Apple TV’s "For All Mankind" is cruising into the final episodes of its fifth season, and these are restless times for the Martian settlement of Happy Valley as conflicts mount. We’ve got irate workers rebelling against automation, Earth’s M-6 sending marines to reclaim the Goldilocks asteroid, food supplies running low, and a Titan mission seeking out alien life.Portraying down on her luck security officer and a member of Happy Valley's Mars Peacekeeper Force, Mireille Enos’ ("The Killing") Celia Boyd has quickly become one of the sci-fi series' most compelling characters while she finds herself in the thick of conflicts erupting on the Red Planet."Story always wins," Enos tells Space regarding her casting. "You always just want to be telling good stories. But I'd been telling myself that I really don't want to play anymore cops for a while. I’d done that and I got to do that in a really elegant way. Then the guys came and said they'd love for me to be a cop on Mars. I said, 'You guys, I don’t want to be a cop.' We started a creative dialogue and the thing that was very interesting to me about her is that ultimately she is very skilled, and she believes in herself at the beginning, but she's not good at her job."
