    Available on HBONow or HBOGo as well if you don’t want to waste DVR space or wait for a re-run

    I recorded the first episode off one or the other via DirecTV. Pick up with the regular broadcasts starting with the next episode. I've got tons of DVR space. (Not enough good stuff to record, I guess...)

    Nuclear power is a complicated social dilemma.

    On one hand it is better form of energy production then the alternatives- on paper. The problem is human nature. Nuclear reactors are a screwup intolerant system, and realistically profit minded companies (or status seeking government managers) will breed errors. The one thing Fukushima and Chernobyl share is the human element. Risks are minimized, safety standards are ignored or cut, so on and so forth. Do that with a diesel generator and only the owner pays the cost. The consequences of mismanaging a nuclear reactor are much higher, and it is sensible to question if the benefit of the technology is worth that risk.

    Obviously, it doesn't rise to the level of danger represented by cow farts.

    Agree. Watched it with the missus last night. Should be an interesting series.
