Last Days of the Space Age

Here we go again I don't know what's wrong with people honestly I swear I don't this should not be below a seven for sure it's a really good series and good acting with good actors sincerely playing their roles roles that tell a story of a time and place which seems perfectly realistic to me and yeah oh yeah it does cover some topics about Aboriginal people and their suffering that are still relevant I'm quite sure today but some people just don't want to be bothered with it and it also has family family family stories a Russian beauty queen of Vietnamese family who are struggling yeah they're all struggling just like me just like we give it a chance it's beautifully filmed and they are good stories even if sometimes they seem scripted so it is that life is such and art mirrors life.

I sort of understand what the crew were thinking and trying to do when they were creating this series but it did not work at all. I found it difficult to watch this series and I am sure other viewers do as well. The storyline throughout this entire series was poor and weak and did not have enough direction. The cast selection throughout this entire series could have been a whole lot better and stronger. They did not at all commit nor connect to the storyline nor to their respective characters. There was not any sign of real chemistry displayed throughout this entire series between the cast members.

I found myself looking for something a little different to watch and decided to pick up The Last Days of the Space Age on Disney+

With no teasers or trailers, I think I was expecting something along the lines of a grounded SciFi drama.

What I got was an evolving period piece that captured a full gamut of transitions that were happening in the world, which seemed to be at breakneck speed and yet somehow this story works it into a slow burning crescendo so you can let it all sink in. Overall it gives the breathe of characters enough room to care and learn about their interwoven story arcs

It's not stellar, but it is a refreshing change of perspective.

With so much content on streaming, it's refreshing to watch an original series especially from Disney. Straight and simple, it's a great new series! I don't understand why people are always the same and pick on the minor things! It's full of interesting fresh characters rather than the same old safe format!! Characters like Eileen and Lam are fantastic to watch. Tilly's story is great would love to see Tilly and Lam find the Skylab debris in the second season!! Seriously this series CAN NOT be a limited series! This show deserves a second run at least!!

David Chidlow you amazing man. Thank you for telling such a warm, exciting and fresh story!!

Bharat you are a genius director! I throughly enjoyed your first two episodes. Such skill and care taken to showcase such a beautiful story, time and characters.

Disney it would be amazing if there was a second series as I am now invested in the characters and story.

It seems that writers these days have so little imagination that they can't fathom a time and place with different people and values to those of 2024. Putting in a retro setting and costumes does not make this set in 1979. The people, relationships and what they say are straight out of 2024. You would never see these people in 1979 behaving and talking like they are.

I am so tired of TV shows being infused with values and agendas from today. What would have been very interesting is to show us what was of concern to people living 45 years ago. Now that would be interesting to see for a modern audience.
