HBO's Chernobyl (Mini-Series) Official thread

[achtungpanzer]

"Chernobyl, a five-part miniseries co-production from HBO and Sky, dramatizes the story of the 1986 nuclear accident, one of the worst man-made catastrophes in history — and of the sacrifices made to save Europe from unimaginable disaster".



I just watched the first installment of this 5 part mini-series, it is very impressive.

Gonna find a way to watch. Is it an accurate portrayal of what happened or is it biased?

There was a thread yesterday. I watched the first episode and it was great.
Seems very well made, the only thing that threw me off was the fact that they speak english but you get used to it.

The scene where a group of people, some holding their baby, just staring at the fire while radioactive ash is falling down on them is terrifying. They had no idea that meant pretty much instant death.

Definitely recommend.

How much of it is scare tactics subconsciously making idiots afraid of nuclear power? Srs question because if so im not gonna watch it

None in the first episode. You'd have to be a retard to begin with to believe such a thing.

I watched it, not knowing it was a series and was like wtf at abrupt ending. Very interesting. Radiation is no joke I’m surprised more people didn’t die from the careless accident.

Re-activated HBO last night to watch this.

Episode 1 review:
Boom.
It's not that bad.
*people start melting*
omg. it's that bad.

It's gonna be dark, there's an upcoming episode about a squad tasked with killing all the pets left in the evacuation zone, don't think I'll be watching that.

It'll be an interesting series, looks like it'll focus on learning how a reactor explodes when they all thought it could only meltdown (answers on wikipedia), coupled with the politics of the old world socialist view of "let the State worry about the State" and trying not to let the rest of the world find out.

Even the mini interviews with production after the 1st episode were good. Makeup design guy saying it's the most horrific research he's had to do and the writer saying, "they learned you can keep secrets from spreading but you can't with isotopes."

Through Prime after a 7 day trial HBO is $14.99. Accurate so far in the science and response to the accident. As to what happened behind closed doors who knows.

[litljay]

Watched first episode last night. Loved it.

I don't know if it is accurate or not as my knowledge of the incident is limited.

[Sgt T-Man]

9/10, it was very dark and seems like they are not going to hold back the the horrific effects and aftermath.

Cannot wait to watch the other 4 episodes.

[JoeDelts]

Sounds like something I'd really like to watch. I watched a show about the building of a massive dome to cover the site. Impressive feat of engineering. I think they said it would last about 100 years. Future generations will need to figure out wtf to do with that mess at that point.

Watched the first episode Monday night and thought it was excellent. Fascinating to see everyone covering their asses and refusing to acknowledge the truth despite it staring them in the face.

'The geiger counter maxed out'

'No it didn't. Go check again'

'The fukking air is glowing'

'No it isn't. Go check again lol'

Man radiation is terrifying. Show looks sick tho.

[RICHSTRONG]

Amazing that this guy has been living near the devastation w/ no ill effects. fkn 90 yo



van Shamyanok, 90, sits in front of his house in the village of Tulgovichi, near the exclusion zone around the Chernobyl nuclear reactor, Belarus on April 2, 2016.

Shamyanok says the secret to a long life is not leaving your birthplace even when it is a Belarusian village poisoned with radioactive fallout from a nuclear disaster.

On April 26, 1986, a botched test at a nuclear plant in Chernobyl, Ukraine, sent clouds of smoldering nuclear material across swathes of Europe and forced more than 100,000 people to leave a permanently contaminated "exclusion zone."

Tuesday marks the 30th anniversary of the worst nuclear meltdown in history.
