Apple TV+’s “For All Mankind” is the critically acclaimed drama series from Golden Globe nominee and Emmy Award winner Ronald D. Moore and produced by Sony Pictures Television.
“For All Mankind” 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 America to the moon.
More people need to watch this sci-fi masterpiece on Apple TV Plus. For All Mankind‘s alternative version of the space race is some of the best drama on television.
In a way, it’s hard to explain why For All Mankind gels as effectively as it does. At a time when prestige is nearly a requirement for any new drama, it’s easy to get lost in a sea of shows that at least look like they’re good. For All Mankind might not necessarily be perfect, but it elicits a general feeling of authenticity. Everything that unfolds feels entirely plausible, you get the sense the characters really have been living their lives in that universe since the 60s.
As season three heads toward Mars, For All Mankind remains worth the journey.
The ensemble cast returning for season three includes Joel Kinnaman, Shantel VanSanten, Jodi Balfour, Sonya Walger, Krys Marshall, Cynthy Wu, Casey Johnson, Coral Peña and Wrenn Schmidt, along with new series regular Edi Gathegi, who will play Dev Ayesa, a charismatic visionary with his sights set on the stars.

AppleBS – where is your woke complain there is no show called “For All Womankind” or “For all Wokekind”?
Next thing you’ll be telling us “Martian Lives Matter” – the ultimate MLM scam, surely.
The BS you dream up is truly astounding. Carry on.
It’s my current favorite show with new episodes, and that’s an achievement with other excellent sci-fi shows now airing. The variety in ship design is fascinating, the Soviets use brute force, USA minimalist and efficient, and private venture improvised yet innovative. And it’s realistic, no magic tech. Based on incidental background details seen in show, I continue to believe that for the show’s alternate history, Macintosh was never invented (and Microsoft never copied it for Windows).
