    Maybe this is just me, but I couldn’t get past the first couple of episodes. The idea of a NASA series that isn’t hopeful and full of characters trying to solve science problems to help their fellow man, it’s just goes against the very idea of NASA for me. From the first episode, it’s just a bunch of unprofessional in-fighting from an organization that is famously technical and professional.

    Sure, we’ve seen some amount of in-fighting with astronauts vs. doctors or bureaucrats, from movies like Apollo 13 or The Martian. But it was a minority of the plot, and ultimately, even the “bad guys” had the best interest of the organization in mind, just from a less-personal POV.
