The Astronaut Wives Club is another risky effort in period drama that sounds great on paper. This is a sub-genre that is hard to get away from, because the theory not only makes for something easy to pitch, but really should be able to deliver.

All three shows, based on their trailers, just ooze a feeling that you want them to work out, and you want to jump into their world.
The Astronaut Wives Club is ensemble taken to extremes, with every astronaut, and their wives, jockeying for time on screen. You want a road map to get through the pilot,...
