For All Mankind (2019)
For All Mankind (2019)
For All Mankind is an alternate history drama wherein the US/USSR space race is much tighter.For example, the Soviets land on the moon first and land a woman on the moon first.
The show is from the US perspective and revolves around NASA and it's astronaut program. President Nixon goes all-in and prioritizes adding women to the astronaut program (and I like how that affects the ERA movement) and demanding a moon base, which is established mid-season as we jump forward a couple of years.
Special effects are pretty good and there are lots of NASA sets and props. Characters are mostly historical though maybe the mains are not. It's not a serial show but each episode builds upon the last and often only focuses on a few characters.
Overall it's a pretty good show.
