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.

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.

Simply sensational and brilliant. Definitely one of the best new TV shows of the year. It holds your attention from the first episode to the last, the blend of sci-fi, psychological thriller, political intrigue, drama, and action is breathtaking. An ensemble cast delivering Oscar-worthy performances. A very well-written script. I recommend it without hesitation. I followed this spin-off without having seen For All Mankind, but now i will certainly watch that series. The quality of Apple TV series is impressive. Tottaly score for Apple TV.

Performances are excellent. Pacing is outstanding. One of the strengths of this series is that each of the main characters has their own agenda and complex motivations creating uncertainty in our minds as to what they will do, when they hit various crossroads. The series is also very good with balancing the time on each of the major characters so that it feels like an ensemble piece. I really hope AppleTv gives this show a few more seasons.
