I don't recall how I heard about For All Mankind, and I never see it mentioned very much, but I have had such a great time watching that.
It's an alternate history of the space race from the 60s onward, and it's so exciting to watch what could have been. Each season jumps forward a decade, so the advances in missions and tech keep leaping forward.
If you grew up thinking we should be pioneering space by now, you will probably enjoy it.
I absolutely love For All Mankind. Such a great show, although it has been lacking in terms of intensity in recent seasons
Intensity is a good word to describe that element. I feel the show is willing to bump off characters, but 2 of the leads have survived too many close calls and it lowers the stakes a good bit.
The individual that showed up with the surprise faction really threw a wrench into things that I enjoyed though!
