For All Mankind - Season 1 (2019)

For All Mankind is an Apple TV original series that sets up the premise of an alternate reality from the point where the Soviet Union are the first to land a man on the Moon.  Rather than faltering at this unexpected setback,  NASA double down and the Space-race picks up a notch or two as the two superpowers compete for dominance.



Its a brilliantly written show and very well made.   Its also amazingly tense and when you think you have the measure of it, it will throw in a curve ball that will catch you off guard.  Its also very respectful of the true history of NASA and the very many real life people that feature in the progression of the story.  In a single word, it's: Quality.


If you are the kind of person that hangs about on blogs about Spacesuits, its probably very much your cup of tea. So h

ere are some images from the first season to get a quick feel for it  but I suspect I will be revisiting this show a number of times through the coming year.
