Astronaut Wives Club

Before writing reviews some should remember what they are watching the very title of the show tells you this will not be about the astronauts as they have had plenty of time in the spot light, this is about there wives so one should keep that in mind before adding their opinion. In my opinion the show captures the time well and the characters are lovable and believable the best part of shows like this is that they are true and relatable for the audience. It will capture your attention and take you right back to that time the best and worst of it all, whether its strong women like Trudy Cooper (Odette Annable) fighting for equal rights or the relationship between the Sheppard's that shows how difficult it was for a women to stand up for herself back then! regardless of it being true and knowing what already happened its got you on the edge of your seat!

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 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 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.
