1. SPACE FORCE!

We now live in a world where movies and TV shows are coming out as parodies of things that we're currently living. It's no longer enough to wait for the events to be over before someone starts poking fun, as with the HBO/Channel 4 Brexit film that seemed to poke fun at Britain falling apart even as we are watching it happen.

And now, America's following suit by handing Steve Carell Netflix money to make a Space Force comedy series. You know you're in trouble when something you present as a serious idea ends up being spoofed before it's even happened. And you've reqlly got to question your leadership if comedians are so willing to openly mock you while you're still in office... Fake news media running wild over here.

The TV show, which follows the team tasked with developing a sixth arm of the armed forces reunites Carell with the US version of The Office creator Greg Daniels, so that's good news. Trump is no doubt delighted.
