This first episode is a very good example of our dependence on technology. In 1978 they did not have computers being widespread yet but computerization and internet-ization of our daily lives makes this episode ever more relevant. The New York blackout and other disasters like it serve us as a reminder on how dependent we are on technology in our daily lives.
The narration is interesting and fact based, which is always a plus for Documentary style series. The editing was probably the downside, but it may have been intentional given the subject matter.
This series is shaping up to be an under-appreciated gem and definitely worth watching for anyone wondering whether to pick it up. Don't let the release date fool you, it is still quite relevant.
