Star City
Created by Ben Nedivi, Matt Wolpert, Ronald D. Moore
Step into a thrilling chapter inspired by For All Mankind. Same alt-history universe. Different perspective: the Soviet Union's. Go behind the Iron Curtain with the cosmonauts, engineers, and intelligence officers who risked it all in the race for the Moon. From TMDB

neutral · AI labelView post →I'd really like AppleTV to confirm Season 2 of Star City. In the meantime, this show is my topic for the week.
positive · AI labelView post →Doing some research on Star City (the place, not the show) and I think I found a duplicate of your model in the OKB-1 museum, @victoriascott.bsky.social, just painted up with the proper flag and CCCP. It's even got the same little pedestals at the bottom.
neutral · AI labelView post →If you are looking for a new TV show to get into, then Star City is brilliant. Maybe the best show I have seen this year (a touch ahead of Widow's Bay). Just, wow.
positive · AI labelView post →A very good list! To which I'd add The Other Bennet Sister (BritBox) and Star City (Apple TV). I've seen 5 SC eps and I am enjoying this show a LOT. If Tim Apple doesn't renew that and Widow's Bay, we riot. The people have spoken with one voice, which says: "More Kate O'Flynn!"
positive · AI labelView post →Star City is as good a TV show as Andor. A devastating indictment of the choices that ordinary people make under authoritarian rule. Extraordinary, exceptional.
positive · AI labelView post →Me: "Gosh, Star City is too depressing... What looks relaxing? Oh! A murder show where 'A corpse is found at a Norwegian Christmas tree farm.' That's PERFECT." 😆
negative · AI labelView post →Ronald D. Moore, Matt Wolpert, and Ben Nedivi gave ScreenRant a few tantalizing hints on what to expect in the upcoming fifth season of FOR ALL MANKIND, and they even talked about the upcoming spinoff, STAR CITY. Look for both on Apple TV+ screenrant.com/for-all-mank...

neutral · AI labelView post →Holy crap Star City is good. Finished S01. Apple‘s best sci-fi show IMO. Just exceptional on all levels. Watch it! m.youtube.com/watch?v=V-yA...
positive · AI labelView post →Star City | tv Next week’s Season 1 finale is shaping up to be something special This series has earned multiple seasons, it would be a mistake to let it end here #StarCity
positive · AI labelView post →ALSO this is a niche post for the five people who watch Miss Scarlet (or Miss Scarlet and the Duke) -- Felix Scott from that show appears in Star City! Scott played Patrick Nash in Miss Scarlett and he was a flippin DELIGHT on that show. Very different character on SC but still a delight.
neutral · AI labelView post →Star City is great. If you love For All Mankind, or even if you haven’t seen it, this is an engaging alternate history show. The acting, effects, setting, and tension are superb.
positive · AI labelView post →Great to see 'Star City' set to stream on AppleTV on May 29th! I am the technical consultant on this show but I had to work remotely since it was filmed in Eastern Europe. If you like the space adventures in 'For All Mankind' you won't be disappointed, but the vibe of Star City is unique.
positive · AI labelView post →The first season finale of STAR CITY just dropped on AppleTV and it's fantastic. This series is outstanding and deserves a second season. Don't miss it.
positive · AI labelView post →Star City | tv Among the most exceptional series streaming today #StarCity
positive · AI labelView post →Having all the Russians sound English worked better in Chernobyl than it does on Star City because Chernobyl wasn't a spinoff of a show where the Russians don't sound English.
negative · AI labelView post →Anyway, this storyline is playing out on Star City right now and if this show isn’t renewed for another season I may riot
positive · AI labelView post →Apple TV's For All Mankind asks what would happen if the Soviet Union won the space race. The spinoff series Star City travels back to that historical departure, navigating a bleaker, gnarlier take on the story that stands on its own: #ForAllMankind
neutral · AI labelView post →Star City | tv One of the top series of the year Great storytelling with compelling characters #StarCity
positive · AI labelView post →Apple TV with the quality Widows Bay is one of the top series of the year New series Star City is excellent, it has a dark tone in the spy space drama
positive · AI labelView post →Ahead of For All Mankind season 5 this week, a new teaser for its spinoff, #StarCity, is out. And if you're wondering how, specifically, this show is different from that one. I've got you covered I talked to the showrunners yesterday & learned some great new info about its structure & more.
neutral · AI labelView post →Star City has been such a magnificent series. The best thing I’ve watched since Andor.
positive · AI labelView post →Guys I'm tellin ya right now Star City is easily the best show on TV and only gets better with each episode. Easily as good as Chernobyl and Andor. Will take a while for everyone to absorb its quality but damn.
positive · AI labelView post →Nearly two years after Apple TV announced "Star City" was in development, the streaming service shared a first look at the Soviet-side spinoff series to the acclaimed alternate space history, "For All Mankind."
neutral · AI labelView post →I'm about half way through "Star City", the spin off show from "For All Mankind", showing the alternate space race from the Soviet side. It's on Apple TV. Good stuff, hitting all the expected paranoid totalitarian beats. Rhys Ifans is great as the program director! www.imdb.com/title/tt3214...
positive · AI labelView post →Freelancer with a couple of episode credits on Star Trek: DS9. Never got to be in a room. Still dream of being in the room on something like Foundation, For All Mankind, Star City, or pitching CBS a new Star Trek TV series. Or selling my Dark Arts series to TV.
neutral · AI labelView post →Star City: best TV drama I've seen in years. It starts slow, crafting the tension of living in a surveillance state, and explodes in episode 6. That's followed by a series of twists and a gripping, heart-tugging season finale. Watch watch watch it.
positive · AI labelView post →Star City | tv One of the best series of the year, with a season finale that delivered on every level #StarCity
neutral · AI labelView post →Star City is another great scifi show that demonstrates how a totalitarian state is inherently inept. Misplaced loyalties, paranoia, and lust for power is rewarded, which in turn makes govt systems more stupid and counter productive. It’s a mirror for some current govt actions I could think of.
positive · AI labelView post →Star City | tv A top tier Apple series that deserves a far larger audience than it gets #StarCity

neutral · AI labelView post →Jesus Mary and Joseph that last episode of Star City was insane, operatic. It was Greek drama in deep space out there, I couldn’t look away! Anyone who thinks this show has kinder, gentler Soviets is mental, that episode left scars! What a horrible, anti-human system that was!
positive · AI labelView post →This is really interesting! Especially given the new show Star City!

neutral · AI labelView post →also, this show seems totally accessible to people who didn't watch For All Mankind. I enjoyed the first few seasons of FAM a lot, but while they share the same alt-history space race concept, Star City is clearly going for a more grounded tone that might appeal to a slightly different audience.
