Scully Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Probably been covered, but I hadn’t seen it. Daughter recommended this some time ago but only just got round to watching the short series over the last few nights, and have to say how impressed I am. What a massive production, and worked in every way. Superb watch and extremely revealing if anyone hasn’t seen it as yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 Agree. Best thing I've watched in years. The attention to detail was stunning. Chernobyl 3828 is a documentary on youtube that's well worth a watch too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smokersmith Posted June 10, 2020 Report Share Posted June 10, 2020 It’s probably a year since we watched Chernobyl, but it’s still very vivid in my mind .. superbly made. Normal People is slow burn to start with, but worth sticking with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akey Posted June 11, 2020 Report Share Posted June 11, 2020 If you listen to podcasts, its worth getting the Chenobyl podcast, its done with the writer / producer of the show, and goes episode by episode and talks through the history and the changes / choices they made in the show. Really interesting and actually got me watching the show for a second time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello, I started watching that but the story line never really changed, would have been better if they went into adult hood with a better ending ? Hello, never watched Chernobyl but how much was true to the actual events ? Edited June 11, 2020 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much all of it as far as I’m aware. I think there was a disclaimer at the end credits stating that the miners ‘head honcho’ was created as an indicator of the character of Russian miners in general.

Cosmicblue Posted June 15, 2020 Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) It was very good, really captured the mood, there is barely a smile in the whole 5 hours viewing. Cross-checking the drama with the facts as described in Wikipedia and it was pretty close to factually correct too. The politically driven, rear-end covering deception was also covered too. Excellent and recommended. Streamed from Amazon - think was £11.99 in HD so good value. Edited June 15, 2020 by Cosmicblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
