Judging by trailer you expect some TV show about US space program, but what you will get is 95% soap opera with talking about relationships and nothing happening and the 5% of actual interesting content which should be dominating. This is biggest disapointment from my carefuly selected shows I might watch. Heck I finished Giri Haji and found that underwhelming and rated it only 6/10, but this low budget soap opera (clearly this small Apple company does not have enough budget like some small EU TVs) is on different level, gave it 5/10 with both eyes closed.

Were you expecting a documentary? The trailers weren't deceiving about what to expect: a show about NASA and its personnel in an alternate timeline, so expect drama. Even From the Earth to the Moon , a series revolving around real events, had just as much drama and was just as slow. For a miniseries, there's nothing low budget about it.

problem was there was really no drama at all, just tons of boring talk

There was plenty of drama in the first two episodes. Is it due to English not being your first language? You weren't looking for a documentary, so what were you expecting? What is drama to you? Drama involves dialogue and performance and this show has a decent balance, though it did get overly dramatic in a couple of scenes near the end. This isn't the Jack Ryan series, especially the ridiculous second season, with Michael Bay as one of the executive producers,
but a show that slowly builds up the action.
