Anyone watched it? Is it good?

I'm halfway through the first episode and it is looking pretty OK.

Premise

In an alternate timeline in 1969, Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Leonov becomes the first human to land on the Moon. This outcome devastates morale at NASA but also catalyzes a U.S. effort to catch up. With the Soviet Union emphasizing diversity by including a woman in subsequent landings, the United States is forced to match pace, training women and minorities who were largely excluded from the initial decades of U.S. space exploration. Each subsequent season takes place 10 years later, with season two taking place in the 1980s, season three taking place in the 1990s, and season four taking place in the 2000s.

at some point it tips from fun slop to mostly boring/bad/insulting slop. but until then a few good moments here and there. I actually like ed and how kinnaman plays him, he seems like a realistically dunderheaded type of murrican and the series seems to take a sort of glee in making him suffer terribly
