Inspiring but not cloying, this is compelling drama precisely because it is as compromised and imperfect as our own struggles to progress. Don’t be put off by the tech stuff; it’s only rocket science.
It takes a few episodes for a lot of the new season’s setup – more politics than space exploration, really — to pay off but when it finally does, it proves worth the wait.

It remains one of the most compelling watches on television, infused with awe for the cosmos and faith in humanity’s ability to bridge gaps by working together.
For All Mankind is doing what it has always done: considering the human cost of historical achievement. But the show’s new season hints that its exploration of those costs will be both more nuanced and more overt as its story proceeds further into the future.
The Mars mining program is a big source of conflict across the first seven episodes, which don’t always satisfactorily land. But, even when For All Mankind doesn’t quite hit the mark, its ambitious scope is a marvel, and the hold-your-breath moments continue to make this a thrilling and emotional experience.
All throughout, season 4 unfolds with a breathless pace and a tight grip on story that invites viewers to simply come along for the ride.
Because season four’s alternate-history timeline is closest to our present day, FAM loses the nostalgic feel it had when depicting the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s. Beyond that, these new episodes just haven’t figured out what journey they want to take.
Based on episode 1 of season 4:I recall someone saying this is the best sci fi on tv that you’re not watching, and it’s so true. As a huge fan of BSG remake I see so many similarities in regards to the time skips, the stories that will only get more relevant as time goes on. I love the alt timeline especially the start of seasons with the news reports.
For season 4 North Korea being in the mix is going to ramp up the tension 10 fold, and I can’t wait for this journey!

SEASON 4
Not terrible, but not very good as a geopolitical thriller with struggles between workers and management, and the obligatory everyman just trying to make it in an unfair system. But, that is not what I came to watch in the fourth season of For All Mankind.
This show had been about the wonders and the dangers of space exploration and depicting experiences I had never seen in a movie or TV show before. It had regularly surprised me in the earlier seasons, but there were few surprises here. Characters that I cared for and rooted for in the earlier seasons no longer held my interest.
I might have rated this a three or four, if this had been a stand alone series, but as it betrayed so much of what I loved of For All Mankind I rated it lower because of my complete disappointment.
