Want to know where you can stream ‘The Right Stuff’ the series? Let’s find out.
What is The Right Stuff About?
The 8-part show chronicles the first 15 or so years of the American Space Program after NASA was founded. The show ‘The Right Stuff’, and the original film, are both adaptations of Tom Wolfe’s non-fiction book of the same title. The one major difference between the movie and the show is the presence of the character of WWII hero and US Air Force pilot Chuck Yeager. Yeager’s character is not present in the TV series, whereas he has a pivotal role in the film. But in most other aspects – script, cinematography, direction, acting – ‘The Right Stuff’ TV series matches the film it is based on. Even though the actors in the series have big shoes to fill – of the heroes they are portraying and of the men who played those heroes before them – they don’t disappoint. All of the actors have done a pretty convincing job. The show predominantly covers the recruitment of the Mercury Seven by NASA and then all of their individual space missions.
