I hope it gets back to the superb level of Season 2, but I will watch it nonetheless, It’s my favourite Telenovela.
If I like it or if I don’t, I think I’ll be calling the spin-off Spatula City.
And season 5 has started. Slow first episode.
I would characterize it as painfully dull and lifeless. I did get a kick out of Mireille Enos appearing alongside Joel Kinnaman for at least the third time.
Oh. Cool… Didn’t realize it was back. I really hope they make the tech bro billionaire out to be the obvious villain. Finally. And I hope everyone who followed him onto Mars dies. 
I really enjoy the alternative histories. Oh! what might have been! How did we end up in the “The Darkest Timeline”? It seems like the histories are written as to be exactly opposite to what’s happening now.
IMHO they missed a big opportunity last season to have labor unrest IN SPAAACE as the main theme, instead we got tech bro millionaire glorification.
Still watching because semi-realistic space is catnip for me and in the hopes of better writing.
Maybe, just maybe, they are setting us up for Techbrogeddon later in the series. Remember, not everyone thought Elon Musk was a complete knob at the beginning.
Bumping the thread due to the major development in this week’s episode: Ed Baldwin finally shuffles off the mortal coil. The ending sequence featuring Michael Dorman and Shantel VanSanten returning was a nice touch; the end credits against the image of the Gemini capsule orbiting the Earth was very cool as well.
I doubt it. While not at all MAGA, the series is a very Republican show - probably the most Republican (in the classical, idealized sense) show currently on TV. They’re not going to go with a “billionaires are evil” plotline.
It is indeed. There are a bunch of shorts in the FAM episode stack that provide historical context and connection points for each season. They are well worth the ~10 mins it takes to watch. They are trying loftily to not slip in current topical allusions, to keep the big-picture, serious tone of the series.
