20th January, 2020.
I have to confess, I’ve had a quiet day …
Really.
I’m jobhunting, at the moment: and, as you might guess?
A lack of cash, and bad weather … means staying in.
And waiting the interminable wait of the man … waiting for his boiler to be fixed.
Don’t.
No, don’t!
It’s a very long story.
At any rate … ?
At any rate, I’m indoors: and thinking I should be watching something a tough different.
At least … different for me …
Yes.
Red Moon.
It seems … hmmm …
Let’s do a summary, shall we?
~≈†≈~
Episode 1 — Red Moon — opens by showing people across the world watching the first man to land on the moon do so: planting a Soviet flag whilst there.
Back on Earth?
Edward Baldwin (Joel Kinnaman) within in a bar with friends from his well paid job at NASA.
He and his fellows? Including Gordo Stevens (Michael Dorman)?
Are not happy about what they are watching: as the Soviet craft — and Alexei Leonov, the first man on the moon in this version of history — has beaten NASA to the Moon.
Their Apollo 11 is due launch in a few weeks time.
Edward and Gordo’s boss, Deke (Chris Bauer) isn’t happy.
Deke’s boss, Dr Werner von Braun (Colm Feore) is distinctly unhappy …
And Edward’s wife, Karen (Shantel VanSanten) is really not impressed that Edward has talked to the press about the job …
And not her.
Given that … ?
The upcoming Apollo 11 launch is looking shaky!

Did I enjoy this opening episode of For All Mankind?
I have to say, I did.
Granted Apple are relatively new at the TV show business …
But, in episode one of For All Mankind, they seem to have made an intriguing opening episode of a series that could — given enough support, and enough viewers —do well.
As I think it already has: the show’s Wikipedia entry tells me a second series has been commissioned.
Frankly?
I’m impressed enough for now, to want to see episode 2.
We’ll have to see when that is …

Post a Comment
I love it when people comment. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively adult. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
If you can also leave you comments on today’s Teaser Video, that would be good.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
