The Astronaut Wives Club

This is worth watching Being based on the real life astronauts of the space program this historical TV drama is by nature interesting. We've had the men's POV in "From the Earth to the Moon" and now this shows the impact on the wives and family lives. This series jumps a bit on the Mad Men bandwagon of portraying the 60s both in a nostalgic way and critical way. Everyone is perfectly groomed and pretty especially Yvonne Strahovski of 'Chuck' and Odette Annable. The infidelity is very Mad Men and it's interesting to see how the supportive wives deal with the cheating and anxiety of the missions. Insightful look at marriage back then.

I love all the characters and the era it takes place. A lot was happening in the country in the 1960s and I love that we get to see it play out on TV again. There aren't too many shows nowadays that has captured this point in time and I think it's did an amazing job! Enjoyed it . To bad it was cancelled .

I really like this show really wish it continued because it about science history. I have been a fan of science history for almost 5 yrs now the October sky hidden figures and this show I really wished they could make a movie of all this besides documentary.

Before writing reviews some should remember what they are watching the very title of the show tells you this will not be about the astronauts as they have had plenty of time in the spot light, this is about there wives so one should keep that in mind before adding their opinion. In my opinion the show captures the time well and the characters are lovable and believable the best part of shows like this is that they are true and relatable for the audience. It will capture your attention and take you right back to that time the best and worst of it all, whether its strong women like Trudy Cooper (Odette Annable) fighting for equal rights or the relationship between the Sheppard's that shows how difficult it was for a women to stand up for herself back then! regardless of it being true and knowing what already happened its got you on the edge of your seat!

Although in the beginning the pilot the show admittedly struggles to introduce each character of the ensemble cast, it only needs a few episodes to truly establish each in their own right. Other than that, the show masterfully weaves in the drama of personal struggle to find identity, a life left behind, remaining faithful throughout the struggles of fame and what that fame can do to a marriage, and the Cold War fever sickening the United States at the time. All the while carrying the theme of support and hope for the future. I will personally be tuning in to every episode of this show to see how the wives are doing.
