Reception

Reaction to the program has been relatively positive. It is praised for its compelling, human-centered narratives but criticized for focusing on particular issues rather than providing explanation for wider industry problems, or giving the viewer answers as to which brands and products are unaffected by the issues the program presents.[3]

gollark: I mean, probably not as many radioactive things being released, at least.

gollark: Wouldn't a fusion reactor with failing containment... vent several-million-degrees plasma everywhere?

gollark: Solar is kind of nice and all, but storage is a problem and so is having to blanket miles of land in solar panels.

gollark: Comparatively low-hanging.

gollark: Fission is basically good enough and there is loads of low-hanging fruit.
