...I just finished the series, and I am still not sure what to write. So I am going to speak in metaphors and as briefly as possible (wishful thinking): so Life eventually gives what it has to give and takes away what it has to, for a reason we would never eventually comprehend or digest...the only problem is that you end up caring about what you are watching in front of you so much, just like you care about your own family, that you eventually start confusing reality and fiction, today's politics and tomorrow's, the world today and the world after years and years...endless possibilities and occasions..a mix of laughter, passion, warmth, drama and a pinch of nostalgia..you will feel every single emotion while you are watching, and once the last episode would have ended, you will sit motionless staring at the credits and wondering about yourself, the people around you, the crisis and chaos surrounding you..and you will probably realize that somehow all what is happening could be...or actually is your fault. This will be just a thought..and the whole realization would eventually disappear few hours later and you would go back to doing and behaving like you did before watching anyway..but the journey was eventually worth your time..and it is now stuck inside a part of your brain that you might decide to revisit some day..some year in the future... I can't stress enough that this is a MUST SEE. so just go ahead and watch and judge by yourself.

This is not a show you have seen before. It might seem like it but trust me: it is not. It is not really about the good guys, nor about the bad ones. It is simply human (which is far more complex than one might think). Human with the flaws, weaknesses, hidden desires, rage and despair that comes with it: a naked and brutally honest mix-up of everything: the conflicting feelings about doing what is right (ie Eve), the instinct and urge of doing something bad just to feel something (ie Vilanelle) and the vicious circle of boredom and desperate attempts to stay active. It is a show that intentionally wants to be blurry and foggy so that you won't possibly know what is coming next..and isn't it what being human is after all? not knowing what is waiting for you behind the corner, but continuously acting and pretending that you do?

"First man" is a feast for the eyes, the ears and the senses. It is a love story between man and space, man and the moon, man and grief, man and other humans, and man and earth. A continuous dance and twirls between trials and errors, incidents, accidents, false alarms and right ones. Go and watch it for the thrills, the sensations, the music, the directing, the sound editing and the subtle performances.. a "ride out of this world' in the true sense of the word.
