    Ugh I’d love watch this, I’ve heard nothing but god things from fellow Trekkies. But unfortunately watching it would take valuable time away from re-watching Star Trek for the twentieth time.

    It’s one of my favorite shows. I’m hoping they get the chance to wrap everything up neatly instead of being cancelled.

      Has their been rumors of a cancelation?

      I’m surprised there are so many seasons already. I’ll start watching it tomorrow.

      It’s the first I’m hearing of this show.

        No rumors but you never know, streaming being the way it is. Plus the way the series works, you can’t use the OG cast forever.

          They’re already pushing it this season with characters having to come out of retirement in order to stay relevant.

          Thanks! I’m really excited about this show. I just finished a ds9 watch and have not had any ideas about what to watch next.

    I’ve been a huge FAM fan from the beginning primarily for the show’s potential.

    Seasons 2 and 3 featured some interpersonal plot twists and astonishingly ridiculous plot choices (avoiding spoilers) that made the show nearly insufferable.

    Season 4 seems to have gotten things back on track for the most part. There is still a hint of ridiculousness going on, but I’m mostly satisfied.

    At the same time, I wish the show was allowed to jettison some of the pulpy elements and have a bit more auteur flare. But it’s so rare to actually see a television show that’s this ambitious actually make it a few seasons that I hesitate to ask for more.

      Loved season one. Had a major WTF reaction to a development in season two and hoped it would never be referenced again. But nope.

      I bailed one third through season three. The one storyline involving an unlikable character’s unhealthy obsession just became too much.

      If you tell me that season four gets away from that, I might be willing to finish season three (fast forwarding through the obession-related scenes).

        Oof. I don’t have good news for you on the Season 3 front.

        spoiler

        Danny

        remains a central figure throughout the season and is permitted to do more-different hair-brained things as well, which is both annoying to suffer though and awkward to fast-forward over without also missing exposition. There’s still a lot of genuinely interest stuff that happens in season 3 and somehow made the experience worth it, but wow, not by much. I was REALLY happy to see that S4 got itself right-sided again.

    For All Mankind is the best actual science fiction show on television, hands down, bar none. For the uninitiated think The Martian, but where the space race never ended, because Russia landed on the moon first. It’s so good, I hope it never ends

      I canceled apple TV because of so many issues on a non-apple browser, and the struggle to do THAT makes me reluctant to sign back up.

      I’d almost do that for this show.
