I don't really like the series. I mean, on one level it's awesome, filling the same niche as Star Trek used to, optimistic sci-fi.
On the other hand, it feels slightly odd that everything in this alt-history just falls nicely into place. Everything is better, society, technology, even little things like king Charles marrying Camilla instead of Diana. It feels like someone doused the reality in sugar.
Which is not bad per se. I had my fill of bleak dystopias. But it is starting to stretch disbelief.

Haven't watched that far, but if _King_ Charles is marrying Camilla, then it obviously didn't work out so well for poor ol' QEII, did it? I assume the thesis is that space stuff is inspiring, leads people to aspire to better things, royals to approach dating more sensibly, etc.
