The show explores historical instances where human-machine cooperation led to transformative events or achieved technological milestones.[1] The show's first season had 14 episodes. Produced by Edelman Productions, it was staffed by five crew members and six cast members.[2] For the show's second season, the episode about the Apollo 13 mission was filmed at the Cosmosphere.[1] The production team visited Mare Island to film three episodes.[3]
Sierra Filucci of Common Sense Media penned a mixed review of the show. She praised the show for how "its unique method of storytelling" could "bring a new energy to a familiar event". She criticized the show, writing, "But aside from its relatively innovative approach, the show feels a lot like many other documentary-style programs that look back on historical moments."[4] In a mixed review, Angus Batey of The Times wrote about the episode featuring Barnes Wallis and the bouncing bomb, "The approach irritates: the American actors' accents slip in the numerous reconstructions, and the presenter, Hunter Ellis, strolls around tropical locations for no real reason. But the story of a determined inventor helping to win the war is strong enough to triumph."[5]
