What to Know

Critics Consensus

Though it shoots for the moon and falls somewhere in orbit, For All Mankind's impressive vision of history has the potential for real liftoff if it leans into the things that set it apart instead of settling for more of the same.

Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 11/07/2019
For All Mankind deftly blends fictional and historical characters... The series also does a good job of portraying outdated attitudes and environments while viewing them through a modern lens, imbuing things with abundant contemporary resonances.

3/4
If every episode of "For All Mankind" reached the level of the first 20 minutes of the series premiere, I'd be hailing it as one of the outstanding shows of the year. Go to Full Review Mike Hale New York Times 11/05/2019
Their domestic drama occupies a lot of screen time and plays out in ways both predictable and unlikely. For all of its polish and cleverness and suspense, "For All Mankind" ultimately puts the soap in space opera. Go to Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene 02/16/2024
The has led some to complain that there's too much soap gumming up the science. I must disagree…our humdrum human foibles do not evaporate just because we are confronted with the vastness of space. Go to Full Review Charlotte Harrison Charlotte Sometimes Goes to the Movies 11/22/2023
The premise of an alternate history is not necessarily a new one, but the one this show picks really is – What if, in 1969, the Soviet Union beat the United States to the moon? Go to Full Review Miles Surrey The Ringer 12/28/2021
For All Mankind's first season was by no means perfect, but the show set up the tantalizing prospect of familiar Cold War tensions on the unfamiliar terrain of the lunar surface. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Laurence S @Lazza Apr 11 This show slowly sucks you in, and when it does, it’s hard to climb out of the dream. It’s top-notch TV in so many respects. For me, at least, it has the potential to get up there with The Wire, Sopranos, Madmen and Breaking Bad… but let’s wait and see. See more A.k. K @RT71551729 Apr 4 The way the series is produced, there are parallel stories sequenced between each other to tell a story. The "Science" streams of this sequence are enthralling! The "Personal" streams are exhausting and almost come across as being designed to illustrate a declining culture in America for some reason. As an example, many of the main characters are childless and the ones that do have children tend to have very troubled lives of tragedy. An overarching theme of depression casts its shadow over these scenes, making it very difficult and frustrating to watch. Keep your "skip ahead" button on your Apple TV remote handy here. Heavy emphasis is laid on extending present day political causes onto past historical events and this makes an otherwise wonderful story, muddied with disappointment. Lengthy, pointless and dull dialog mainly accompany the political portrayal of the writers strife. See more Craig B @Boundsy Apr 1 Absolutely breathtaking sci-fi series. One of the best of the last 30 years... right up there with BSG, The Expanse, Babylon 5 and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. See more Matthew B. @WeyrleaderZor Feb 10 From the twist in the opening scene this series keeps you guessing and engaged. I binged all of it over a few weeks and loved every moment. Good writing and acting, great pacing, and great “Cold War” intrigue throughout. See more Steve M. @SkyCaptain Feb 8 A fantastic space program drama. See more Johnny S @RT20108234 Sep 4 I would’ve been impressed if the eagle lander would have actually crashed, but there’s no surprises here further from Soviets landing See more Read all reviews
