Just finished watching it. Well done, for a commercial TV show trying to appeal to a mass audience. Interestingly, it was broadcast directly after a similar show about Edison. Both shows mention the rivalry between the two, but both acknowledge that Tesla won the day as far as distribution of electricity was concerned. The Edison version moved on to describe his other considerable contributions once he sold off GE, but alluded to his being wrong about DC being the only way to go. They also tried to make a case that modern systems are going back to DC, citing Solar power as the reason, but my experience is that nobody is really using the DC directly, it is still being converted to AC for distribution.
