force has found its home on the Netflix screen and in the workplace comedy genre, putting forth an addictive second season that leaves its viewers begging for more.

The comedy's debuting season had a few hiccups: its storylines and jokes were a strong hit-or-miss as it parodied conservative ideologies and struggled to keep up with political relevancy. Although helmed by The Office duo Greg Daniels and Steve Carell, the first few episodes of the series fell flat and couldn't keep a consistent tone. The subplots pulled away from the characters and instead, focused on the antics at bay, a challenging decision given the public's general unfamiliarity with the Space Force military branch. However, by the midway point, fans were drawn in and curious to dive into the lives of the unruly crew.

While the show teased sparkling chemistry and newfound friendships among the characters, it always kept them at arms-length while they jumped from location to location, and between the large ensemble. A great of example of such can was seen through the budding relationship between Dr. Chan (Jimmy O. Yang) and Captain Angela (Tawny Newsome). While the two's growing likeliness for each other was teased in the latter half of Season 1, in the episode "Conjugal Visit," the show managed to avoid giving in to a workplace romance — to the dismay of many.

Space Force Season 2 Netflix

Setting all of that aside, viewers will be happy to discover that Space Force Season 2 rights a few wrongs and sets the series on a solid track to become a long-running sitcom. It's funnier, it's hotter, and it allows its audience to be a fly on the wall, not only in the military work zone, but also in the characters' private lives. From the first episode of the new season, it's clear that the show has committed to its main cast, even saying goodbye to some that didn't truly resonate in the opening season. It's committed to being a season for the fans, showcasing Dr. Chan and Captain Angela's not-so-secretive exploits, inserting Ben Schwartz' Tony into the mix, and finally giving Diana Silvers' Erin Naird some actual substance.

What happens in Season 2?

The new season picks up right where Season 1 left off and answers all the pressing questions off the bat: Is Maggie (Lisa Kudrow) still in jail? Will Captain Naird (Steve Carell) face consequences for disobeying the childish orders from his higher-ups? The debuting episode of the season ties up all the loose ends from the previous season in a hilarious interrogation episode and quickly moves on to new ground. Instead of creating new space-related exploits for the crew, Season 2 sees them building interpersonal relationships as Naird battles budget cuts and losing certain controls over the Space Force branch, Angela struggles with unrest following her trip to the moon, Tony and Chan feed into their blossoming bromance, and Erin lands an internship at her father's workplace.

It's A Season For The Fans

In the most respectful way possible, Space Force has become a show for the fans, but not in the sense that they're cheapening its storylines to make room for fan service. Instead, they allowed their cast some breathing room and pulled focus to the bits that fans latched onto in the prior season. During a conversation with Game Rant, Ben Schwartz shared his experience bringing Tony into Season 2. He gushed about reuniting with the cast to film and the freedom that came with getting to know his character a bit more. He said, "Our hope is that people, when they watch it, will feel the fun of it and will feel the joy and the looseness in us knowing our characters more and getting to play." And that is exactly what viewers get in this new season: An addictive balance of fan service and unabashed fun.

The humanization of the characters, and the union between the characters' personal and work lives — flawlessly supported by Erin's new role at Space Force— allows for the show to raise its stakes and make its viewers care about the fictional world being created. Over the course of seven 30-minute episodes, viewers will find themselves growing invested in the characters and the general plot, paving the way for a jaw-dropping season finale.

Space Force Season 2 premieres February 18 on Netflix.
