Reception
Verne Gay of Newsday called the first episode about Apollo 11 "an essential and long overdue reminder" of how the event was the work of many. He said the episode made an "honorable effort" to include the women who contributed to the Moon landing, made necessary by the 2016 book and film Hidden Figures, and largely ignored by other stories told about the event. Of a later episode about the Chappaquiddick incident, Gay said, "Alas ... [this] episode makes a hard landing back to Earth."https://www.newsday.com/business/astronaut-frank-borman-commander-of-the-first-apollo-mission-to-the-moon-has-died-at-age-95-ulfwn0dc https://web.archive.org/web/20190419231737/https://www.newsday.com/entertainment/tv/1969-the-moon-1.29992316 live April 19, 2019 '1969' review: Shining a light on the moon and the women who got us there Gay Verne Newsday April 19, 2019
A review in Vox framed the Manson Girls episode in #metoo terms. "There's a Manson girl counternarrative now"[...]"The women of the Manson family who didn't go to prison have spoken out about their treatment at Manson's hands, and they are beginning to find an audience [...] as these women continue to insist on their identities as not just 'the Manson girls' but as agents and human beings in their own right, popular culture is starting to take notice."
