Show of the week

What is a person willing to sacrifice to achieve an impossible dream? In a new eight-part drama from the creator of House of Cards, Sean Penn is a veteran astronaut and Natascha McElhone the ambitious aerospace entrepreneur who asks him to lead the first manned mission to Mars. But Penn’s Tom Hagerty has more than the lives of his young crew to worry about as he prepares for launch, because he’s the only parent his troubled daughter has left. Expect a lot of deep musings about man’s place in the universe from Penn, but also plenty of white-knuckle drama. Available for streaming Friday, Sept. 14, Hulu ■
