The Manhattan project was real but the characters and minor subplots are mostly fictional because they focus more on tensions and dynamics of living in a prison-type environment. If you can get over that, it is actually pretty good. If you were hoping to see a room of people just doing math on slide rulers all day, then you will be disappointed as science and math are the backdrop for the show. Those people looking for stories of the real scientists should probably read the books written on them.
The first episode was dry, but the third one was interesting. Hopefully, will keep getting better with each episode.
