I like the look of 'For All Mankind', an alternate history about what would have happened if the Soviets were the first to put a man on the moon.

I might wait until the whole series is released and then watch it on the free trial.

Look at all the Youtube down-votes and negative comments on the trailer HERE because they think it is about women replacing men, lol.

I've been watching this series. It is really interesting. One thing about it though is that, for a large part of it, a lot of the characters act quite unlikeable. It's quite strange but - it takes a while - you end caring about them. They get put through a lot.

The moon scenes are great too, some of the best I've seen.

I am up to the fifth episode of season two so far.

i like apple tv because the stuff they produce is a bit different to anything else thats out there. They just need to increase the content a bit so that there is always something worth watching

I thought Ted Lasso was great. After For All Mankind I will give Foundation a go. Then probably cancel it.

One thing I've noticed on the web player it seems to pause a little, say once a show, and the progress bar reappears on full-screen play. I don't know how to stop that. Other streaming services don't do that.

For all mankind should be a wrestling documentary.

The Social Network is one of my favourite films from the last few years, and this has a similar story, if I remember correctly.
