Chernobyl....

[ToraToraTora]

just watching the last episode as it happens to be on, I;ve seen it several times but I just marvel at the TV making genius. I gave it 10/10 and like they did when they gave Olga the perfect 10 wondered if I was correct. Every time i see it It re-enforces my original score. A magnificent achievement. 9.4 on IMDB, I wonder who/how they marked it down, the last episode gets 9.9!

well this hasnt caused an explosion
I thought it was excellent

very good as scientists who know what is going on, and unable to get it through to stolid bureaucrats.

also try the Death of Stalin - they have great fun making that
including Paddy Considine ( sc I ) redoing the concert as Stalin wants a master copy
( in real life there were three takes and the audience was too scared to protest at all)
Sergei Khruschov sniffed 'completely inappropriate to make fun of my late father's colleagues in this way'

I was working in the North at the time 1986 and I mentioned to my work colleagues that Sellafield had shut down and no one knew the reason why. Also they cdnt restart it, as it immediately tripped again

and because my reputation was the same as on AB - they all chorused no no we dont believe it, after all it is you and no one important

and i asked " Does that mean it hasnt happened?" which they all found very odd indeed. weird, who would ask such a question?

Chernobyl is one of the best miniseries I've seen.

I really like the "true life" miniseries format, quite a specific genre I guess but it seems to make for excellent television, some others I've enjoyed are: House of Saddam, Generation Kill and Des.
