Why it doesn't have the same cultural aplomb as Breaking Bad, seasons 1-5 of Game of Thrones, etc is beyond me.

I heard about this from my parents and it sounds really good, but isn't it also on Apple TV or whatever? That's probably why.

It sounds a lot like the same kind of show as Halt and Catch Fire, which was also one of the best TV shows ever created.

A really good TV show can get you interested in a premise you might not be interested in if you give it a chance.

It is on Apple TV+, and I think that may be part of it. It's a very good streaming service tbh, especially if you like sci-fi.

It is anything but that.

I only ever watched the documentary film of the same name. But I keep hearing about how good the show is.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

maybe it's just cuz i'm a sci-fi slut but i still don't really get what part of "soviets win the space race and set off alternate time line" seems boring.

hard sci fi isnt for everyone, i understand, but this is pretty accessible and done INCREDIBLY well, in every aspect.

also, despite the alternative timeline of the show, they still incorporate a lot of real history events (albeit tweaked) into it. which is really fucking cool imo.

im at the point of my rewatch where korean air flight 007 becomes a major plot point, even though the "history" diverted years before that.

Yeah, one of my favorite current shows. I thought season 3 had some flaws, though, got a bit soap-opera at points.

Even if it ended up turning to trash I'd keep watching for Joel Kinneman, though.

King of the Hill is the best show. It has like a dozen seasons, and they all rock. No awkward drama, just hilarious views on life.

I just caught up with the show a couple of months ago. Love it. Season 3 was the weakest season for me, but it was still good TV. I will be there with bells on for season 4.

"weak" seasons in FAM is like saying the 7th wonder of the world isn't quite as good as the other six.
