As you'll read, it's not like the book, it's not like the film. But it's also not a bad series overall.
The Right Stuff doesn't just look at the training and what it takes to be an astronaut. It looks at the fictionalised lives of the men, women and families behind Nasa's first trip into space. Even the opening credits point out its a "dramatisation" but doesn't say its a dramatisation of fact.
Great visuals, cinematography is good, acting and story are good and the soundtrack ain't half bad.
Having watched the series as someone new to the stories on all accounts and someone seasoned with them, neither of us were under the impression that this was going to be The Right Stuff 2.0. It's good in its own right and worth the watch. Go in with an open mind and leave what you know at the door.
