Definitely keeping an eye on this one. I'll wait to see what everyone thinks when the season wraps before I decide to jump in or not.

Who has the rights for Europe/Germany?

I would assume Apple and Apple TV+ launched in over 100 countries so I'm sure it's already in germany

 

[jon bones]

Interested to see how this pans out - the concept actually sounds pretty interesting.

 

[Coyote Zamora]

I think they hurt this show when they advertised it as being, " you put a man in the moon we'll put a woman on the moon"

 

[SvennusDemonicus]

I'm currently watch "see" on Apple TV and I'm enjoying it. If Apple keep putting quality on like that I'll be happy. Glad I have A year long subscription

 

[Deleted member 16452]

Have a year of this from my new iphone purchase and this is one of the shows I wanna check out.

[MXRider]

I watched the first 3 episodes and I'm enjoying it. Great so far.

 

[Green]

First 3 episodes were quite good. I have no idea what the critics are talking about on this one. Show is interesting a well done. Nothing mind-blowing but a real decent and subtle what-if soft-scifi. Recommend it.

Glad to hear this , will watch for sure , although one episode a week does take some getting used to haha

 

[Tupper]

OP can update with the weekly schedule, please? I tried Googling it but was coming up with different things. I think new episodes Friday?

I finished the first three episodes and really liked it. I get the impression the writers did a lot of research and really put thought into a semi-realistic time line of events. I could see it really playing out the way the show depicts.

Spoiler: Episode 2 Spoiler

The Soviets putting a woman on their next moon mission was a stroke of genius. Really upped the ante.

 

[2pac_71]

Just finished episode 2. Loving the show. Going to watch episode 3 later this week. The production values are so good.

 

[2pac_71]

Just finished episode 3. I need episode 4 ASAP. Friday going to be a long wait. I have no idea where the show is going or what going to happen but I'm in for the ride.

 

[feezel]

Finished the three available episodes. Looking forward to the rest of the season.

How far do we think they'll get into space this season?

 

[DrEvil]

The intro sequence to this show is absolutely gorgeous. Finishing up ep 2 now and I'm def liking it so far.

 

[spam musubi]

This show is a lot better than I expected. I'm really drawn into the characters, and I usually don't like period pieces. I like how ep 3 took a

essentially "got away with it" in real life. I also like the stoic and almost-mythic portrayal of Neil Armstrong.

You might be confused with the other Apple shows. The critics reviewed this favorably/very much concluded it's the best of Apple's launch shows -- because it is.

 

[ThereAre4Lights]

I really want to watch this as it airs, but I think I'll wait until the finale and binge it in a couple of weeks.

 

[Spectromixer]

Officially renewed for season two - https://www.vulture.com/2019/11/dickinson-see-for-all-mankind-renewed.html

 

[Deleted member 16452]

First episode was ok, a very interesting concept, but I didn't feel like I wanted to binge watch the whole show right away.

Streaming quality of Apple TV+ is fantastic btw, and the Dolby Vision implementation was great in this episode.

 

[TDLink]

I really like this show, and interestingly it feels like it's going to get really expansive and different quickly... I kinda feel like they're setting up major time skips between seasons. But We'll see.

 

[feezel]

For anyone wondering when new episodes would be out - episode 4 has just popped up.

 

[Spectromixer]

As feezel said, new episode today

1.04 Prime Crew

Spoiler

A training accident spurs a national debate about women astronauts.

Spoiler: Spoilers for episode 4

Enjoyed episode 4. I feel like they are speed running the show with 6 more episodes to go I believe. I can't believe they already launched Apollo 15. I wonder if they will find water / ice and create a moon base. I thought this would maybe be episode 8-10 or so but seems like we will get answers next week. I thought they would show more training but they went from 110 days to launch to launching all in the episode lol.

I'm excited because I have no idea what is going to happen next and every time I see how they filter it to make it seem like its filmed in the 70's I get goosebumps and chills just watching space launches.

