"Mankind" is the most thoughtful and thought-out show on TV, so nuanced and exquisite that you forget where and when you're living and who’s president. It’s in a class all its own; it’s a new frontier of just how good TV can be.
For All Mankind Season 3 delivers more of what made its excellent Season 2 so thrilling. ... If there’s one spot, though, where For All Mankind Season 3 might frustrate viewers, it’s the resurrection of one of the most contested storylines in the show’s run. By the end of Episode 8, however, I could see where the writers were going with this story and its conflicted main player. ... Overall, For All Mankind is just freaking good TV.

One of the best series I've ever seen! Each episode manages to excite me like few other productions. Everything is taken care of down to the smallest detail of the staging, from the scenography to the costumes to the videos and images of historical reconstruction. Another wonderful gem from Apple Tv +

Amazing sci-fi, considering the other garbage we're being proposed these days like MandaLOLian, Another Life, Away, bla bla yadda yadda. Yes, it's heavier on the drama than 12yo future-tech-fetishists would prefer, but that only makes it more compelling, because the acting is world class. Absolutely can't wait for S2, already watched S1 a second time to refresh my memory. How anyone is rating this anything less than an 8 is blowing my mind.

For All Mankind remains competence porn of the highest order — and the best show you’re probably not watching.
The strains of having such a huge cast are noticeable; it’s clear that several players, including Aleida, will play a greater role in the future, but the foreshadowing in her storyline doesn’t amount to much more than that. ... Kinnaman, who’s following up a solid turn on Amazon’s Hanna, does great work here.
It tries to juggle too many characters at once, and doesn’t make any of them as compelling as its core concept. It’s a noble effort, and genuinely stirring at times, but I’m still waiting for it to really take flight.
Moore and company are clearly NASA nerds on a level that surpasses even mine, so it’s not hard to understand why they might want to take a similarly slow-and-steady approach, filling in every key detail along the way that explains how and why their universe is different from our own. But the differences are where For All Mankind is strongest. The sooner the series emphasizes them, the better.
It takes a few episodes to break free from rehashes of well-worn stories: unfaithful and distant spouses, unruly kids, interfamily envy. Every character on this show is saddled with an initial, perfunctory purpose. It’s only with the benefit of hours spent with them that more dynamic parts of their corner of this galactic web get to emerge — and that’s too long to wait.
I love how engaging they are not just with the technology but with correlating the evolution of our social and political world. Many shows focus on technology and flashy sequences while ignoring character development and complex storylines. I was NOT a fan however of a particular storyline but I can't have everything.

Fantastic idea, great visuals and acting, but the writing really goes downhill in season 3.
Specifically, the writers go out of their way to emphasize unnecessary and unbelievable human drama, going so far as to spend a substantial percentage of the season on laying the groundwork for why it's the fault of one specific character that a catastrophe occurs, including insertion of technically unreasonable conditions to be able to make that linkage. It's frustrating because the exact same plot could have been interesting and believable and way less cringeworthy if they had simply omitted the personal fault angle and gone with a random pressure wave as a trigger.

What started out as a fairly grounded story of space exploration, by season three has devolved into a ridiculous melodrama full of bad dramatic tropes worthy of a Michael Bay disaster movie.

The space scenes, space drama, and tension of the space related mission control issues are gripping... The shoving of LGBTQP issues, forcing of females into the limelight as not just being equal but better than men at everything is tiresome, they are taking the Star Trek: Discovery script down to the letter. Female empowerment is great, making every white male in the show weak, stubborn, angry and irrational however is not and that's the current trajectory. According to this timeline, equality means re-writing white people out of the script (I'm Asian and I find this revisionist idealism **** annoying). If they are white, they must either be ****, or if they are straight they have serious issues. Basically, everything that would have been considered normal is wrong, nuclear families don't work, the old American ideal was backwards thinking, the future is female, minority and LGBTQP owned and the show focuses on that singular SJW perspective now more than the actual missions as time progresses.
Watching the first episode of season 2 and its 90% females in charge of literally everything (NASA Director, Space Missions, Flight Directors, Crew Captains, Moon Base Commanders) literally everyone in a position of power is now female, strong men don't exist in this timeline anymore without the aforementioned issues.
The ladies are LITERALLY carrying the weak men on their backs because they fail at everything lol... also now apparently overweight people on the moon are a thing now because we don't expect our top pilots and astronauts to be in peak physical shape anymore that would go against body positivity. Race card is played HARD midway in season 2, where the commander of a mission is essentially chosen because she's black, despite not being active for years. Once again highlighting everything wrong with SJW mindset, choosing people BASED on their race instead of the best people for the job is textbook definition of R-A-C-S-I-S-M. Season 2 thus far has been completely downhill, less than 10 mins in space, the rest of the season is earth drama.
