I love this series but Episode 1 is not the best in my opinion. I recommend watching Episodes 2 through 8, then go back and watch 1 and 10.

That YouTube channel only has 4 episodes, but the rest (including 2 more seasons) can be found on https://archive.org/details/ConnectionsByJamesBurke

Especially relevant given current circumstances. I'm sure that's why it was posted today.
