The Astronaut Wives Club

OK, unlike the sexist review by "Louie" above which was obviously written by a man who hates women, this show portrays the true emotional bravery these women had. They were married to men who flew dangerous missions in the military, then as test pilots and finally, as astronauts. These ladies never knew if and when they'd see their husbands again, all the while, maintaining some sense of normalcy for the small children they pretty much had to raise alone. They also had to put on a brave face for each other and the public because as it was stated in the book "fear is contagious." If one has read the book, and knows NASA history at all, what these women endured wasn't easy. They formed the actual "Astronaut Wives Club" to be a support system for one another. I am really enjoying this show and am happy it was made into a series!

I really like this show really wish it continued because it about science history. I have been a fan of science history for almost 5 yrs now the October sky hidden figures and this show I really wished they could make a movie of all this besides documentary.

This show was a delightful surprise. I had seen the trailers and assumed it would be just another badly acted, slapped together period drama but I was extremely pleased to find that this show is well acted and refreshing. From the first episode I was hooked and I look forward to the airing of this show every week. The acting is fantastic, the costumes realistic and delightful, the plot is strong and can even be nail-biting at times. Odette Annable and Azure Parsons are a delightful addition to the show and Yvonne Strahovski is perhaps the best, most likable addition to the cast. I am very proud and eager to recommend this show to anyone and everyone.

I love all the characters and the era it takes place. A lot was happening in the country in the 1960s and I love that we get to see it play out on TV again. There aren't too many shows nowadays that has captured this point in time and I think it's did an amazing job! Enjoyed it . To bad it was cancelled .

This is worth watching Being based on the real life astronauts of the space program this historical TV drama is by nature interesting. We've had the men's POV in "From the Earth to the Moon" and now this shows the impact on the wives and family lives. This series jumps a bit on the Mad Men bandwagon of portraying the 60s both in a nostalgic way and critical way. Everyone is perfectly groomed and pretty especially Yvonne Strahovski of 'Chuck' and Odette Annable. The infidelity is very Mad Men and it's interesting to see how the supportive wives deal with the cheating and anxiety of the missions. Insightful look at marriage back then.
