So, I'm sort of surprised that this hasn't been posted yet in here, but I'll go and post about it. For All Mankind is an alternate history series, supposing where the Soviets beat the US to the moon and going from there. It was rolled out with Apple's new streaming platform from the start, and so if you want to want to watch it, you basically have to watch it via their streaming platform.
So, I've been watching it and I have to say it's really fantastic. It's up to Episode 5: Into the Abyss, and it's just a really good show. It doesn't necessarily feel like an alternate history series perse, but more-so as a science-fiction series with the sort of alternate history setting up the premise and building upon it. It was created in part by Ronald D. Moore, and it does show from how it's gone so far.
The cast of characters are rather interesting with the kind of personalities and figures involved, along with sort of the interpersonal drama among them. There's some really good bits involving the characters which are just top-notch in the kind of developments and presentation of the figures. Of a sort of general review on it so far, the first episode does sort of work to set up everything with the second sort of following a bit along, but after that, it really gets rolling.
