For All Mankind (AppleTV plus)

Watch this if you haven’t been.

We’re an episode away from the end of season three and it’s an amazing ride.

Long story short, the Soviets beat us to the Moon in 1969 and the space race never ended. Each season jumps ahead by about a decade. By season three, we’re racing for Mars.

It’s amazing. And not just because I know a bunch of the people involved.

I started this right before the new season started being released, I had to stop about halfway through the third season because I just couldn't take the Joel Kinnaman character anymore.

I do agree the show is good on the whole, the first two seasons were both pretty well done but the third season just wasn't doing it for me anymore. I'll probably go back to it at some point but my "must watch this every week!" faded after the third or fourth week and I stopped watching it.

This is my pro TV reviewer friend's favourite show. He watches everything and settled on this. I've tried, but (tired dad) fell asleep a few times. Will try again.

Kinnamen's character is still prominent, but his star dims through the middle of the season as the story gets bigger. The finale of the season hits hard.

Started watching this recently based on the recommendation in this thread; we're partway through season 2.  Aside from the realistic sci-fi and the period stuff, which is all great, I really like the character's evolution over the years.  Some of them "grow up" in really satisfying ways, some change in less satisfying ways, some do both, some just kind of stay stuck, and it's cool to watch them all play off of each other.
