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.

So much denial going on about the accident. Communism sucks, that's my takeaway from the first episode.

Really solid first episode

More shite happened in this episode than in the entire series of Game of Thrones.

Wow that was really good.

And that is the kind of decision making the progs in this country want. Exactly, what the old man said.

Really? Thought it was just ok. Really frustrating how much denial there was about the accident. Nobody wanted to accept what happened so the workers were lying, the equipment was faulty. All the way up the chain of command they minimized the accident. Nobody wanted to be the bearer of bad news because of Lenin and Soviet propaganda BS.

One actually happened and the other penned fantasy.

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.

The worker ordered to go on the roof knowing he was a dead man doing it was a great scene.

It was. Notice how they had a soldier on him immediately and he was escorted. Not so subtle. They are all dead of radiation poisoning anyway, the entire city.

False. I think only a dozen people died in the first few days
Delayed deaths including people who died from radiation induced cancer only like 30
The worst nuclear disaster in history with a horrible disaster response and less than 50 deaths.
This country should be 90% nuclear.

Naw. Not Pripyat. Fallout fell on the surrounding area, and there were issues with cancers. But the really gruesome stuff was reserved for the responders. The guy that walked on the roof stared down into the core of an exposed radioactive graphite fire.
