Watching the first episode of “For All Mankind” right now. Does the show get better? A 15 minute intro to get to the big shocking moment that was always advertised as the basic premise of the show…Russians got to the moon first?! What a twist! (sarcasm mode) Now let’s cut to the US astronauts being pissed and racing to a bar. Each and every single one in their very own brand new Corvette? A portrayal of Nixon that is absolutely nothing like the guy but wants to reinforce the Hollywood trope of the man and Republicans in general?
Sorry, but I am not impressed so far. Does it improve?

Yes it does. A lot better.
Once you accept the alternate history timeline, there's a lot of fun stuff that makes it a fun watch. It has the obligate "woke-y" stuff, because it's Apple TV. Yeah, drug use, gay stuff, etc.
At times it gets soapy too.
This isn't history, so don't try to take it as such. It's science fiction, and as it progresses, it gets more sci-fi.
The Corvette stuff is based on history, by the way.
