It was certainly interesting and I wished I had liked it more than I did. Feel it was a couple episodes too long bloated with emotion trying to capture the stoic sense of duty and respect in Japanese culture but it just got a little long in the tooth.
Super interesting true (mostly) story which if you aren't familiar with could make it worthwhile.
The fact that the plant still isn't decommissioned and is practically a bomb still sitting there was a little eye opening.

Yeah, these nuclear things are weird. Chernobyl is like EVERYBODY HAS TO BE DEAD RIGHT? And it was bad. It was a goddamned catastrophe. However, the Reactors 1-3 were operated until 2000. How the hell could operators live and work in the exclusion zone with all that radiation? Then you read about all the people that sneak in there with Geiger Counters and stuff is all profoundly interesting, but it's weird, and not how we we would think.
And I think 3 Mile Island ran until sometime in the 90s, and only shut down because the company went broke.
Weird shit man.
I will check the The Days though, obviously Ithat shit is interesting.
