Apple TV's Stellar 5-Part Sci-Fi Series Is Already Considered a Modern Classic

Apple TV has cemented itself as the prime streamer for science fiction television, especially given its biggest hits, like Silo and Pluribus, are squarely in that genre. Central to that surge is one of Apple TV's early series, For All Mankind, created by Ronald D.

Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi. The show unfolds in an alternate universe where the Soviet Union beats the United States to land the first human on the moon. The series has collected numerous accolades, including a Saturn Award for its second season, and stands out because it isn’t based on an established franchise.

That originality helped demonstrate that new ideas can still thrive on television and helped pave the way for Apple TV’s current focus on science fiction. A major draw is the care put into the alternate timeline: NASA develops technologies that push the boundaries of space travel, with planned manned missions to Mars and colonies on the Red Planet.
