Shows that feel likeFor All Mankind (2019–)

Explore an aspirational world where NASA and the space program remained a priority and a focal point of our hopes and dreams as told through the lives of NASA astronauts, engineers, and their families.

If you loved For All Mankind, the closest series we have are The Man in the High Castle (2015), Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (2022) and Dark Matter (2015). All three share For All Mankind's contemplative and cerebral feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Stargate Universe (2009).

With no idea whose side they are on, they face a deadly decision. Will these amnesiacs turn their backs on history, or will their pasts catch up with them?
