The show treats Ed’s story with more gravity than Mars’ planetary environment does. Go to Full Review
Amber Dowling Globe and Mail Apr 2
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

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

3/5
Like all good sci-fi, the latest entry in this show offers a thoughtful examination of humanity within an exceptionally well-realised setting. Go to Full Review

5/10
Much like our own world, [Season 5 is] a bit of a drag. Go to Full Review
Rob Owen Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Apr 1
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

AJ N @AJNICO 21h Loved the first few seasons. Season 5 entirely lost its way. From a forward-thinking work of speculative fiction with interesting character arcs, tense action and a sugary helping of human dynamics... it became a YA soap opera on Mars. Its meager attempt at exploration is confined to a fraction of the screen-time and the rest is shallow and forced people drama. I watch it, but only because I'm a sci-fi junky... lower your expectations See more Dylan G. @RT21391731 1d Agree with some other reviews—show has lost its way. It feels like there are 10 different storylines and they’re all kind of thin. So many shows are making this mistake lately—overcommitting to how intricate and deep they try to get and inevitably running out of runway to do it justice. See more Antony C @RT20160069 1d Totally lost its way. Impossible to watch. Weak story. Weak characters. Apple…call it a day. Apple should be embarrassed See more Josip I @Bozz86 3d A great show that turned into an unwatchable piece of ... the characters in season 5 are absolute trash, same as the story line. I've never thought about quiting the show this close to end before. See more Kathy P @Kathode 3d Love this show so much I'm considering watching it again from the beginning. I don't usually like alternated histories, but this one is amazing. The characters are so human. I can't wait for each episode to air! See more Nathaniel A @no-onee 3d This show is a constant cringe fest. Honestly most of it I cant even keep my eyes open for, its so damn boring. Almost all the characters are so unlikable & so unbelievable. The writing is like a shoestring budget soap opera with world class set building & visuals. Why waste so much $ on something so obviously not worth it See more Read all reviews
