Still set in the alt-history introduced by For All Mankind, Star City shows how the paranoid Russian space program won the race to the moon under the watchful eye of the Soviet surveillance state. This is not the ’60s optimism found in the Baldwin household, but rather a molehunt for an American spy feeding Uncle Sam space base plans. Amid the espionage, the Soviet Union pushes forward with its plans to reach the moon first, and they don’t care how many Cosmonauts they have to lose to get there.

lmao

This shit sucks so hard.

Sci-fi laser-focused on appealing to Apple stock shareholders.

At the beginning of For All Mankind when the soviets beat the USA to the moon, it made me laugh so hard watching the Americans stewing about it. The rest of the show is boring and mostly sucks.

It's probably the only scene worth watching from the show and to its credit I think its an amazing scene. The build up of dread subverted by a celebration from a history we don't know, it's great. What's not great is realizing that you're not meant to be laughing at all the American characters who are like, kicking dogs over this, but in fact you're meant to identify with them and be angry as well.

They even go out of their way to show you that Mexico is watching and is as excited as they should be. It's only the yankees pissed off. It'd be such an incredible way to reinforce the theme of mankind needing to put their differences aside and contribute to a wider goal together, but unfortunately, the show thinks the americans are the good guys.

Yeah, it could have been a more politically mature show, but it quickly became "us wholesome science pursuers can't trust the perfidious slavs and their evil system doing science for evil evilly" show. A few of the dumb cold war cliches would be tolerable, but they embraced all of them. It's ridiculous.

Not to mention the Soviets already beat us to space and achieved major milestones. Treating the moon landing as a finish line is so stupid.
