It finds that ultra-satisfying sweet spot between the radical and the familiar, a middle ground where discovery can happen over the course of an entire series and not just its opening chapter.
It’s a very weird show, something AMC+ has started to become a home for, and yet it is so singular in its voice that the goofiness is like an unexpectedly warm blanket. I was baffled by every episode; I enjoyed every episode; I wanted a hundred more.

A solarpunk masterpiece ahead of it's time. Superb script and beautiful visual aesthetic.

It’s refreshing that Moonhaven, for all its minor flaws, trusts viewers to make our own connections between the lunar colony, what little we get to see of 23rd-century Earth, and the various geopolitical cataclysms of today. Of course the conflicts it sets up around power and privilege are relevant. But the resolutions aren’t simple.
“Moonhaven” occasionally feels like the cheap, basic-cable version of those ambitious, elegantly-rendered series [“The Expanse,” “For All Mankind,” and “Foundation.”] But its ideas are interesting enough to make it worth the watch—you’ll just have to get past some dreadfeel dialogue filled with shadow and cringe, and discover the Truelune within yourself.
The show’s six-episode first season clearly wants to be gripping and propulsive at times and it really isn’t, but there are frequent bursts of delightful and inventive strangeness.
While the series doesn’t offer the grand statements of similarly themed shows like Foundation, or the high-stakes terror of Invasion, its cautionary tale about humanity’s inevitable self-immolation is disturbing enough to overcome its obvious and familiar narrative deck-building.
It’s disappointing to see a project like Moonhaven, one rife with potential and bursting with compelling ideas, culminating in a boring, disjointed, and ideologically unsound series.
Moonhaven's premiere offers viewers espionage and mystery with a beautiful view.
The cinematography plays well into the intrigue as the story unfolds which can make this utopia seem attractive in one moment and creepy in the next. The lead protagonist to me was a little too difficult in the beginning, to where it felt like the pace of the story was slowing down. But great actors elicit emotions from the viewers, and in these first two episodes, Emma Mcdonald is the “tip of the sword” when it comes to this fact. The casting is perfect, with each performance from the ensemble creating an environment that felt cultish, mysterious, and dangerous. Moonhaven offers espionage, a murder mystery, and a very real look at another possible outcome for our humanity. I look forward to watching this story through to the end. As always, if you made it this far, thanks for reading, and if you watch this series, let me know what you think.
Keep it interesting, Stay Channel Surfing!

Playing solely on a terraformed moon colony with a new kind of society, this series has an exciting story with an interesting main character.
The society is explained via the interaction between the characters which leads to a lot of conversation with some action. There are no space fights/battles.
So just you know what to expect.
Personally, I found this series more exciting than Andor and would like to see more.

In the future the moon is colonized by a definitely not evil AI and it’s cult of mentally & emotionally deficient human worshippers. I tried to watch the first two episodes and couldn’t get through them without getting angry at my time being wasted. The main character, the pilot, is the best thing about the show but even she couldn’t save it since she’s mostly just struggling to cope with the idiocy of the show, same as us. Not sure why this show has such high reviews. I wonder what those people rated The Expanse or Foundation, two actually very good scifi shows. I wish we did have a moon colony so people that like this show could go there to die.
