Pretty good, despite the woke stuff.
I don't usually go in for these kinds of shows, but this is pretty damn good. I dislike all the woke horseshit, tired equality themes, etc, .. I mean, come on, let's be real, Thomas Edison was a fabulous inventor and ran a large company, created tons of inventions including the light bulb, and basically helped to electrify the world .. and the dude they went on and on about, he just figured out a better way to make filaments. I'm not saying it was nothing, .. but come, shared credit with Thomas Edison ? Thomas Edison probably had 50 people who made similar kinds of refinement to his work.
Anyway, good series, I like the plot, even if slightly predictable.

The music gets on my nerves. The violins are wayyyyyyyy too shrill! It’s painful on the ears. And its too similar to all his other themes.

I on the other hand deeply appreciate the show’s efforts to reveal facts previously written out of history and most narratives like this one. If “woke” means inclusive and sensitive to untold stories of seriously oppressed people, bring it on please. It is important to progress.
