Amber Dowling Globe and Mail 18h
Although it can be slightly soapy at times, For All Mankind remains one of Apple’s most underrated series, going back in time to offer ripple-effect drama over generations. Go to Full Review
Helen O'Hara Empire Magazine 6d
5/5
The storytelling is smart and the worldbuilding world-beating, but it’s the characters’ deeply felt commitment to progress and each other that makes this come alive and soar to the stars. Go to Full Review
Clint Worthington RogerEbert.com 6d
It’s a lush testament to humanity’s dogged desire to better itself, whether in individuals and communities finding the strength to build something where they stand, or in braving the unknown. Go to Full Review
Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review 1d
Science fiction is often at its best when it reflects the here-and-now, which “For All Mankind” has done from the start, contributing to the strength of the show’s dramatic storytelling. Go to Full Review

William B @Bradcom 10h Off to another strong start, with the customary world building and character work. The young characters are good. It’s unfortunate for old favorites to fade away, or die suddenly, it that goes with the territory. See more Tom D @tomd1984 15h I really enjoyed the early seasons of FAM. But it's increasingly become a shadow of its former self... engaging characters and writing are gone. I forced myself to get to the end of episode 1 of season 5, just to give it a chance, but it was hard work. RIP. See more Tim A @RT07307400 19h After one episode of season 5, I’m done. I can’t get over how flat and blah both the acting and story lines are. It’s the least interesting sci-fi show I’ve ever watched. It started strong in season 1 with a good mix of human drama and sci-fi imagination. Now it feels: -low budget -over-invested in exceedingly dull characters -plots that do a terrible (hit em over the head) job with social commentary -an alternate reality that caves in under its own weight -a crotchety main character (Ed) who serves very little purpose, except to embody the dead soul of a failed show -and yes, unbelievably bad old-age makeup. RIP FAM. See more Simon R @RT64486026 5d I agree with others that the script quality has taken a nose dive. The makeup on Admiral Baldwin (the stiff Joel Kinnaman) is embarrassingly bad - like some kids making a YouTube vid. You can see where the line on his forehead where the hairpiece silicone has been applied. The only awards this will series will win will be Golden Raspberries. See more Jim O @Okie206 5d I have only seen one episode of season 5, I this the writing, acting, and direction far lacks a show that I once loved and recommended to others... They age the characters as if they are in their 90's??? But they do not age the dude that has the bar???? HUH? we started laughing.... Make -p is all off - the lines are cheap and not sharp, there has to be a new group writing this.... I suppose the directors are like 20 or something --- either way they have no idea how aged folks look like with out without cancer. Some of the lines must have been written by a jr copy writer... It was hard to watch but made us laugh!!!! Which was not the intent... Does any one else see this??????? See more Benny C @RT29951292 6d I love the time jumps between seasons and love the new storylines that follow. The new cast are great so far. I'm looking forward to the rest of this season.
