What if the 1960s space race never ended? For All Mankind imagines such a world; here, Russia’s cosmonauts arrive on the moon first, the galaxy holds resources beyond belief, and global wars have expanded in stakes and scale. More than just the final frontier, outer space is now the focal point of warring nations hungry to capitalize and claim new assets.
For All Mankind’s out-of-this-world premise alone make it a thrilling watch, but you’ll be glad to know that the show also feels intimate and affecting thanks to its fully fleshed-out characters. If you’re looking for an epic but grounded story to lose yourself in, this is it.
"It's fun, to be honest, that a show built on the premise of a "what if" also has other "what ifs" in the chamber, especially one based on real fact."
— Liz Shannon Miller
"It makes the smarter choice to keep the drama as grounded in character choices as possible, with some key overarching "what if?" scenarios that keep the season moving toward a bold new future."
— Caroline Framke
Explore an aspirational world where NASA and the space program remained a priority and a focal point of our hopes and dreams as told through the lives of NASA astronauts, engineers, and their families.
