I have loved this series since it started. The first one I ever watched was about Titantic & I was hooked. This show gives viewers a unique look at things we wouldn't be able to see otherwise. It's often easy to forget that the subjects of each episode were real & working, with flesh & blood humans once upon a time bc we've read about them in books or watched documentaries. "Drain" makes it all tangible again & we learn new things or relearn what we thought we knew already. It's a must watch!
