Season 5 Review: The storytelling is smart and the worldbuilding world-beating, but it’s the characters’ deeply felt commitment to progress and each other that makes this come alive and soar to the stars. Read full review

Season 5 Review: For All Mankind remains ever ambitious with its fifth season, where the series makes the reflection off its alternate history mirror even stronger as the lives of everyday people get squeezed between the politicians of Mars fighting with the politicians of Earth. Read full review

Season 5 Review: Even when its narrative turns a tad staid, its profuse empathy carries the day. Read full review

Season 2 Review: The characters feel more specific and three-dimensional now, which in turn makes the long swaths focusing on interpersonal dynamics more interesting than they were a season ago. Read full review

Season 1 Review: “For All Mankind” continues to improve in subsequent episodes, propelled in part by an inspiring theme score by Jeff Russo (“Fargo”). Read full review

Season 5 Review: It’s both understandable, given the sheer amount of things the show needs to seed for the audience, and a shame that the Season 5 premiere feels like a list of plot points needed checking off before diving into the real meat for the remaining nine episodes. Read full review

Season 1 Review: It takes a few episodes to break free from rehashes of well-worn stories: unfaithful and distant spouses, unruly kids, interfamily envy. Every character on this show is saddled with an initial, perfunctory purpose. It’s only with the benefit of hours spent with them that more dynamic parts of their corner of this galactic web get to emerge — and that’s too long to wait. Read full review

Amazing sci-fi, considering the other garbage we're being proposed these days like MandaLOLian, Another Life, Away, bla bla yadda yadda. Yes, it's heavier on the drama than 12yo future-tech-fetishists would prefer, but that only makes it more compelling, because the acting is world class.Amazing sci-fi, considering the other garbage we're being proposed these days like MandaLOLian, Another Life, Away, bla bla yadda yadda.

Absolutely can't wait for S2, already watched S1 a second time to refresh my memory. How anyone is rating this anything less than an 8 is blowing my mind.… Expand

I love how engaging they are not just with the technology but with correlating the evolution of our social and political world. Many shows focus on technology and flashy sequences while ignoring character development and complex storylines.

Great show with a lot of heart. Starts out quite slow, but after the first 3 episode it really picks up speed. The concept is interesting, the cast is great, the story smart and fun to watch. Can‘t wait for the second season, there is still a lot of untapped potential.

It takes a while to get into, got my attention from around episode 4. All I got to say is keep with it as it all comes together mid way through the season.

I love it! What a glimpse at what could have been had we not been first to the moon.

Watchable, but the heavy-handed social-justice virtue-signalling really takes you out of the story. With other shows doing the same (Watchmen) it's hard not to roll your eyes. Great cast, though.

A good approach, but one that is destroyed with a lot of Pro Frau content. All women are better at cramps here and men are idiots. This may be the case on an alternative earth, but it does not correspond to the reality of today. Men are still in every top position, and few women make it toA good approach, but one that is destroyed with a lot of Pro Frau content. All women are better at cramps here and men are idiots.
