Starts tonight. I hope it is as good as I think it is going to be. Anyway
a break from the usual Summer fare.

From the Daily Beast
"Manhattan, which follows a group of WWII-era scientists working to build the country’s first atomic bomb and the affect their mission has on their families, will change that. And it’s so good that it just might.
The series takes place, as the opening title card reads, “766 days before Hiroshima” in a desert community called Los Alamos. It’s a dusty commune of sorts housing the country’s most brilliant scientists and their kept-in-the-dark families as the men—and a few women—work out the math that will add up to the world’s biggest explosion. Even the existence of Los Alamos is classified, meaning its inhabitants are incubating in a petri dish, their patriotism and paranoia both festering in a controlled, claustrophobic environment."
