A recap of the first season finale of Years of Living Dangerously, following the actor Michael C. Hall to Bangladesh to see the effects of a changing climate on a country that had contributed very little to causing it.

The page quoted Hall on his reason for going, describing a collective sense of shame about the environmental impact of the culture he came from, and set that against the position of people in Bangladesh who were not complicit in it. It recorded that he met the climate scientist Atiq Rahman for an account of why the country's geography leaves it so exposed to rising seas, and it noted, with the flippancy that characterised the series of recaps, the eighteen hour flight the journey required.

Of the five recaps cited by English Wikipedia this is the one that engages most directly with the programme's argument rather than with its cast.
