Just wrapped up Season 4 of #ForAllMankind over lunch today. I feel like it got a some hate, but I enjoyed it. This feels like a series I would rewatch someday.
Just finished series four of #ForAllMankind (on AppleTV) & if you like #scifi & alternate #history, then this is the series for you...
In a sense it acts as a bridge between The Right Stuff, which is about where series one sets off & Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy, which is about where series four concludes....
There may be a series five but its not even commissioned yet, so enjoy these 40 episodes, they are just great. It mixes history, politics & character driven narrative really well
Wrapped up #Maya on #DisneyPlus this week. Much better than I anticipated it would be. That last episode was genuinely touching and it got a little dusty in the room.
So now I just cracked the seal on #ForAllMankind on #appletvplus. I remember the broad strokes but not a lot of the details from Seasons 1-3. It would be good to find a more detailed recap. But S4 starts out with all of the fantastic qualities that make this show a strong recommendation.
Die heutige CMS-Klausur hatte natürlich auch Bezüge zu #XML-Basics und dann darüber hinaus zu konkreten Formaten, Standards und Vorgehensweisen. Dabei gab es eine Referenz zur Serie #ForAllMankind mit fünf Fehlern und zwei vermeintlichen Triggerpunkten.
CMS-Kurs und Klausur waren mit der zugehörigen Studi-Gruppe mal wieder ein Grund zur Freude. Die Themen wurden selten so erkenntnisorientiert und entspannt aufgenommen.
Das vierte Präsenzsemester in Folge nach vier Onlinesemestern war eines meiner besten. 🎉
I have to watch some of their other shows but either way just #foundation and #ForAllMankind are enough to justify a semi regular Apple TV+ subscription as a sci fi fan.
If another one or two hook my I bet I’ll be keeping it for more than a month or two at a time
For All Mankind is maybe the kookiest scifi show ever made.
It's so deliberately absurd (as in the actual art movement Absurdism) I love it. Rockets! Mars! The USSR! Alt-history! Characters are now President, now on the Moon, now running a bar!
I love they don't even bother to age the actors really (50 years is just a bit of gray powder at the temples and call it a day). Kooky!
While waiting to start #CriminalRecord, I’ve decided to check out #MastersOfTheAir - yeah the first two episodes didn’t do it for me, it feels like a series I’ll watch in between other series as a time filler. Things could get more interesting though with episode 3 onwards, who knows! #AppleTVPlus
Finally watching #ForAllMankind, and one of the things I really appreciate is how they don't try to build false drama by making everything a time-compressed nail-biting crisis (à la JJ Abrams). Sometimes when there is a failure, they're all like "hold tight up there is space for a few days while we try to send you a replacement part."
A thing I don't like is when a show writes a character to do something for motivations that they never showed they had previously. looking at you, season four finale of #ForAllMankind .
Just a quiet evening tonight after a bit of an all over the place (mentally) day.
Working on my glamping blanket and watching a little FOR ALL MANKIND (season 1, no spoilers please!) The episodes we watched tonight were pretty damn sad. But I find the show very intriguing.

On the SciFi side, I just watched Scavenger Reign, and I'm mostly speechless about it. It made me feel emotions I rarely felt watching TV.
In any case, I very highly recommend it, and eager for your opinion on it :)
