8. The Astronaut Wives Club

Based on the bestselling book by Lily Koppler, and created by Gossip Girl€™s Stephanie Savage, this follows the wives behind some of the first men to be sent into space back in the 1960s. While their husbands are shooting for the stars, the women find themselves becoming famous in their own right, as everyone wants to hear the stories from the astronauts€™ wives, and this€™ll focus on that rise to celebrity and how they all cope with it. It certainly looks like part, like Mad Men but only all of the characters are Betty Draper, and comes along just in time to fill the 1960s period-piece hole in viewers€™ lives.
