I find there's also something far more relatable to the alternate reality 60's and 80's space tech and political environment - as opposed to yet another near-future setting with some rather implausible-sounding technological advancements thrown in to make the story work. Seen that so often already.

I agree S4 wasn't the best, still enjoyed it but not as good compared to the first 3, especially S2.

I think Season 4 improved after Episode 4 when the story focused more on Space.

I agree. However, I would like Season 5 to tackle AI and robots in the future with political adversary!

I can certainly see the parallels with the modern world in the current season but to be honest this series left me a bit "blah".

I skipped through a lot of the space colony bits quickly and focused more on the Earth based parts.

I enjoyed the first season the most so far

I guess it's just modern TV, but everything jumps around so much and the timeline moves so quickly (a function of only having so many episodes in a season now) that I'm left wanting..

So many micro stories and narratives never get fleshed out as they once did in shows of the past

Season three devolved into such trash that I didn’t even bother with season four. North Korean probe was the moment where I literally said “oh F off” and removed the series from my watch list. I know FAM has never been “hard” sci-fi but that was just complete horse sh*t and I was done.

They are going to do a spin-off based on the Soviet side of the space race early on so we might see some things expanded that way.

Saw that! I'll for sure be checking that out eventually

what a wonderful alternate space/history series.
so many awesome characters and stories. Will start a rewatch during the winter.
Can't wait for the next season and it's spinoff Star City

At Comic-Con and surrounding interviews in July it was said 'Star City' will be set in the 70s and won't have time jumps like FAM. Characters from from FAM will show up.
