But they never had millions of people suffer in freezing weather because one of their states didn’t want to incorporate its electrical grid with the feds and because the private companies that ran the power plants decided it would be more profitable for them to shut down in the middle of the worst storm that this country has seen in like 50 years

    I thought it's watchable. It has its good moments but the overarching theme is inevitably "communism= bad". It's a good exercise for sporting framing and training yourself to see how opinion is shaped and reenforced. It's not a history show so there are liberties and in these gaps you'll see how they slip in the anti-communism. Like the show will tell you that the design flaw was covered up and kept secret, which is an absolute lie. The design shortcomings were openly discussed in Nuclear engineering circles for years before the accident. With all that I still I say go for it.
