I think they are doing a great job, I need to reread the book now, since it’s been something like thirty years I read it, but I do tire of the methodical documentation of infidelity by the astronauts and I still think John Glenn’s documented nascent political plans were weird. That being said, it’s a worthy effort and you won’t hate it even if you loved the original movie, give it a shot.

Watched the first episode. Thought they did a horrible job of differentiating between the characters. The show seems to assume you already know well who they are. The focus on the infidelity (which was a real thing) and the John Glenn politician stuff annoyed me, too.
