About
"Glossy soap opera hiding inside a space race"
Based on Tom Wolfe's book, this limited series follows the seven military pilots chosen as America's first astronauts in the late 1950s, thrust into fame as NASA races the Soviets to space. It mixes clean-cut heroics with the messier reality of marriages, rivalries, and egos under a media spotlight. The tone is glossy and handsome, more soap opera than daredevil thriller, moving at a measured, character-driven pace. It works best as a polished ensemble drama about ambition and image rather than a white-knuckle account of spaceflight risk.
the ensemble chemistry among the Mercury Seven as fame and rivalry test their friendships.
you want the grittier, funnier swagger of the 1983 film rather than polished melodrama.
