For All Mankind (2019)

Watchseries; Season 1 review: A series about astronauts, space and cold war on the Moon. God yes! At first i had "First Man vibes" But the main plot it's not that, it's about femminism, homosexuals, racism and it's just too much and heavily forced in the plot that it starts to become ridicolous pretty soon.

Every single man in this show came from the worst stereotype you can imagine and women are the ones who saves the day, being always right, never ever miss something, strongest and thoughest than men astronauts with decades of experience more than them. Men are childish, unprofessional, evil, shallow humans that women have to babysitting or save their lives countless times.

I love everything about space, VFX and technical parts are gorgeous, everything is on point except this social justice that we know, it's everywhere, but here really took me out from the show and it was boring as hell.

If it wasn't for that forced social justice that ruined the plot this show could have been an 8/10 easily.

For All Mankind watchseries. I watched season one in a single afternoon and was sad I;d made it to the end. I waited until season two was released because I wanted to see what else happened on the moon. Instead I found out I was accidnelty watching a Grey's Anatomy.type drama which forget it was about the moon. Maybe they had spend all their spectial effects budget on season one?

It had a great start but goes downhill very quickly.

What happened between Season 1 and Season 2? Did the writers get sacked? Was the budget cut? As an example of how to turn success into a miserable failure in the shortest possible time this will go down as a record breaker.

I've been looking forward to watching For All Mankind since its announcement. I am a big fan of alternate history and space/sci-fi related shows.

Unfortunately, after watching six episodes, I am left mostly disappointed. It focuses too much on the family and relationships. I equally don't care about the marriage relationships or same-sex relationships in the show.

The show lacks mystery, suspense, and/or interesting characters. I wish they would focus more on the space technology, training, and exploration. Episode six has a few good minutes of political thriller set in the alternate history, but it was too little.

The show sometimes seems like a moral critique of the space race era than actually feeling like it is from the era. However, that is a minor point for me. I am just bored while watching the show.

They just turned a decent space exploration series into a soap opera. I don't know what the writers were doing between season 1 and season 2 but they sure as heck weren't writing. The first two episodes couldn't have been a more formulaic soap opera. Who cares about Gordon's drinking problem or Tracy's Hollywood smile? Let's get back too space and do something!

The premise of the first episode was gripping. The suspense and disappointment of the public when the first voice from the moon was speaking Russian was a brilliant setup. It hurts me so much that this series is fumbling this for the sake of the activism of their writers that want to punch their morals directly into your face. Its just too blatant and the only people not caring about it are the ones that agree, in the same way a religious fanatic would not notice or mind a whole series throwing quotes from a holy book all the time. Its a shame because the production values are great, the cgi is great, the music is great, the stage of the story is great... and it goes nowhere. The series gets bogged down spending scene after scene justifying how women and immigrants are the future, how men cheat and fumble what has been "given" to them instead of "working hard" like the women and "facing the inhumane hardships" of the immigrants. If only "someone" "gave" them a chance. Meanwhile a climatic moment of launching a crashed ship on the moon gets cut down to a 30 second scene like it was nothing special, not even the return of the vessel was dramatized, the technical teamwork needed shown, the feelings of uncertainty shown (think: the opposite of Apollo 13). It seems it was far more interesting for the writers to spend their time to deux ex machina a main character to the sidelines by blabbing like a child to a reporter. By the second episode things are so slow and bogged down you can hardly tell this is a series about space exploration. Another lost opportunity. This one goes the way of Ad Astra, a pretentious soap opera disguising as scientific fiction. If you are into activism you will love it, if you are into Scifi you will hate it.
