One of my absolute favourites.
Been watching For All Mankind. Alternate history story based on the idea that the Soviet Union landed on the Moon first.
It's good, some things frustrate me but finding myself easily working through it.
Recommended for fans of Star Trek, The Expanse and Battlestar Galactica (Ronald D Moore is one of the creators) or just alternate history stories.

One thing is how music is used. A lot of popular songs (some of my absolute favourites) but it often feels cheesy and too on the nose sometimes. Like they wanted to convey an emotion so they searched for a song with that emotion in the title and used it. Ronald D Moore has a track record for, what I would consider to be poor use of music (Battlestar Galactica using All Along The Watchtower). That might not bother people as much as it does me though.One of the criticisms I’ve seen it receive are the melodramatic nature of it at times, wonder if that’s something that affected how you saw it?

It definitely feels more melodramatic than a lot of shows but that can be good and bad. I'd say there's something for everyone; sci-fi, politics, drama. All that being said, one thing it does create is quite a brutal world. Space is dangerous and shit gets real.
I looked at the review scores and it seems to go up about 10 points each season and that's probably how I felt. First season was interesting, it gets better and better, particularly as the world develops and diverges from our own but also reflects socio-political topics we deal with. It'd be interesting to see if it would be more popular if it wasn't hidden away on Apple.
