Chernobyl starting tomorrow on HBO

freaking IN.

Been looking forward to this

Is this gonna be anti nuclear power propaganda?

Can’t wait.

I am excited about this show and I poured over the Wikipedia account of the Chernobyl accident. All the players involved in the tv series and who they were in real life. Sounds like a lot of brave people kept it from being way worse than it could have been. I was nine years old went Chernobyl happened and I remember hearing the news reporting on it but it didn’t mean anything to me back then.

Is it a documentary about the melt down of book readers?

Definitely enjoying this. I think this will end up being another great miniseries by HBO. The visuals/audio are just haunting and it does a great job to show the wickedness of ionizing radiation. Something you can’t see is always scarier once you know about it. Has to be up there close to the top in terms of the nightmare level of a natural phenomenon(albeit extreme in this case). I can’t think of a shittier way to die.

Its really irritating how this incident was handled up the chain of command and with the State, but luckily many lives were ultimately saved by the sacrifice of a few who may and may not have known the true severity.

That was an outstanding episode, I would have binge watched the whole season, if I had discovered it after all the episodes had aired.
Good TV is hard to find sometimes, I'm talking to you, GOT season 8.

I'm just waiting on His Dark Materials.

This episode reminded me of a really awesome phenomenon called Cherenkov radiation “electromagnetic radiation emitted when a charged particle (such as an electron) passes through a dielectric medium at a speed greater than the phase velocity of light in that medium.” Obviously nothing is allowed to move faster than light, so radiation is emitted in order to obey this law.

That was a goddamn horror movie, and I loved it. It was way better than I expected, and I expected something great.
