Since 2019, one bold science-fiction series has stood apart. For All Mankind isn’t just one of the most intricate and measured sci-fi concepts ever created, it’s also a story that continues to defy expectations. In Season 1, the show asked the simple question: What if the USSR landed on the Moon before the United States? Now, with Season 4, the alternate timeline created by that one event leads to a new way of thinking about sci-fi in the 21st century. With Season 4, For All Mankind has started to catch up with the present day. This means the show has utterly ditched retro space nostalgia in favor of something truly original.
