A incredible show that combines popular genres, digs deep into an alternate history, has a phenomenal cast, and keeps you guessing as the mysteries begin to unravel throughout the series.

Star City soon establishes itself as an ideal kind of spin-off, replicating the strengths of its predecessor while thriving as a standalone drama.

I'm two episodes in, and barely hanging on. The premise of the alternate history and the nuanced storytelling is keeping me interested. As long as the plot deepens, I will probably keep watching. What I don't like is the very dark portrayal of everything Soviet. It feels like an American's point of view rather than a Russian's. And why do so many of the characters speak with British accents? Those two things make the show feel inauthentic.

Wrings taut drama from the story of Eastern Bloc men and women trying, at great personal and moral risk, to foster innovation under the thumb of authoritarianism.

If this is the more slow-burn sibling to For All Mankind, it’s one that gradually draws you in for something perhaps even more satisfying altogether. English accents and all.

Star City posits a much darker vision, and arguably one much more in keeping with our own current national mood. It makes for a bleak time — but some very compelling drama.

There’s a lot of potential to this setting and story, especially as a refreshing counterbalance to a show that arguably lost its purpose somewhere along the way. But for a show chock full of obfuscation and betrayal—both to the state and to the sanctity of marriage—Star City sometimes plays it too straight.

It’s frequently riveting television on a scene-by-scene basis, but can feel repetitive on a grand narrative level, proving to be a show that still feels like it’s trying to map out a course for itself.

The idea is great, but the execution is bad.
Tried watching it - very boring The first 5 minutes of the series were exciting and interesting, but that's it. After that it gets into dull filler details, drama, dialogues and relationships. The only upside is that unlike with Chernobyl - the cast looks more like soviets, and not generic californian corporate suits.
