Manhattan is a drama about the clandestine race to build the world's first atomic bomb in Los Alamos, N.M. Flawed scientists and their families attempt to co-exist in a world where secrets and lies infiltrate every aspect of their lives.
Paranoia is kept at a fever pitch. One of the elements that makes Manhattan work so well as long-form narrative is that the milieu dictates a palimpsest of networks of secrecy.
A beautifully executed 1940s period drama about the men and women involved in the top-secret Manhattan Project is at once transporting and provocative.
Manhattan is the result of an unlikely attempt to cross-pollinate Lost with Mad Men, only the audience knows the answer to almost every mystery on the show is "the atomic bomb."
Manhattan is awfully overwrought, stocked with personalities as volatile as the radioactive isotopes they're trying to tame. Its melodramatic tone makes it resemble Lifetime's Army Wives more than it does A Beautiful Mind.
Manhattan is a well-conceived period drama that does a good job conveying the atmosphere of tension and secrecy that surrounded The Manhattan Project during the later years of WWII.
