The Days

I continue to struggle  to watch "The Days" on NF. It's a dramatization of the Fukushima disaster. I find anything nuclear super interesting. But this show is absolutely awful. The writing and acting are just horrible. I will stick with it a while longer. I don't know much about the details of this incident, nor do I understand why Chernobyl is considered so much worse (could it be propaganda, Japan is an ally and Russia is not?)

Same with one, the title of which I forget, about the Gioania incident in Brazil; that one was so bad, I had to turn off. (tl,dr: somebody stole a radiation machine from an abandoned hospital and in so doing irradiated a ton of people).

On a somewhat more positive note, we watched "Still", about Michael J Fox's struggle with Parkinson's. I quite enjoyed it, though since then I have been thinking about all the ways it felt short. It was sort of fun to see MJF's wife and kids and a bit about how he navigates his disease. But it had nothing to say about the disease itself, or how people with less resources than him manage.
