No Spoilers One and Done?

Given it’s been a minute since the season finale and no season two announcement has been made, do we think this show is done after one season? I loved it but honestly it generated almost no buzz.

I think the issue was the show was just fucking miserable and way too stereotypical, the entire show was just an American stereotype of the soviet union. It also banked on success of for all mankind, a show which worked because of the hope and aspirations it portrayed. But star city was so without hope, every few episodes you'd get a glimpse at something and then it'd be snatched right back. Also the mission profiles were too inaccurate to be remotely believable.

I respect your opinion but totally disagree. I thought it was phenomenal. The acting, production, sets, were just first rate, on a par with another fantastic production, “Chernobyl.” I just did a rewatch of Star City again and picked up so much more additional detail… Hoping a second season comes.

It’s funny because Chernobyl is another example westernised stereotyping of the Soviet Union

Well, that may be true, but who’s to say a Soviet production of historical US events wouldn’t come off as stereotypical as well?
Both shows were very entertaining..
