The Astronauts (2020–2021)
9/10
Tried something different, like I am Frankie, and succeeded

Warning: Spoilers
This show is something I was excited for, and I am glad to say that it really delivers. It is surprisingly suspenseful and keeps me on the edge of my seat. (Like, seriously. The latest episode was just...wow.) And it actually does a good job at being emotional. In the first episode, before the group blasted into space, the child actors did a great job sounding believable. And speaking of the actors, I like all the characters. Although, I do have a few things to say about some of the children. One character named Martin is someone who likes to be sarcastic and has some was, but he likes to do that by yelling. Now I'm not saying his voice acting is bad, I just don't think he should do it everytime. Then another character, Will either doesn't take some things too seriously, or is too much of a ditz. Like, in one episode, Elliot was telling a story to the gang about a kid's life that they didn't enjoy (you could probably guess who), and when he was done, Will didn't even realize what was happening, which almost ruined the moment. Also, I can't tell if the creators know that time moves faster in space and implement that, or if they have time move normally, because there aren't any signs showing which one it is. But overall, this is a really good show, and hopefully, we get more shows like this from Nick.
