Scientists are working constantly all around the world to try to fight this pandemic of Ebola, but we also never know when the next pandemic will come. BREAKTHROUGH is very well done, entertaining and has a moral worldview to it with scientists pushing scientific discoveries for the betterment of mankind. The actual scientists are putting themselves in harms way many times in order to help others. Though there are mentions of evolution, and this episode has a lot of blood due to the nature of Ebola. Thus, a light caution is advised.
