The Astronaut Wives Club

Although in the beginning the pilot the show admittedly struggles to introduce each character of the ensemble cast, it only needs a few episodes to truly establish each in their own right. Other than that, the show masterfully weaves in the drama of personal struggle to find identity, a life left behind, remaining faithful throughout the struggles of fame and what that fame can do to a marriage, and the Cold War fever sickening the United States at the time. All the while carrying the theme of support and hope for the future. I will personally be tuning in to every episode of this show to see how the wives are doing.

I'm hooked. It is so refreshing to watch shows that bring back part of history. The Space Program was, is, and will always be a huge part of what America is all about. The 1960's was such a turning point for our country and I am thankful that I got to grow up during this era. How refreshing not to have to watch a horrible reality show. The acting is wonderful and I love seeing many new faces that have terrific acting skills. The story lines are carefully brought to life in a most compassionate way and as for the clothing, I remember my mom dressing like these ladies. It is fun to look back at the typical ranch houses of yesteryear and the old cars that were made like tanks. Sadly, there are only 10 episodes for this short season. Why do these summer fill-ins only have so few episodes? Many regular season shows do not start until October or so. I pray The Astronaut Wives will continue on and film another season. So many people I know watch this show and love it. All the gals in my neighborhood can't get enough of it. Astronaut Wives is lucky to have so many talented actors and it shows.

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.

Amazing show! What I like most about it is the historical background of it all. From Women's Rights to African American Civil Rights and to the assassination of JFK. Hearing about the stories behind the scenes of great contributors to society, astronauts, makes for a great TV show. A lot of my shows have been canceled on TV and really hope this one sticks. 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 doing an amazing job! The scandal, the drama, the politics of it all is what makes this show worth watching. It's just not a show about women and their Plesantville lives.
