For All Mankind (2 seasons and possibly another on the way) on Apple Plus is pretty good. It's a alternate history of the space race based on the concept that the Soviet Union got to the moon just prior to Apollo 11. Basically, a version of the space race where it was really an ongoing race rather than an American victory so great that the USSR eventually gave up and then the USA followed suit. It is captained, or Executive Produced, by Ron Moore, who has cut his teeth on more fanciful SciFi in the form of Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Carnivale, and Outlander.
The story follows a fairly detailed and historically accurate vision of NASAs plans and utilizes quite a few historical characters both deep faked and played by actors, and some who are slightly fictionalized. I won't say that all are completely realistically portrayed but they are usefully managed for the purposes of the series. It plays with being a bit woker than it needs to be right at the end but it's a good deal of fun and hopefully there will be more of it.
