This is a solid, well-produced, period drama loosely based on real events. Free of melodrama and ham-fisted direction, this expertly made show gives a good impression of life during this extremely tense period in U. S. history.
For anyone complaining about "soapy" tendencies, that is simply not the case. An effective show needs well-rooted characters with full lives and arcs to propel the story forward. It lacks the cheesy speeches and interplay many shows of this ilk suffer from.
As for more details and specifics on the Manhattan Project itself, go watch a documentary. This isn't that. It's a compelling show about people working through a super challenging situation. And it's handled well, and with great care.
If you're stuck on the negative reviews, give it a chance and judge for yourself.
