    Is there anyone who can watch a show based on their own profession or area of expertise without finding it excruciating and cartoonish in how it represents it?

    Regardless of the accuracy, however, FAM is very good storytelling and with some great cinematography.

      What we do in the shadows perfectly describes how wonderfully awkward it is explaining to other people what GIS is.

    Seems like most of his criticism has to do with how the characters act, not with the science. Aside from the suits not looking like they’re pressurized, he only had good things to say about the science

    I really enjoyed this show but I also was floored when no one spoke Russian. Every astronaut who works on the ISS today is required to speak both Russian and English. I guess I can see not requiring everyone to speak Russian if it’s an adversarial relationship, but imagine not making sure at least one member of the crew spoke it!
