Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Seraherrera The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Peter Case I keep waiting for someone to pull out an iPhone... The sets are right out of 2010.They make a great effort on clothes and cars - but c'mon...most of the buildings, doors, stairs, hotel hallways, carpets, door handles, decks, etc. etc. etc. are like right out of 2015.I lived in the 60's, and this is a total revision of history - from the way these women communicate and act to their "liberating moments"Of course most viewers would never know any better if they can barely recall the 80's.At least they did not put today's obese/morbidly obese Americans in the scenes!America an the world has changed soooo much culturally since those days. Most Americans can't even imagine how different things were - especially the creators of this show.

phd_travel This is worth watching Being based on the real life astronauts of the space program this historical TV drama is by nature interesting. We've had the men's POV in "From the Earth to the Moon" and now this shows the impact on the wives and family lives. This series jumps a bit on the Mad Men bandwagon of portraying the 60s both in a nostalgic way and critical way. Everyone is perfectly groomed and pretty especially Yvonne Strahovski of 'Chuck' and Odette Annable. The infidelity is very Mad Men and it's interesting to see how the supportive wives deal with the cheating and anxiety of the missions. Insightful look at marriage back then.

mandy1922 Before writing reviews some should remember what they are watching the very title of the show tells you this will not be about the astronauts as they have had plenty of time in the spot light, this is about there wives so one should keep that in mind before adding their opinion. In my opinion the show captures the time well and the characters are lovable and believable the best part of shows like this is that they are true and relatable for the audience. It will capture your attention and take you right back to that time the best and worst of it all, whether its strong women like Trudy Cooper (Odette Annable) fighting for equal rights or the relationship between the Sheppard's that shows how difficult it was for a women to stand up for herself back then! regardless of it being true and knowing what already happened its got you on the edge of your seat!

MovieHoliks I just caught the first episode of this limited summer series last night which a friend referred to as "Desperate Housewives In Space"! LOL I never really watched DH, so not sure I can compare the two. The series is based on Lily Koppel's book, "The Astronaut Wives Club: A True Story." It tells the story of the women who stood beside some of the astronauts in America's past, during the height of the race to to the moon. I like this show so far. It's well casted, well acted and has some decent writing. In fact, so far it reminds me of one of my all-time fav. movies, "The Right Stuff"- which this is basically that same story from the point of view of the wives-as far as the Mercury space program anyways. I don't recognize too many of the actresses playing the wives, but do recall a few of the actors playing the astronauts like Desmond Harrington ("Dexter") as Alan Shepherd and Bret Harrison ("The Loop") as Gordon Cooper. I see too this show was originally going to be a regular series in the 2013-14 television season, but was held back to re-tool-?? Well, anyhoo, so far I'm hooked, and it will be an interesting watch the rest of the summer...
