    Not bad at all! Not sure why the ratings are so low. Definitely some cliche stuff and mediocre of the main actors (the husband and wife astronauts both are just ok). But writing is solid.

    unfotunately the heavy hand of main stream ,cheesy and derivative writing has ruined this show if not all the apple streamed series.

    a streaming platform run by apple to imitate ABC and DISNEY are not where i chose to invest my time and money. luckily their pro phones are great - but someone in apple is in the way of originality and rawness and will ultimately be responsible for this    unfotunately the heavy hand of main stream ,cheesy and derivative writing has ruined this show if not all the apple streamed series.

    Politically correct and woke as usual... Welcome to the 2020's series era. The golden era is gone.

    One of the best new shows of 2019.

    Personally hate period peices, especially those glorifying the 60s-80s. That said this alternative history drama is set at such a fast pace that it does not focus much on the culture of those eras. While its certainly not the most scientifically accurate, it is an entertaining show that is well written and surprisingly well acted. Personally I    One of the best new shows of 2019.

    Personally I hate that it is on Apple. Clearly these are shows intended to be on Sony before they finally gave up trying to run their own streaming service (that offered several unexpectedly good original shows. More than Hulu has ever made)

    While the show does have some glaring flaws in its plot lines, the total package of Season 1 was compelling and it sets up a lot of possibilities for future seasons. Definitely worth a watch.    … Expand

    To ask "What if....?" ...as any prebubescent teen wet dream, is always a sign of neurosis. And this show is a perfect peek into the neurotic and debile woke soul

    A clever and well written alternate timeline of the space race between the USA and the USSR. Plays heavy on some of the themes of the time and combined with some beautifully crafted "space" scenes makes this compelling viewing.

    I had high hopes for this series, with all the positive reviews. The setup and first episode is cool but that's where the thrills end. The show doesn't really take off after that, and doesn't deliver much in the way of cold war tension, science fiction or interesting alt history. Actually I had trouble remembering the characters names as they are so boring and also kind of look alike. NASAI had high hopes for this series, with all the positive reviews.

    While the rousing speeches don’t really rouse, the production design is a handsome distraction and even though it might not exactly leap off the screen, Moore’s storytelling is relatively well-honed, meaning that it’s never less than watchable. ... A solidly, blandly entertaining drama that will be no one’s favourite of the year while also avoiding being anyone’s worst.

    Things do get mildly more interesting when women are invited to join the space program. ... But where “For All of Mankind” loses itself a bit is in how it unpacks its characters; there’s a lot of pulling back, but not a lot of pushing forward. This results in a pace that is simultaneously plodding and sprawling.

    For All Mankind is nowhere near perfect, but it’s deeply watchable — eventually.
