It's been on my list for a while but I'm finally getting into For All Mankind. It's a very slow-burn alternative space-race show, but I'm loving where I am so far.
The core premise, revealed in episode 1 is

what if the Russians were the first to the moon, and what kind of impact would that have on the rest of the space race.
I loved watching all of that show. There were a few times I thought it got a little too dramatic but overall I was invested in all of the characters and enjoyed their growth.
S1 was definitely good. I felt it fell off a bit after that and goes a bit off the rails lol. We'll see what you think.
There's a lot of good stuff on Apple TV though
Yeah, I'm only on S1E8 so far. We'll see how it goes. I've got a huge backlog so I'm not short on shows; this will be one of the benefits of the writers strike for me.
What's on your backlog? Been looking for some other things to watch. I've watched most of the stuff I wanted to see on Apple TV, just need to get around to Shrinking and Silo still.
Now that Barry and Succession have concluded, I'm looking to finally start those up next. I also had a good friend rec Silo, so that's pushing up on my list, too.
Yeah, I'm enjoying Silo. It's not quite as good as Severance, but same ballpark.
I watched just the first ep of For All Mankind and it didn't grab me. Maybe I should give it a 2nd chance?
It's a very slow burn show that is a lot of character work punctuated by some big events, but really picks up at episode 9. If episode 1 didn't catch you and you have a big backlog, I'd say it's probably not worth the time for full-ass hour long episodes.
