What starts with an interesting premise soon mutates into cheap drama. Hardly any real progress in the core matter happens anymore, which would be the development of the first nuclear bomb. Instead, the series descends into 90 percent who screwed whom and who screwed whom over or out of a career. The bomb only serves a washed out backdrop for the drama. Within a few episodes, you get a sad, hollow thing that otherwise might have been a good series.. The actors and the theme surely were there. That however, was obviously never even considered. Considering how interesting and dramatic the real Manhattan project was, this seems like quite the ignorance. For the sie of drama, the series works almost exclusively with made up characters, hardly using the real people except for cheap voyeurism for example in the case of Oppenheimer.
Long story short: a series for complete airheads without any interests whatsoever.
