Every now and again there emerges something on television that rises above the pap, that compensates for all the "Walker: Texas Ranger" and "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman." Apologies if I sound jaded, but it has been a while since I've seen a television show I could classify as "Must See."
"From the Earth to the Moon" is simple in its story, humble in its execution, and simply inspiring its effect. With a couple of exceptions, the series does not contain marquis actors, but yet it does contain amazing writing and nonetheless sophistication in directing. Each episode emerges as its own vignette, sometimes dramatic and other times even amusing, but always entertaining.
Production quality is high, as is the scoring. Special effects are extremely well done and they do not eclipse stellar acting performances by Dave Foley, Tim Daly, Tony Goldwyn, and Paul McCrane to name a few.
I bought this on VHS when it was first released but now I'm considering buying it on DVD. Yes, it is that good.
