Humanity is in a major climate crisis. So in general I would welcome a show that is focused on solutions.
However this show falls into the same trap some other climate shows fall into, by highlighting projects that make you feel great but won't do much good because they don't have scale.
Even worse, sometimes this show highlights things like natural gas. There was a time when we felt moving to natural gas from coal would be a big improvement. Unfortunately the reality is that even that isn't nearly good enough - we need to move to fully clean energy.
I think the hosts are super nice and the projects are all interesting. But the show just doesn't age well at all.
EDIT: I finished the full 3 parts and decided to upgrade to a 6. They do highlight some things like fusion power which if solved would certainly be a game-changer. I liked the investigation of geothermal in Iceland. And in fairness some of the natural gas stuff in China was basically recycling cooking oil so possibly could not be bad (?) for the environment. The one that I could have done without was the natural gas extraction from a lake in Africa which is basically net positive emissions.
