All you need is to download the apple tv app and for a limited time the first season is available for free.

I do absolutely recommend it, the show is an alternative story based around the space race. The first season focus on the 60s and 70s.

The second season is set 10 years later so don't worry about cliffhangers or anything.

Ron Moore show eh? I'm interested now.

Battlestar Galactica creator for people who don't know.

It also stars Joel Kinnaman from Altered Carbon season 1 (progatonist, takeshi kovacs) and James Gunn Suicide Squad (coronel Rick Flag).

Nice, he's awesome in pretty much everything. Was great in The Killing also. He wasn't bad in Robocop, but that was kind of a no win situation for him there. Altered Carbon took a huge hit when he left.

It's a great show, get on it. Alternate history like Man in the High Castle but more grounded. Season 3 has just started.

Bitmap Frogs It's called "For All mankind" you Muppet. Get a mod to sort that out for you.

 

[Lone Wolf]

Is this show related to For All Mankind?

“one small step for a human, one giant leap for all of humanity”

What’s the problem here?

It IS for all mankind... I sort of fubared it on account in my language mankind doesn't exist so it translates to humanity and humanity is an english word...

Just finished watching season 2 of this show, it's quite a ride. Maybe the best thing I've watched all year, honestly.. as a side note I'm constantly geeking out on the fact that a decent portion of it is shot at a studio that I used to work at several years ago (LA Center Studios, they've shot tons of things there)

 

[jason10mm]

Oh thank god I thought they changed the shows title which would have been a HUGE slap to the face of those brave men who risked it all to get launched into space and step foot on the moon for all mankind.

If women can be men than I don't see why humanity can't be men as well. Oh, dammit, "humanity" still has "man" in it. "Hupersonity"? No that sounds worse than 'latinx'. "For all personkind"? No, that marginalizes our octopus and furrykin allies. Hang on, lets delay this space race so we can work on all inclusive semantics!!

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

Big fan of Battlestar Galactica but never watched this one because the synopsis reads like a Babylon Bee article:

In an alternate timeline, in 1969 a Soviet cosmonaut, Alexei Leonov, becomes the first human to land on the Moon. This outcome devastates morale at NASA, but also catalyzes an American effort to catch up. With the Soviet Union emphasizing diversity by including a woman in subsequent landings, the United States is forced to match pace, training women and minorities, who were largely excluded from the initial decades of U.S. space exploration.

Go woke, go... to the moon?

Go woke, go... to the moon?

Not woke. Essentially, "We should find female astronauts, for the optics", "But sir, these are the only women barely capable". It stays grounded, the women don't come in and be The bestestest evah!

The female characters have pretty good subplots, except the main one which is a complete fucking trainwreck for some very non-woke reasons.
Joel Kinoman and The Invisible Man are based beyond belief.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

OP could at least get the name of the show right...

 

[ManaByte]

Great show. People complaining about it being woke haven't seen it obviously.

It's great to have a Ron Moore sci-fi show again after he spent so much time making a live action romance novel.

I don't know much about this show other than the incredible Sea Dragon launch sequence. Does it explain how their modern firearms are supposed to work in a vacuum? Between vacuum welding, moon powder, the breakdown of lubricant in such environment, and the lack of heat radiation would make an M16 jam, seize up, or explode due to ammo cook-off within 3 shots.

Its an alternate history and they solved all the issues in that timeline, off screen.
