The astronomers seem serious and everyone else are like some parody characters. It makes everyone look stupid, the Pentagon, the bureau, and diminishing so much NASA. I get it for the president but why all the rest? I only watched the first 1h, and still felt like waist of my time. Not sure this is correctly called comedy. It's more like parody making fun of society. I read spoilers to find out how this ends and don't think I missed much.
