Chernobyl is fantastic yet harrowing tv and quite difficult to watch. All the more so that’s it’s based on true events.
As other have said, the acting and sets are excellent, as is the writing, the score, and the pacing too.

Makes you wonder what we were/have not been told about the implications. The description by the professor was chilling. I was 24 and living in one of 'the hotspots' as the cloud came over and dumped its load. Scary when you think about it all and how close the world came to full on armageddon which i had never realised. I do wonder if our gov have tracked the long term impact (cancer clusters/types etc). The guys who knowingly gave their lives to sort this deserve all our admiration...Chernobyl is fantastic yet harrowing tv and quite difficult to watch.

There was a documentary a few yrs back about Cheynobyl. It had Ade Edmondson as the lead. Excellent viewing but I was always waiting for Ade to shout "you bastard".

When I was a kid I always remember that 1 in 3 of us would have Cancer now its 1 in 2. Probably because they can detect it better now but you never know.Makes you wonder what we were/have not been told about the implications. The description by the professor was chilling.

That's weird, I watched an episode of Bottom last night, it has not aged well and is dreadfully unfunny.There was a documentary a few yrs back about Cheynobyl. It had Ade Edmondson as the lead. Excellent viewing but I was always waiting for Ade to shout "you bastard".

Me too, you have to stick with it as it is really out there, but he's very funny in my opinion. Loved him in the I.T. Crowd too!
