I'm hooked. It is so refreshing to watch shows that bring back part of history. The Space Program was, is, and will always be a huge part of what America is all about. The 1960's was such a turning point for our country and I am thankful that I got to grow up during this era. How refreshing not to have to watch a horrible reality show. The acting is wonderful and I love seeing many new faces that have terrific acting skills. The story lines are carefully brought to life in a most compassionate way and as for the clothing, I remember my mom dressing like these ladies. It is fun to look back at the typical ranch houses of yesteryear and the old cars that were made like tanks. Sadly, there are only 10 episodes for this short season. Why do these summer fill-ins only have so few episodes? Many regular season shows do not start until October or so. I pray The Astronaut Wives will continue on and film another season. So many people I know watch this show and love it. All the gals in my neighborhood can't get enough of it. Astronaut Wives is lucky to have so many talented actors and it shows.

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.

This is worth watching Being based on the real life astronauts of the space program this historical TV drama is by nature interesting. We've had the men's POV in "From the Earth to the Moon" and now this shows the impact on the wives and family lives. This series jumps a bit on the Mad Men bandwagon of portraying the 60s both in a nostalgic way and critical way. Everyone is perfectly groomed and pretty especially Yvonne Strahovski of 'Chuck' and Odette Annable. The infidelity is very Mad Men and it's interesting to see how the supportive wives deal with the cheating and anxiety of the missions. Insightful look at marriage back then.
