    Criminally underrated

    Terrific drama, riveting history, intense inter-relationships, great performances. Why is this show so unrecognized?

    Why haven't many of these actors I love here gone on to greater things? (Rachel Brosnahan is the one exception.) I wish the writers director & cast would make something again.

    From a time when "computers" were people with adding machines

    I've read "109 East Palace," a very good book about life in Los Alamos during the Manhattan Project, and so far it seems that the producers of "Manhattan" have done their homework. Except that Oppenheimer was referred to as "Oppie" by many who were familiar with him.

    This is obviously a fictionalized account of the development of the bomb; I doubt you'll see a "real" person portrayed except Oppenheimer -- and maybe Dorothy his trusted assistant. Seventy years later, the whole affair is still too politically charged to do a "real" docudrama. It might come out that the real troublemaker at Los Alamos, the guy who guided atomic weapons development from the '50s on -- after Oppenheimer had been gotten rid of -- was a raving jerk and backstabber. Can't have that.

    But the show captures the urgency and the chaos rather well, and the details -- the human "computers," for example, were good and fun. The characters were attention-grabbing enough. I enjoyed it. We'll see if they can carry it through for 12 episodes -- or if 12 episodes of non-stop urgency and intensity are too much.

    Update: November 2014. I like this show even better than I did at the start. You who say it became tedious: yes, for awhile it threatened to lose itself in subplots. But the last three episodes roared toward a conclusion that, if the show had not been renewed, would have been the capstone of an entirely complete and satisfying work of fiction.

    In many ways, this season has been Frank's journey to answer this question: what things can a good man do, or not do, in the name of good?

    Seems Like a Lot of Shark Jumping

    I started out as a big fan of this show, partly for the science, whether or not it was accurate relative to history. And I was prepared to put up with the soap opera, "Dallas" qualities. But, I've become increasingly dissatisfied with the prurient and, mostly, implausible story lines. The writers seem to have dedicated themselves to fabricating multiple subplots that they think will dazzle in complexity........flashbacks, dream sequences........not to speak of eavesdropping and other tired devices. (I'm waiting for amnesia.) To me it's turned into a mess, and I've begun to have this visual image 4 or 5 Fonzies lined up on water skis. Sadly, I've decided to tune out.

    Remarkable cinematography adds to the human drama behind the making of the first A- bomb. **UPDATE**

    {review based on the Pilot + scenes from the 2nd episode}

    This a semi-fictional depiction of what happened in Los Alamos, New Mexico during World War II. As you probably know the Manhattan Project was a research and development project for the first Atomic Bomb, thus the name of the show Manh(A)ttan with the middle A stylized as separated.

    The series follows the lives of the families living in a strict, military controlled, village in the middle of the desert. In that place paranoia rules. Because of the big secret (the development of the "gadget" as they call it) everyone is considered a possible leak or a suspect for espionage. Their correspondence to the outside world is controlled, the army makes random checks to them and their belongings, they even have to take polygraph tests if they seem more suspicious than others.

    The production has nothing to envy from a feature film. Attention to detail. Countless extras and above all a remarkable cinematography. The way they make you feel the "space", the atmosphere of this place is extraordinary.

    I hope it will continue in the same fashion and not consume itself in many subplots and little dramas that will make it tiresome. (If it does, it wouldn't be the first time a great pilot is followed by mediocre episodes). But for now...

    ***Highly recommended.

    {{{UPDATE after having seen 9 episodes}}}

    Unfortunately my fears have been realized. The show is full of pointless subplots and is now boring and far from entertaining.

    Oppenheimer's screen time is measured in ...seconds in the 10 hours I wasted to watch this.

    The race for the atomic bomb and WW2 is almost absent.

    It's all about the lives and the little dramas of the wives, the mistresses and the ..$2 prostitutes who live in the camp. Who gets high with what, who is screwing whom etc.

    Maybe they should change the title to MANHATTAN HOUSEWIVES.

    ***Overall: Avoid it. I'm changing my rating from 8 to a (very generous) 4.

    shocked by the good score

    Ill be short: people loving history, you will be disappointed.

    People loving relationship drama,people complaining about life drama,and any other imaginable kind of poor written drama, this will be you cup of tea.

    Production,acting wise it all looks great, but this a very sorry poor attempt of an excuse for having one of the most intriguing time periods in history, reduced to pointless family issues of mostly even fictional people.

    Was stupid enough to watch it till episode 9 before realizing how much i was wasting my time.

      The actors Katja Herbers and Ashley Zukerman, playing Helen and Charlie, are really a couple. They fell in love on set.
    • Goofs
      The show frequently has the military using Metric distances. The military during WWII were still using customary units (feet, yards, and miles). However, these were military scientists, who would have indeed used metric.
