I feel like every season tries something a little bit new on the premise of the space race. I also feel like there is too much show for how much I enjoy every season. The characters are oddly flat, and their dialogue is cringe. Also they do some things that are just utterly fucked up. One character fucks her husband's best friend's child (who was also best friends with her dead son growing up together).
The space stuff can be dramatic and fun and all of it is visually well made, but I am increasingly finding that the fluff between the truly space sequences are less and less worth it
Maybe this is just me, but I couldn't get past the first couple of episodes. The idea of a NASA series that isn't hopeful and full of characters trying to solve science problems to help their fellow man, it's just goes against the very idea of NASA for me. From the first episode, it's just a bunch of unprofessional in-fighting from an organization that is famously technical and professional.
Sure, we've seen some amount of in-fighting with astronauts vs. doctors or bureaucrats, from movies like Apollo 13 or The Martian. But it was a minority of the plot, and ultimately, even the "bad guys" had the best interest of the organization in mind, just from a less-personal POV.
Welcome to the alternate part of the historical drama
