WATCHING | For All Mankind on Apple TV+: This show is set in an alternate reality in which the Soviet Union beat the United States to the moon and the space race never ended. Because the competition to have more "firsts" results in increased diversity than existed in reality, women feature prominently in this show as NASA leaders and astronauts, as well as astronaut spouses and partners, and the character building and story-telling is excellent. The show just finished its second season, and it's a perfect show to binge-watch ahead of Independence Day! Learn more.
