Apple has been really hit and miss. Slow Horses and Masters Of The Air are great, but For All Mankind focussed too much on the relationship drama rather than exciting missions.
- piva00 3y agoThe relationship drama added quite a bit of depth to the traitor plot, I don't see it detrimental at all to the exciting missions and social issues arising from those missions.
- GardenLetter27 3y agoI was more thinking of the divorce sub-plot in S1.
- ethbr1 3y agoI don't think For All Mankind would have been nearly as strong without the relationship focus. Mostly because Sonya Walger, Michael Dorman (watch Patriot!), and Sarah Jones nailed their parts.
- zellyn 3y agoHeh. I thought the relationships were the point in For All Mankind. I'm not a fan of alternate histories, but the characters pulled me in.
- GardenLetter27 3y agoYeah, I wish there were a similar high-budget series about the actual real missions from both the USA and USSR. So many exciting close-calls in Apollo, the race after Sputnik, the unfortunate Soyuz deaths and Space Shuttle disasters, the attempt at N1 and Buran.
- malshe 3y agoTo each their own. To me this is like complaining about the relationships in Breaking Bad, which would have been just another Mexican drug cartel show without the relationship "drama."
- GaryNumanVevo 3y agoMasters of the air is Amazing! The costumes alone are amazing. Restored leather bomber jackets, period accurate women's clothing, they even got the medals on their jackets right and you can see them changing the episodes. Colleen Atwood did an amazing job.
