For All Mankind

[Langweilig]

I came across this on YouTube. It's an "alternative reality" version of the Space Race between the Soviet Union and the USA. Russian rocket scientist Sergei Korolev doesn't die in an operating theatre and the Soviets are the first to land on the moon. They also land the first woman on the moon. But you wouldn't believe which far eastern nation puts the first man on Mars. Anyway, I'm ordering the DVD of season one.

Discussed at length on the Apple TV+ thread - it’s an outstanding series. The first two series in particular are exceptional. Series 3 IMO is blighted by one character/storyline but is saved by the final episode.

They are currently filming series 4.

Glad it’s being released on blu ray - it deserves a wider audience than is available on Apple TV plus.

If you’re just getting into this you’re in for a real treat.

ETA I would recommend resisting the temptation to watch too many clips on you tube. You’re bound to stumble across some significant spoilers.

If you're the kind of person (like me) who will happily sit and chew through a couple of episodes at a time to catch up with something, you could just spend a fiver on a month's worth of Apple TV and watch it all.

Same title from 1989, this is superb:

I'm glad you like it. To me it is an absolutely horrible series blighted by all sorts of factual errors and flights of fancy that some likely believe to be true, which is tragic. I found it utterly unwatchable.
