The movie strongly implies that the bomb tested at the Trinity site was an uranium bomb. It was in fact a plutonium bomb similar to that used at Nagasaki. The only uranium bomb produced by the Manhattan Project was the bomb used at Hiroshima.

This review is based on episode 1 only

The show starts off promising, going over how Uranium was founded as well as it's properties. But then the it starts going off on its' destructive power. There was too much of that "Unleashing the Dragons Tail" nonsense going on. I was really hoping for more of an informative documentary, not some mythical tale. Towards the end of episode 1, he repeated way too much about what happened in Hiroshima. It sounded like it started to get too political. I then read the summaries of the next two episodes and knew exactly where it was going, so I decided to cut it off here.

Overall - Starts off promising, but then gets too mythical for me.
