‘’Troop Zero’’ is a 2019 family {{Dramedy}} starring Creator/ViolaDavis, Creator/McKennaGrace, Creator/AllisonJanney and Creator/JimGaffigan. The year is 1977 and 12 year-old Christmas Flint is a bright and energetic (yet not especially popular girl) with a deep obsession about outer space. A [=NASA=] speaker at the school announced that the local birdie scout troops will compete to be able to make something for a record that will be sent into outer space. Christmas is deeply excited about this possibility, but the local Birdy scouts refuse to let her join. Undeterred, she assembles her own troop, a RagtagBunchOfMisfits with her father (an unsuccessful lawyer)’s assistant as their den mother. Local scout leader Krystal Massey gives them the designation of Troop Zero as an insult and they find that even getting to compete may be harder than winning.
