The Right Stuff has been cancelled. https://deadline.com/2021/04/the-right-stuff-canceled-disney-plus-shopped-warner-bros-tv-1234726920/ They are trying to shop it around, maybe to HBO Max, but lets face it the show wasn't very good, it's probably a goner. It's a shame, I had been really looking forward to it before it started, but they took a really interesting story, good production values, a decent cast (arguable but I've seen a lot of them in other things and with good material they are definitely capable of better) and managed to suck the life and energy out of everything. The whole thing felt flat. I hope the cast are freed up soon so they can move on to other things.

If there is a season 2 production will be moving to California. https://deadline.com/2020/11/coronavirus-california-tax-credits-hunters-right-stuff-amazon-disney-1234617652/ That's got to improve its chances for renewal. I don't know what the ratings are like but the show has hardly been a critical success and I haven't noticed much audience buzz.

I haven't seen the movie and I don't really have any interest in searching it out, I'd rather judge this show on its own merits. So far its pretty bland. I don't have any problem telling the characters apart - well the main three - the other four are that guy from Mad Men, that guy from One Tree Hill and two others! I do think that we're half-way through the season and I don't feel we've really gotten to know any of the characters. And since we're not getting much space or training to keep things interesting that's a huge problem. Everything is very superficial or soap-operish. My eyes were seriously rolling at not-Martha wanting to change her name to Alan!

I liked this episode more than the first one. Patrick Fischler is great and its nice to see Danny Strong on screen again. So far Gordo and Trudy are the most interesting characters - at the moment John Glenn is sanctimonious and Alan Shepard is an ass. Hopefully they'll start fleshing out all the characters soon.

I liked it. It certainly looked great and evoked the period. I've never seen the movie so I can't make comparisons. I thought all the actors did well, although I struggled with some of the accents - I couldn't catch half of John Glenn's dialogue. I'll probably keep watching.
