I'm a fan of pretty much anything to do with the space race so I wasn't about to pass this show up, regardless of the reviews. Don't listen to the nay-sayers. The Right Stuff has an amazing cast, beautiful production, stellar writing. The Right Stuff is more of a character drama than about NASA; and, while these men may be heroes, they are no gods, and far from perfect. The Right Stuff does not skimp on their infidelity, alcoholism, and jealousy. I was honestly a bit surprised that it's airing on Disney+. If you're looking for a historical drama similar in tone to The Crown or The Astronaut Wives Club you've come to the right place. If you're looking for fantastical men who do no wrong and space ships that go real fast maybe look elsewhere - but I encourage you to give it a try. I hear it got picked up for a second season! I will absolutely be continuing to watch for as long as they make episodes.
