The first season of “For All Mankind” is streaming for free on Apple TV+ right now. The acclaimed explores what would have happened if the global space race had never ended. The series presents an aspirational world where NASA astronauts, engineers and their families find themselves in the center of extraordinary events seen through the prism of an alternate history timeline – a world in which the USSR beats the US to the moon.
The critically acclaimed series, from Emmy Award winner Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi, made its third season’s global debut on Friday, June 10, 2022 on Apple TV+. The 10-episode third season premiered with the first episode, followed by one new episode weekly every Friday through August 12, 2022.
After being pretty skeptical of Apple TV Plus’s initial content offerings back when it launched a few years ago, I’ve now pivoted my position to recognize that pound for pound, it probably has the highest percentage of good shows on the service over rivals like Netflix, Hulu and Amazon, only perhaps rivaled by HBO Max.
Among the many, many good series on Apple TV Plus right now is one of its standouts, For All Mankind.
Apple seems to understand what a draw For All Mankind might be, which is why they’ve now made the entire first season, all ten hour-long episodes, free to stream on Apple TV Plus for a limited time without the need to subscribe.
MacDailyNews Take: For All Mankind is an excellent, compelling, high-quality series; highly recommended.

In mediocre, at best.
This show went hard woke in season 2 or 3. Buh bye. Crap
Would you kindly give us some examples to support your analysis?
The first two episodes of Season 3 are excellent. The plot twist in E2 will make things very interesting. Also in E2, they’re using an Apple device (with rainbow logo) to make video calls, and the prop looks like a Newton. It has a camera module attached at the top and sits angled in a dock, but one character uses it as a handheld device. Newton was released in the early 1990s (in real history) at its now 1994 (in altered history), so timing is appropriate. I remember an Apple II prop in Season Two, but don’t recall seeing a Mac prop on the show (or any computer screen with a GUI). Maybe in the altered history, Newton makes it big and Macintosh never happens 🤪
I just took a closer look at one of the video call scenes, and below the logo, it says “MessagePad 120,” which is the Newton model released in 1994. A bit more advanced if it can do video chat. I’m willing to bet that in the show’s altered history, Macintosh never happens. Therefore, computers continue with a text-based interface. So you won’t see anyone using a computer with a mouse on the show. That’s the kind of detail Ron Moore would throw in there.
