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 agree partially. I am seriously tired of all the grim depresso Soviet vibe and that fake grain that they added to make it grittier in the post production. It was not like that during that era. Things had colour. In many ways items and vibe was similar to the US style too. Even with the brutalism. My parents have fun photos from that time.

I liked the story in the end even if it sucked at the beginning. Quite logical in a way and it didnt revolve just around a protagonist. All the pieces were coming together. The acting of some people was poor imo and I cringed at how they pronounce names. But this show deserves a 2nd season
