US: For All Mankind

I think season 3 suffered from some more heavy handed virtue signalling.

They have always had the interesting alternate history Gay plotline running through it but season 3 its front and centre to the detriment of the actual space stuff. The scandal of the President was enough without the crew member in space. Plus some of the script writing was just poor - the whole Stevens/drugs plot was ridiculous as was the whole Ed's wife goes from mild mannered housewife to ball busting CEO plot.
 
Just started this start of the week, season 1 finished earlier and season 2 started right after.

What an amazing show, cannot believe it's been sat on my watchlist for a year+

The science/technology engineering etc all appear to be legit too, and the character drama is solid writing.

They have done space better than the vast majority of Hollywood movies like Gravity. The music score during those tense space moments are on levels with Interstellar, and watching in HDR really makes space look so cool in those lunar scenes, especially on OLED!

Has become one of my top 5 shows of all time so far.

There is one episode in particular that has an incredible scene, you'll know when you get there.

I'm saying nothing until you've finished. :D
 
  • Wow
Reactions: mrk
Does it beat the greatest moment in TV Sci-Fi history though?! Tell me that much at least!

It's not so much an action scene, so it'll never best the New Caprica rescue in those stakes. However it was enough for me and the wife to stop in our tracks, incredible scene and acting.
 
Yep :(

Season 3 ep 1 now, can't stop! Let's get to Mars....

Finished. that was a cool ride. Season 3 definitely stepped on the woke wagon unnecessarily but given the era which it's set in I guess in some ways was necessary.

Anyway, those NKs though!

Where Ed finally boils over about Shaun's death in front of his wife and daughter.

Mesmerised by that, corking acting.
 
Yeah Joel Kinnaman is one immense actor. Been in so many roles that fit his style of acting perfectly. Truly terrifying at times too, like that one scene where he says there will be a reckoning :eek:
