Ideal for viewers who crave the engineering competence of The Martian blended with the generational character drama of The Crown.
Series Analysis:
What began as a single historical deviation—a Soviet boot hitting lunar dust first—has compounded into a sprawling alternate reality where the Cold War fueled a rapid technological ascent. For All Mankind treats space travel not as fantasy, but as a grueling industrial necessity: a place where physics dictates survival and politics determines the budget. The series excels at showing the generational cost of looking upward, replacing the short-term sprint to the moon with a marathon toward Mars and the asteroid belt. As the narrative prepares to jump further into this accelerated timeline, the stakes for the program—and humanity—are set to escalate again when season 5 launches on March 27, 2026.
