A dedication to endless wonder

This way-too-short non-fiction autobiography is truly inspirational. Not many children get to live out their childhood fascinations at the level and magnitude of one John Shepherd and to do it with so little . From a rough childhood and an early infatuation with science fiction to becoming a famous name in space cult pop culture John is both likeable and inspiring . The story is not just about how far imagination and dedication to ones craft can produce amazing things but also reminds us that whilst we may search the universe for answers , we are most likely to find them right here at home on Earth.

Great for John, his partner, but why should I care!

I wanted aliens, aliens, aliens. Such a 'unique' story to find on Netflicks. Makes me wonder if lockdown is making them all go gaga.

Points for making us so confused we laughed

Your confused the whole time and then it ends at 16 minutes, you look at who your watching it with in shock then laugh till you cry because no one understands what just happened.
