CRITICS OF "Challenger: The Final Flight - Season 1"
Chicago Sun-Times
The docuseries isn't just about newsmagazine-style journalism. We learn the back stories of the crew... There are heartbreaking moments reminding us these brave and bold explorers were also lovely, caring, real people.
Challenger: The Final Flight is an effective time machine, taking me back to a formative moment that I, like so many people, was obsessed with as a child.
[It] sometimes gets caught up in the technical details of the shuttle or the cascading dissension at NASA a tad too long... But at its core, [It] presents a moving legacy for the brave crew members who died in the U.S.'s most notable space tragedy.
[Challenger: The Final Flight] may not offer any earth-shattering revelations about NASA's most famous catastrophe... But the series does take a deep dive into the story, providing no small amount of drama and some eye-opening details.
Challenger has no real take on this but to balefully acknowledge it happened and commemorate those who were lost; it's not the most ambitious of goals, but it's enough.
They do what good documentarians do: contextualize a major moment in a way that clarifies it for people who weren't alive when it happened and makes it more vivid for those who were.
