“Challenger: The Final Flight”

8.1

Netflix has two markets cornered. Romantic comedies and documentaries. This mini-series came out of nowhere and blew me away. The pacing, the new footage, the storytelling. Excellence on display. You’ll learn, be moved, and leave entertained. Things start off with an emotional weight that doesn’t let up until the final credits roll. Certainly not for the faint of heart, but well worth the emotional roller coaster. So many twists and turns, a wonderfully constructed window into introducing a new generation to such important historical lessons. Another home run by the red menace.
