The first season starts slow but by the 3rd episode it gets into its stride and really grabs hold of the alternative history idea and goes with it. Good characters, good story arcs and good balance between space/the moon, launch control and home. Well worth the watch.
The second season is trite daytime TV soap opera. The amount of space/moon drama is minimal and boring. The mission control stuff is characters in board meetings mouthing terrible dialogue and making decisions that just would not happen. The bulk of the second season however is family soap opera the like of which I haven't seen since the 1980's, boring implausible plot lines and cringeworthy dialogue. It's like someone said "well the first season was pretty good, let's try and see if we can completely screw up season two".
Watch it for season one, don't bother with season two.
