I come in peace... three times a night -- FOR ALL MANKIND (Apple TV Plus)

the show never actually comfirms margo ever successfully evaded her minders so maybe they knew everything from the beginning?

Never explained how they knew about Sergei but very likely they had Aleida's house bugged/monitored since Margo was regularly talking to her and going there. In fact, my wife and I thought it was a bit silly that Margo met him there, but there's a bunch of stuff in the season that doesn't make sense

It looks way too terrestrial though! It's weird how the show fits my bad SF-addled concept of Mars more than real Mars.

Also the scene when Margo met Sergei outside a diner stretches credulity because she would never have been allowed there without her minders.
