Shanaman, Noah (TTh) For All Mankind 50
This show is a Apple Plus exclusive. It is a loosely based fiction, set during the Cold War and Space Race. It deals with civil rights along with women's rights. Unlike the real world the Soviets beat us to the moon and were also the first to put a woman on the moon. Everything looked lost till they discovered there was water on the moon. President Nixon was mad that the Soviets were beating us so he said the US would be the first to put a base on a moon. Eventually they did. In the second season is set 10 years later, the Cold War and Space Race are still going and the Soviets and USA both have bases on the moon. The US send Marines to be security because the soviets took a mining operation. Eventually they confront the soviets and shoot them. One dies but another survives and wants to defect to the US. Russia is mad and they attack the moon base along with setting up a blockade of the moon because they found out the US was sending nuclear warheads to the moon. War is about to erupt but US and Soviet astronauts do a peaceful handshake in space on live TV and that stops all the escalation. The next stop is Mars. I strongly recommend watching this.
