I'm only a few episodes into the first season, but it has great special effects and I'm really getting into the story. A few times, the news cutaways of Nixon/JFK look/sound a bit weird, but overall it's very convincing.

Just got to the episode with Wernher in court and it was TENSE.

Does it stay good throughout the 3 seasons? Worth watching the whole thing?

Like marx2k said, I liked it throughout. There were some slow parts throughout though.

I do like the alternative history aspect of the show plus the sci-fi aspect.

Yeah! Love the alternative history angle, “What if the Soviets beat the Americans to the moon??”—Queue cowboy pilots grumbling into their beers in a dark bar.

I think it stayed great throughout. It's kind of crazy how quickly they move forward in time through the seasons. You get a kind of whiplash.

But yeah, it's a solid show. Impatiently waiting for the next season.

It’s astonishingly good.

Season 2 is excellent...except for one very dumb plot line...when you get there you'll know. On the whole, it is great.

I’m still trying to figure out what that subplot really added to the show. It’s one of my favorite shows but that plot line almost ruined the show for me.

It’s one of my favorite shows on Apple+. I’m ready for it to be back!

Really great show, especially now that countries are starting to talk about making bases on the moon.

My wife lost interest like halfway through last season. Unfortunate since it had a lul for an episode or two before it developed its awesome ending.
