I'm a latecomer to this show, but in an odd way I'm kind of thankful for that. Last year I watched _The Right Stuff_ on Disney+, a show which told the story of the first group of American astronauts, the "Mercury Seven", in the 1950s and '60s. Although I kind of enjoyed it, it wasn't spectacular. But it did act as a perfect pre-cursor to _For All Mankind_, and even dealt with several of the same characters (and even the same actor in one case). Having the background info from that series added quite a lot to this one. Of course, _For All Mankind_ takes things in a different direction in that its alternate history where things don't go the way they really did, but it many ways it feels like a natural continuation of the story. It takes the concept of Russia landing the first man on the moon and what impact that may have had on America's space program. The results are fantastic. Imagine where the world could be today and the discoveries that would have been made if we had kept pushing out to the stars. It splits its focus between a few different groups of characters and situations as the season progresses and the mixture is welcome. The relationships the astronauts have with their spouses and families is an essential element which could be seen as a distraction from the intense space stuff, but it only complements it. I was drawn into the world and caught up in the emotional events which happen. It helps that the cast are very strong and while Joel Kinnaman seems to be the lead character early on, the show gradually becomes more of an ensemble piece. Margo, Tracey, Gordo, Deke and Ellen especially take on some of the most memorable stories in the show. This series if full of hope, bravery and real emotion along with great storytelling. If you're at all into NASA-based tales then I highly recommend watching. It shows us an idea of a world that could have been with progressive elements, especially in regards to women, that are wonderful to see. I hope season 2 continues on this path.
The drama of emotions of people with no impulse control. I was expecting more of a scifi, but the first two episodes was as much of the telenovela as I could handle. The premise is nice though and I guess it can resonate with patriotic Americans. Sadly didn’t work for me though.
I was not expecting this show to be so intense and be such an emotional rollercoaster. Excellent.
Too much soap, I actually couldn't care for any of the characters. Just was bored the whole time.
I spent a few nights staying up way too late not being able to put this show down. I really liked the 1st season.
