For All Mankind S5 Opens with a Slow, Mars-Rooted Reboot

The AV Club’s review of For All Mankind season 5’s premiere ‘First Light’ describes a deliberate, slow setup that jumps to the 2010s: Ed Baldwin is an aging, cancer-stricken admiral on Mars, mentoring a new generation while a rising Mars movement and a couple of Earth–Mars political frictions loom. Aleida Rosales has become Helios’ CEO, pursuing Meru while space progress and governance collide with personal and planetary stakes. The episode leans into world-building over space action, setting up a nine-episode arc that promises political intrigue, a murder mystery on Mars, and continued questions about humanity’s expansion beyond Earth. The piece also includes concurrent reviews of The Pitt, Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, and Invincible as context for the week in TV.

"Loneliness and Glamour: Spaceman Movie Review"

Adam Sandler stars as a despondent cosmonaut in Netflix's "Spaceman," a space drama that fails to explore the emotional impact of deep space travel, focusing instead on the mundane earthly dramas of his failing marriage. Adapted from Jaroslav Kalfař’s novel, the film features Sandler's character hallucinating an alien creature offering marital advice, while his wife, played by Carey Mulligan, is left with little to do. Despite some visually striking moments, "Spaceman" ultimately falls short in delivering a compelling exploration of space and human emotions, leaving Sandler adrift in a lackluster narrative.

'Constellation' Series Review: A Stellar Sci-Fi Thriller Unfolds on Apple TV+

The new Apple TV+ series "Constellation" follows an astronaut's struggle to survive and return to Earth after a disaster on the International Space Station, blending elements of previous space thrillers like Apollo 13, Alien, and Gravity. The slow-building, visually stunning series stars Noomi Rapace as astronaut Jo Ericsson, who begins to suspect that her daughter back on Earth may not be the same. With shifting perspectives and unreliable narrators, "Constellation" requires commitment and patience but offers a haunting story about the love between a mother and a daughter.
