Surprised i couldn't find a thread for this show, I could have sworn I posted in one last year. Is anyone watching it? It's in it's 2nd season and I'm really enjoying it. Story is about the scientists involved in the making of 'the bomb' in Los Alamos.

This show has a personal touch for me because I was a casual friend of Robert Oppenheimer's son, Peter, in Santa Fe back in the day. As you might imagine he was a conflicted young man. On one hand he was very proud of his father, on the other he was haunted by the legacy of the bomb. A mutual friend of ours was Jan Kerouac, the estranged daughter of Jack, a haunted young lady as well . Young people whose lives couldn't escape their parents shadow, hard drinking and drugging was how they coped. Sadly Jan died in the mid 90s of kidney failure, I don't know what became of Peter.
