For All Mankind - Apple TV+

[icebearforpresident]

Has anyone else watched it? I know Apple TV doesn’t have a huge number of subscribers but I have literally never met another person who’s even heard of it, never mind watched it. Just watched the season 3 finale last night and need to talk to someone about it!

for those of you who haven’t watched it, it starts in 1969 and man landing on the moon, except Russia got there first. From there it’s kind of an alternative history of what could have been.

I'm watching it but I'm a bit behind, as I have been on holiday so no streaming, marking place for later

This is fast becoming one of my all time favourite shows. The season 3 finale yesterday was amazing! And like you, it feels like no one else watches it. I'm always recommending it. I have seen a thread in telly addicts I think so we aren't alone.

Thanks for the tip

Yes, thanks. Needing a new series so will give this a go.

I watched the first few episodes when it started then left it for ages, I didn’t finish season 1 until season 2 was already started. It seemed to take ages to get going but once it hit it’s stride it hooked me right in.

Loved the latest episode but really in 2 minds about how I feel about a certain character ending up where she did. Not sure I like the ending or if I would have preferred the alternative they seemed to be setting up.

I’ve enjoyed season three more than the first two seasons, not sure why. I definitely didn’t expect that ending, I wonder if we’ll see that person again given they are/were a major character.
I love the concept of the alternative history, but it hasn’t gripped me the way I thought or hoped it would. There’s been too much personal melodrama, not enough space stuff for one thing. Plus I’ve actively disliked some of the characters, both male and female.

One of my favourite memories is staying awake with my late older brother that night/morning in July ‘69 to watch man take his first steps on the Moon. I was really tired at school that day, but like nearly everyone else, staff and pupils, I was incredibly excited. Where might we go next? Could we live in space? Was there other beings out there? Etc. I’ve been disappointed ever since that we stopped exploring the further reaches of space except for non-manned vehicles.

I loved it (although burst out laughing at the North Koreans reaching Mars first). Love the alternative reality detail ‘Senator Bush’ and ‘the Johnson space centre’ I think the next series will maybe focus on Margot and the Russians vs Kelly/Aleida running NASA for the US. Be interesting to see who they pick as presidents for the 2000’s onwards…
