    The second season is very disappointing. One could guess it was not the original idea to continue for a second season. The first one was so much better and animated and original.

    Vero slow, only the last 3 episodes become interesting. This season is very boring and childish to say the least

    I like shows about space.

    I found the premise of this series unsettling. What if the Russians beat us to the moon? I found season one handled the premise better than I expected. The space race didn’t end and a few key details in history changed as a result. Some of the changes were entertaining but others reek of a wishlist of revisionist history.

    I found season one handled the premise better than I expected. The space race didn’t end and a few key details in history changed as a result. Some of the changes were entertaining but others reek of a wishlist of revisionist history. Having Teddy Kennedy avoid Chappaquiddick and run for President was laughable. Having John Lennon survive his shooting was interesting, but not relevant to the show’s plot.

    Season two extends into the Reagan years and that’s where I start having major problems with the revisionist timeline. The writers paint Reagan as a warmonger when he was anything but. He stood up for America but kept us out of the messes idiots like LBJ got us into.

    Since I like stories about space travel, I might continue with the series, but I hate the emphasis on sex, gay rights and inaccurate characterizations of past historical figures. Thank God the militarization of space did not rise to this level in real history. The world likely wouldn’t have survived.

    To sum up, season 1 was amusing, but season 2 became a mess and was difficult to endure. Hope season 3 has a better respect to history and the intelligence of the audience.    … Expand

    Thankfully, we're in good company even when grounded in tedious soap opera. [1-14 Mar 2021, p.9]

    The show works as well as it does because it understands the deepest roots of American identity, good and bad—and its exploration of what is inevitable and what isn’t is what makes For All Mankind such a fascinating watch.

    There’s rarely a time in “For All Mankind” where these big swings are unwelcome, but the show still has a little more to go before all its storytelling tools are calibrated to deliver the kind of imagination it so clearly (and, often, thankfully) has.
