Yes, and I pointed out the same coincidence to Mrs. Midnight just the other day.

What am I in for?
There's not much more compelling to me than a silent killer. And people performing heroic tasks.
I also can't get enough communist Russia, which is scary all by itself WITHOUT a nuclear meltdown.
This is a great, great series. I love HBO's limited series in general--The Night Of, Mare of Easttown, etc.

Stellan Skarsgard is great in everything that he is in.

Watched this over the weekend, what a great show.
We should definitely give communism another try

The funny thing is, although the failings of communism helped to create this disaster...
Nothing but a communist country could have responded effectively to the disaster.
They just threw people at it with zero regard for life because that's the way it works there.

I think that is just as much Russian culture that wouldn't been necessary in the west, the CIA would not keep a major flaw in the nuclear reactors from the nuclear scientists and people running the plants

i think he means the specific disaster at Chernobyl, he's not wrong but those problems were only caused by the Commie Govt

I read one Russian ex-pat's opinion and he said they absolutely nailed everything, every little bit of Russian culture, lifestyle, dress, all of it.
I spent a week in a Russian chemical plant, and I'd agree with that. They put in a hell of a lot of work on the details, and it showed.

Just started today.
The British accents are distracting.
I get that it is for English speakers but somehow all the Russians with British accents is ridiculous.
Edit: Ok. I take it back.

Extremely well done series imo. I understand there are historical inaccuracies but im watching it for entertainment more than a history lesson

And we are moving that direction
I’ve only watched one episode and that scum is exactly the type I picture in Washington right now.
