Mankind asks big questions and doesn't shy away from the worst tendencies of 20th-century America, all without careening into pedantic and patronizing territory. Go to Full Review Emily St. James Vox 03/23/2021
[It's] bona fides stem from many corners - terrific production design, visual effects that might be TV's best, stellar performances from a beautifully chosen ensemble cast - but its overall quality can also be traced back to its showrunner Ronald D.

That's the sense of wonder For All Mankind has proven capable of capturing, and while Season 2 has its flaws, it's exciting to know that the story will keep advancing into the future. Go to Full Review Robert W. Butler Butler's Cinema Scene 02/16/2024
Throughout, the series never abandons the idea of real science. No laser guns, shape-shifting aliens or woo woo transcendentalism. Just people designing... Go to Full Review Charlotte Harrison Charlotte Sometimes Goes to the Movies 11/22/2023
Amazing performances and beautiful cinematography... Go to Full Review Bethan Ackerley New Scientist 07/19/2023
It is in the small moments of defiance and sacrifice, whether that is staring down a solar storm or shaking an enemy’s hand, that For All Mankind proves it has figured out what kind of show it wants to be. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Paul B @OddBurton Apr 23 Season 1 did a good job laying the foundation, but it barely qualifies as sci-fi. For All Mankind is 90% Days of Our Lives soap opera with a smattering of space stuff. The writing is good-ish, but the rampant overacting by half the cast is genuinely off-putting — so many scenes are so overwrought they cross into cringe territory. I'm looking at you, Karen—This woman wears a tortured, near-tears expression while talking about Tupperware. And I'm no prude, but why did the writers think it was a good idea to have her hook up with her dead son's best friend? It's the dumbest, laziest, creepiest, and most unnecessary subplot I've ever seen shoehorned into a show — existing for no apparent reason other than to keep her character relevant. And something tells me Season 3 is going to lean even harder into this mess. See more Vinicius L @RT14062649 Apr 16 Melhor série sobre espaço! See more Craig B @Boundsy Apr 1 Follows on beautifully from where series 1 left off. See more Roderick M @RT74360553 Nov 28 I initially really enjoyed this show but had to cringe so hard when Karen cheated on Ed with Gordon’s son. Why was this necessary? Myself and many others were put off by this stupid detail and stopped watching because why are we forced into this cringe in a space show? And even after this I gave it a second chance after season 3 was announced so I took a look at the recap. In the Youtube video the cast were cheering Karen on for sleeping with Gordon’s son. I had enough and cancelled my Apple TV subscription shortly after. See more Molly Y. @utterlymolly Jul 13 The best season finale I have ever seen. My favorite show of all time See more Finn M @RT34376475 Jul 12 Speechless didnt think it was possible to exceed the already amazing first season. See more Read all reviews
