The greatest movie ever made..!

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

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.
