‘Moonhaven’ Review: Ambitious AMC+ Drama Is One of the Most Exciting New Sci-Fi Stories in Years
by Steve Green
“The most remarkable thing about “Moonhaven” — the latest original drama for the streaming service AMC+ — is the way it’s able to indulge its creative ambitions on an expansive canvas, all without losing sight of the individuals who make up the tableau.
