Binged all seasons sometime last year. Season 5 still hasn't dropped and has been having some production issues. Basically, if you're a fan of sci-fi this is a must watch. Really compelling with fantastic characters and narratives. Right off the bat, it's "What if the Russians were the first to land on the moon?" and it sets off a chain reaction of a parallel history starting in 1969 ||through time. Seasons have massive time-skips (a trope I love) where everything shifts, making each season feel brand new. || The shift in psyche American exceptionalism to catching up to a seemingly advanced foe, how the Russian worldview becomes a dominant force, it all makes for really fascinating viewing. Obviously I can't attest to the fictional accuracy, but the science fiction elements seem believable, and watching fictional NASA do its thing is really fun. There are some meandering and less interesting interpersonal plotlines, but key plotlines are incredible and there are some episodes that really stick with you.
