PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

vetsandpets 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.

mayralo I am in love with this show. I started catching up on HULU and can't wait to watch it on TV now that I am caught up. Each family has their own stuff they are dealing with and it makes the show amazing. The wives and husbands are amazing and it is my favorite show. I highly recommend it! At first of course it starts off with questions that the viewer may have, I know I didn't understand some things but of course this show doesn't disappoint! It goes on and tells you the secrets and later on you see marriages building stronger together and supporting each others careers. It's also amazing to see how each wife has their ambition and how it is during this era and what wives were expected to do and how their husbands and society react to them making a name for themselves.

tater-57872 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!

gilligan1965 This is like watching a TV show version of the movie "The Right Stuff" (1983), but, from the astronauts' wives' points of view.Granted, it's not as exciting as the 1983 movie, and, it's somewhat soap-opera-ish and geared for women (I'm sure I'll take flak for writing that); but, because of the subject, "The Original Seven Mercury Astronauts," I find this to be very informational and quite enjoyable...plus, the actresses are very pleasant to look at! :)I almost didn't even watch this until I was advised to because I thought it was going to be 'made-up,' cheap, and, trivial. Then, when I realized whom it was about, I became very interested very quickly...the wives of John Glenn; Alan Shepard; Virgil "Gus" Grissom; Scott Carpenter; Wally Schirra; Donald "Deke" Slayton; and, Gordon Cooper. It doesn't get much better than that for a space-fanatic like me who followed the space program as a child.I just watched the first three episodes of this, and, I really like it. It's very clear about the rivalries between the astronauts' wives, and, of those between the astronauts themselves. However, for a guy, it's not as exciting as if it were told from the points of view of the astronauts themselves and showed all of the simulations, test flights, rockets, and, equipment (like in "The Right Stuff" and "Apollo 13"); but, it's still very informational, enjoyable, and, interesting...I like it.I'm dreading the episode that shows the pre-launch test of the Apollo 1 mission.*NOTE - August 31, 2015 update - I just saw the episode I was dreading... about the pre-launch of Apollo 1 that killed "Gus" Grissom; Ed White, and, Roger Chaffee; and, it was terrible! However, after seeing what came of it in the investigation (BLAMING GRISSOM FOR THE FIRE) I was even more appalled!Then, soon after, minorities were demonstrating and yelling "WHITEY ON THE MOON!""HEY...BLACKEY ON THE EARTH!" Everyone was created EQUAL when God created the Earth and gave us 'ALL' sticks and stones, and, free-will. "WHITEY" chose to invent the wheel and other things and you blame 'Whitey' for those achievements, advancements, and, for walking on the moon!?!? WHY? Why does it always come down to your reverse-racism?THIS SERIES WENT ON MUCH TOO QUICKLY!THERE WERE ANOTHER 'WAVE' OF ASTRONAUTS!This series only briefly mentions Apollos 8 and 11; and, especially, Apollo 13...that suffered the explosion that almost killed three other astronauts and lost them in space - Jim Lovell; Fred Haise, and, Jack Swigert; and, let's NEVER FORGET THE HERO who was disqualified from this launch, but, helped to save it - Ken Mattingly!?!? Watch the Ron Howard directed-Tom Hanks movie about this, "Apollo 13."This series should and could go on 'much slower' and 'much longer! THERE WERE OTHER ASTRONAUTS AFTER THIS - HENCE, another ASTRONAUT WIVES CLUB!!WAY after this, and, it could have put an end to that earlier racial crap about "WHITEY ON THE MOON!" This time they'd have yelled "WHITEY AND BLACKEY ON THE MOON - Americans ON THE MOON!"This series should continue! :)
