I thought NatGeo did a great job, which surprised me since Doomsday Preppers is abysmal. Heard lots of people criticize how quickly things turned to sh1t--and they may be right--but I think a rapidly occurring coast-to-coast blackout would affect people much differently than a regional event. The main thing I took away from the show was that NO ONE was prepared to deal with the situation, not even the "survivalist" family who bugged out to Colorado. Had the power not come back on, they would have been just as screwed as the dumb blonde in NYC who was worrying about where her next latte was coming from. Lots of food for thought, and I hope that it gets folks out of their comfort zone a little bit.
