For All Mankind
Created by Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert and Ben Nedivi, For All Mankind takes place in an alternate timeline in which the Russians beat NASA to the moon in 1969. But in this case, coming in second is a good thing. This is because it forces the United States to open opportunities to women in the space program. What kicks off is an entirely new view of the history of space travel. Each season jumps a decade in the future, with Season 4 playing out in an alternate aughts where public and private space organizations were busy colonizing Mars.
