    Such a frustrating disappointment

    ReaderKenka

    Let's be realistic.

    Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

    This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

    The first episode did not even mention Tesla's invention of power transmission. They at least got the fact right that James Watt did not invent the steam engine, he only improved the efficiency of the atmospheric steam engine. You get the impression James Watt was in it for the money as he must've had great legal or financial advice as he got royalties for the coal saved. This arrangement was very lucrative. The patents stifled improvements as they were too broad I think. No one could redo the common "condenser" as James Watt already had that covered.The show covers the invention and improvement of the turbine which made for an interesting viewing.It has a lot of fluff and not a lot of content, made palatable to young school age students maybe.
