This spin-off from the hit series For All Mankind is brimming with paranoia and tension. It delves into the Russian perspective of an alternate history, offering such a believable portrayal that it’s likely to haunt your dreams.
Are you in the market for a spin-off of a counterfactual drama series? Or has the current atmosphere of unreality in actual reality become too much? If the former appeals to you, congratulations on your psychological and spiritual resilience – and welcome to Star City.
This series serves as a counterpoint and companion piece to For All Mankind, the creation of Ronald D. Moore, Ben Nedivi, and Matt Wolpert. That show explored the question: “What if the Russians had been the first to land on the moon? And what if the space race never ended?” For All Mankind, which is now in its fifth season and has been renewed for a sixth and final one, was set in the US, presenting the alternative history through American eyes.
Now, Moore and his colleagues are returning with the timeline shifted behind the Iron Curtain.
