What to Know

Critics Consensus

Taut, ambitious, and impressively self-assured, Star City proves a worthy expansion of the For All Mankind universe with its blend of political intrigue and human drama.

Rebecca Nicholson Financial Times 4d
4/5
Star City has the slow-burn terror of a paranoid period spy drama, with the added theatrics of a space thriller. Go to Full Review David Opie Empire Magazine Jun 2
4/5
Star City is cold and claustrophobic where For All Mankind is caring and cheerful, which makes for a gripping inversion of Apple's sci-fi drama — inspiring awe of a very different kind. Go to Full Review Alan Sepinwall What's Alan Watching? (Ghost.io) Jun 1
The good news is that I felt substantially more engaged by Star City than I have by the parent show the last couple of seasons, and there are clear ways the spinoff differentiates itself from its predecessor besides the setting. Go to Full Review Louise Griffin Radio Times 3d
5/5
Star City is worlds away from For All Mankind - and is all the better for it. Go to Full Review Jean Henegan Pop Culture Maniacs 3d
4/5
Despite some rocky moments early in the series, Star City is trending more toward the successes of early For All Mankind rather than the mess that the series has become. Go to Full Review Alex Maidy JoBlo's Movie Network Jun 4
8/10
As ambitious as its predecessor but a wholly distinct series that feels like a companion and expansion rather than a spin-off, Star City is another reason to go back and check out For All Mankind. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

C C @FairandHonest 17h Slow, oppressive, grim. Meh. See more Larry M. @lsm47 17h Impressive blend of speculative fiction, Cold War espionage and period Russian drama. Well written and acted, particularly the women characters. See more down P @downwiththewreckage 23h I don't know why the audience rating on this is so low, this is an excellent show, and companion experience to For All Mankind. It's great Cold War soviet stuff, with real care to get the tone and threat right. This is such a good show I hope we get 10 seasons of it. If you like Cold War spy thrillers, you'll enjoy this. See more Jason L @transce 1d Slow and depressing. Three episodes in and they've so far failed to create an emotional connection with a single character in the show. Star City has little in common with For All Mankind except that it exists on the same alternate timeline. See more Wardel L. @Wardy 1d Boring rubbish with no Russians. Just bad British actors and accents. See more Ryan Alexander M @FlyRyGuy 2d Slower start. However, overall, a great series. I love this franchise. See more Read all reviews
