Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

First thing's first: The target audience for this show is not anyone that already knows a lot about the U.S. space program. If you've seen HBO's "From the Earth to the Moon", the 11th episode of that series does a better job in an hour than this ABC-TV series did in 10 hours—and a more accurate one, too.That being said, the primary actors carry this show—you do care about the characters and what they go through in support of their husbands, et al. As a period piece of Americana and history, too, the TV series excels. The writers could have toned down the portrayal of Louise Shepard, but otherwise, the other six leads are fantastic. The actors playing the Mercury Seven themselves are completely overshadowed, and rightfully so—this is about the women behind the astronauts.I gave this a low review for its VERY poor accuracy, which even the real Rene Carpenter acknowledged publicly as a retired journalist herself. It's like the writers tried to turn these stories into a soap opera for ditzy 20th-century housewife viewers—which was a terrible idea, considering the real, enlightened and liberated 21st-century audience. Basically, the series insulted its audience by talking down to it.As a companion piece to the HBO series, it's okay, but again, just watch that series instead of this one, and you won't miss a thing really—except some fine performances from JoAnna Garcia, Yvonne Strahovski, Odette Annable, Azure Parsons and Zoe Boyle. These five amazing actors carried this series and are the only reason I bothered watching after the first episode.

This show was a delightful surprise. I had seen the trailers and assumed it would be just another badly acted, slapped together period drama but I was extremely pleased to find that this show is well acted and refreshing. From the first episode I was hooked and I look forward to the airing of this show every week. The acting is fantastic, the costumes realistic and delightful, the plot is strong and can even be nail-biting at times. Odette Annable and Azure Parsons are a delightful addition to the show and Yvonne Strahovski is perhaps the best, most likable addition to the cast. I am very proud and eager to recommend this show to anyone and everyone.

I am in love with this show. I started catching up on HULU and can't wait to watch it on TV now that I am caught up. Each family has their own stuff they are dealing with and it makes the show amazing. The wives and husbands are amazing and it is my favorite show. I highly recommend it! At first of course it starts off with questions that the viewer may have, I know I didn't understand some things but of course this show doesn't disappoint! It goes on and tells you the secrets and later on you see marriages building stronger together and supporting each others careers. It's also amazing to see how each wife has their ambition and how it is during this era and what wives were expected to do and how their husbands and society react to them making a name for themselves.

I keep waiting for someone to pull out an iPhone... The sets are right out of 2010.They make a great effort on clothes and cars - but c'mon...most of the buildings, doors, stairs, hotel hallways, carpets, door handles, decks, etc. etc. etc. are like right out of 2015.I lived in the 60's, and this is a total revision of history - from the way these women communicate and act to their "liberating moments"Of course most viewers would never know any better if they can barely recall the 80's.At least they did not put today's obese/morbidly obese Americans in the scenes!America an the world has changed soooo much culturally since those days. Most Americans can't even imagine how different things were - especially the creators of this show.