 

[peppermints]

Just watched the first episode and it was enjoyable enough. I'll echo what's been said about Apple TV+ and its streaming quality. Top notch especially the moon shots with Dolby Vision.

Acting wise it feels kind of B tier. Nothing terrible but the way its shot and acted just kind of reminds me of a network show vs a premium network. Think I'll stick with it though.

 

[rsfour]

Fuck that Nixon mouthpiece dude. What an annoying fucking character.

 

[Mcfrank]

This shows keeps getting better and better. Episodes 3 and 4 were fantastic. This show alone is worth the price of Apple TV+

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

This show is so great, good vibes.

Yeah, time moves quick in this.

Spoiler

Skipping over Apollo 13 surprised me. I expected that to come up at some point. I'm excited to see where this season ends though. Moon bases and such. Good stuff.

 

[DrEvil]

^ 11 already diverted far enough from our real history, it doesn't surprise me that the others would be almost non-events.

This show is just the right amount of history mixed with what if, I love it.

 

[Tupper]

Yeah, the differences in 11 is what I came to when thinking it through. I absolutely love the mix of history and what if in this.

 

[Scullibundo]

Well finally had to redeem my year free so I could keep watching this.

They got me with this show.

 

[Rosenkrantz]

I didn't cancel my subscription after the trial expired because of this. The show is great, I love how casually they tackle social issues, it just comes naturally without being overly preachy.

Spoiler

Gotta admit, they got me with Molly not being a lesbian, lol. Initially, I had the same thoughts as Ed.

I find it strange that the show's rating on IMDB is so low, is it because of the idiotic Android/iOS nonsense or something else?

I don't usually look at user ratings or reviews for shows but you got me curious so I checked it out. It seems like it is being review bombed due to the social issues, in particular the prominent portrayal of women astronauts. Seems like if you removed those idiotic reviews it would be much higher. I didn't dig too deep though, read like three and noped right out of there.

Dickinson, Morning Show, and For All Mankind tackle issues that typically get review bombed, but on RT they're all doing great.

Uh, IMDB can at least implement something similar to Steam with its non-game related activity in reviews notifications. Still, I don't understand what people melting over, female astronauts have been common for decades now.

That is so disappointing, but not surprising people would be so low to do this :(

 

[Dr Doom]

It's not like the show is being subtle, but it's hitting the viewers right on the head.

Aleida is going to be an astronaut right

Deke is perfect grumpy boss

Edit: I'm enjoying jealous Karen angle on Tracy.

Cliche theory: Gordo cheated on Karen. Karen will cheat with Ellen (maybe in season 2)

 

[peppermints]

Okay finished the second episode. I thought this would be about rescuing the 11 crew. Did not anticipate it actually being a prolonged space race. That's a cool angle.

Been enjoying this and The Morning Show, will try Dickinson tonight.

Click to shrink...

The Aleida storyline makes absolutely no sense to have in the show unless they're planning to time skip and a grown-up version of her be a major character next season. So, I feel like that must be what they're building towards. Von Braun's speech in episode 2 does feel like it might be a blueprint for where the series will go if each season is essentially anthology and jumping ahead.

[Invictus]

Great show. Best of the bunch on apples service. Really interested to see where this goes. Have no clue what's going to happen each episode and I love that.

 

[2pac_71]

Episode 5 - was really good. Looking forward to episode 6 next week.

 

[tarman76]

Itll be very interesting to see the results of the time jump.

 

[2pac_71]

yeah, I thought again that would be like episode 8-10. So I'm surprised with all these time jumps. But I am liking it because now I'm thinking future seasons will be drastically different which is exciting.

 

[Keyframe]

Absolutely loving this show.

I just finished the latest episode and I know exactly what you mean. It's really exciting to see where they are going to take it with how this ended.

On another note do you think we should have open spoilers after an episode drops? There only seems to be a few of us in here and I would like to discuss this more openly without the hassle of spoiler tags.
