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.

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.
looks cheap, terrible production design and vfx. The dialogue is cumbersome and the story, so far, is not particularly engaging. Hard to believe this is a new show when it feels so much like a late 90's also-ran.
Casting-wise, the people don't seems to bounce off each other particularly well. The lead is initially pretty flat and off-putting, but you cant judge that properly on a single episode.

They continue to produce propaganda shows like this and then wonder why their revenue continues to drop. Unwatchable if you have more than two brain cells.
