As a massive life long SciFi fan… I have to say that this show has been, without doubt, one of my ultimate favorite SciFi series of all time:
——————————–
A) An alternate-history tale from a parallel universe…
B) LOTS of incredible space-flight scenes and moonscapes!
C) A deep-dive and well researched appreciation for the incredible leaps in technology achieved by NASA in the 60’s…
D) Beautiful cinematography and recreation of the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s…
E) Great acting!
F) Perfect blend between slow-intrigue, and action scene build ups…
——————————–
I have to say I have enjoyed it, and liked it even much better than most of the recent SciFi, including The Expanse.
Of course, I wouldn’t go so far as putting it above/ahead of some of the great SciFi classics, like Deep Space 9, and Stargate! But still… dang, is this series ever good!
And to think I resisted watching it at first because I thought, “Well… sounds like they spend a lot of time focusing on old 60’s technology, but it’s future space technology that I’m interested in!”
But boy was I wrong! I’m so glad my GF convinced me to give it a shot and watch it with her.
Yay!! I just binged the whole series a few weeks ago and it was so good! Happy to only have a short wait to season 3. I wish I lived in this world, it makes me sad for our treatment of space travel here.
I feel like in the UK, Disney+ is where I rewatch my “historic” content/boxsets and Apple+ is where I watch all my new shows. Netflix is hardly ever opened anymore (though a reason for that is it doesn’t show up in the Apple TV’s continue watching on my homepage so I forget about it) and Prime feels like it has nothing exclusive.
I do think this will be the last season unless they do a recast for the 2000’s.
Season 2 turned wayy too much into a soap opera style. Not a fan of all the housemom drama sleeping with eachothers sons and shit. Im just here for the space stuff.
Really looking forward to all the alternate history shenanigans. Who’s the president? What’s the status of the Cold War? How developed will Mars be by the end of the season ?
There was some fantasy book series back in the day, with alternate history US. Except it was way more fantasy than this, but even there, one of my friends actually knew more about that history and… well fuck I felt so left out.
While I enjoy this show, I still really have to wonder how much left out I am actually about all this, because not only am I not a history person in general, but I’m even less of a one, when it comes to US history.
So excited for this. I love alternate history and stories about the Space Race, so this series has been absolutely wonderful (except for that one thing in season 2… you know what I’m talking about)
Yes! My favorite storyline was that romance between Karen Baldwin and the neighbor’s kid in season 2. So unexpected. Guessing Karen is going to become pregnant. Can’t wait for more.
Awesome! Incant wait to see whose kid Karen is going to fuck this season, and then specifically tell her husband right before a big mission because she wants him distracted thinking about her, then gets mad when he is fucked off with her.
Honestly, I kind of hope her character takes the biggest step back this season. That was some weird bullshit.
It’s amazing how the season finale actually tied together a bunch of random shit from throughout the season to make something truly special. Fantastic show.
Anyone notice the rounded Soviet suits and the boxier American suits side by side? I wonder if they’re working together from the beginning or after something goes wrong.
I just watched this series a few weeks ago and I really enjoyed it >!except for when Karen and Danny hooked up, that was just incredibly cringe!<. Great to see it’ll be such a short wait for the new season.
Yesssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Haven’t been this excited for anything in a while
Let’s kick some commie ass
I hope the show returns to season one quality. It was one of the best shows I’ve ever watched.
*Hells* yes! Season 2 was fantastic, bittersweet and wonderful. “I started jogging again.”
Yes! Can’t wait!

Hi Bob.
Yay!! I just binged the whole series a few weeks ago and it was so good! Happy to only have a short wait to season 3. I wish I lived in this world, it makes me sad for our treatment of space travel here.
Yes!!!!

I’m concerned about how grounded it will be as it leaps forward again. Season 2 dipped into Star Wars schlock near the end.
oh HELL yes
Hi Bob.
Is it going to be as boring as the previous seasons?
Mixed excited about this.
Season 1 was amazing.
Season 2 turned wayy too much into a soap opera style. Not a fan of all the housemom drama sleeping with eachothers sons and shit. Im just here for the space stuff.
Props to Apple for not taking so long, on what must be a large production
Is there any other way to watch other than apple TV?
Really looking forward to all the alternate history shenanigans. Who’s the president? What’s the status of the Cold War? How developed will Mars be by the end of the season ?
Nice, but man I’m gonna miss Gordo.
Hope there will be more space stuff and less family/relationship drama.
*opens closet*
“What you doing dad?”
“Astronaut training stuff”
Miss that guy already.

Best show on television. I absolutely cannot wait!
Can’t wait for this show and The Boys. Apple TV+ and Amazon Prime have my favorite shows.
The previous season obliterated me emotionally. I’m both ready and not ready.
Excited and I’d be completely OK if they just drop Baldwins wife plot line completely as it was awful and didn’t fit with the rest of the show.

Oh, damn, I haven’t even restarted a subscription to watch season two yet.

I just hope they never bring up *that* storyline ever again. super excited in general though to see S3!
Just no more Karen philandering please
See this makes accepting there isn’t another season of The Expanse a bit easier to handle…

Noice.
Truly one of the few truly entertaining shows for me
