'For All Mankind's First Official Spin-Off 'Star City' Is a Tense, Gripping Spy Thriller | Review




I have a confession to make: I'm a latecomer to For All Mankind. While I've long believed that Apple TV is one of the best streamers out there in terms of its full-throated embrace of the sci-fi genre, the truth is that I've been forced to take my time working through its streaming library. I've watched every episode of shows like Murderbot and Severance, and I'll bang the drum all day in praise of Pluribus, but I somehow overlooked Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi's alt-history sci-fi drama until the weeks leading up to its Season 5 premiere. (For what it's worth, though, For All Mankind makes for an excellent binge, albeit a stressful one, in which you often find yourself shouting at the screen over certain Baldwins and their occasionally questionable decision-making.) Not only is the show a fascinating examination of how a specific turning point in global history can have ripple effects that span generations, but it's also an emotional character drama consisting of absolutely laudable performances.
