For All Mankind...in an alternate universe
While it does require (at the moment) a subscription to Apple TV's new streaming service, so it may not appeal to everyone, it is a very well-done period piece covering the 1970s in an alternate universe where the USSR landed on the moon first (a few weeks before Apollo 11). The cast is excellent, the attention to period detail is outstanding (Mad Men level) and it takes an interesting look at how a continued "moon project" might have unfolded. As the series progresses, it will deviate further from reality (they've done such an excellent period recreation, I'm ambivalent about the increasing divide, to be honest). But well worth a viewing (even if only the first season). And, now the whole season is available, it is manageable in the 7-day free trial period (10 roughly 1 hour episodes). Worth a look for anyone who likes the "moon project" era.

The quality of the S1 and S2 DVDs themselves are okay, but the entertainment value is top-notch. Season 2 is the best... -
Hello,
After owning both the 805S and the N803 with krell, I have recently changed over to a focal (1027 BE) and moon (I-7) combination. However, I am considering going back to B&W (either 802D or 803D). I know, I know, then why did I switch. Well it seemed like a good idea at the...09 June 2007, 21:57 Saturday -
So the story goes... I ended up going to the Pearl Jam concert with the guy who I bought the ticket from. His son couldn't make it, picked up the ticket on the way and offered him a ride. Interesting fellow, from Mexico, had only been here a couple years, little hard to understand, every likable fellow...... -
I was amazed at the ending of Castle this season. One might wonder if they are going to be back again next year if you just watched the episode. But they actually said, Castle and Becket will see you in the fall. I won't say it was the best episode ever last night, but it certainly did pull a punch...14 May 2013, 16:41 Tuesday
