People got excited because "ooh deaths!" which turned cheap pretty fast. At some point I felt like the write was trying to be like an edgy teenager and tbh I felt like watching a mexican soap opera but with swords and fantasy.

Hungarians only got to know about the catastrophe because one Hungarian scientist decided to call several kindergartens and schools from a pay phone in order to keep children inside. After that gossip about the Chernobyl accident started to spread and some free radios and television figures decided to tell the truth. Because of them the government couldn’t keep quiet anymore... but yeah, after a week of the accident Hungarians were told that there are no radiation anymore, everything is safe, but we should still wash vegetables and fruits... So many people died, especially Hungarian trucks drivers, because they had to bring stuff to Chernobyl and they also evacuated a lot of people. They were told that it’s completely safe, and they would only get a tiny amount of radiation. All of them died before the age of 40, including my grandpa.

That intro by Stellan Skarsgard is the explanation I was looking for. People fail to realise that the Soviet Communism idea was a religious concept. It was infallible, it was based on sacred texts written by Marx and Lenin and could not be challenged or improved because it was already perfect. Any admission of a mistake carved away at this concept of infallibility. Just like god is never wrong, neither was the Soviet system. Anything else was blasphemy.

[@iosefka7774]

The Chernobyl incident and the Soviet bureaucracy had literally nothing to do with Marxism-Leninism. This is like blaming pedophilia in the Catholic Church on Christianity, or blaming the Challenger disaster on capitalism. This was merely the failure of authoritarianism, which was and is just as present in Western Europe and America. "Fail to realise..." Criticism of the USSR is the default stance in the West. You aren't smart or more educated for saying these things. Most laymen would tell you that Marxism is a form of Satanism.

after Chernobyl GOT is like comedy )

[@Balmighty1981]

This series deserves an Oscar

[@LisaBeergutHolst]

"This very stubborn, recalcitrant person who refuses to accept any responsibility for what happened..." Hmm, remind you of anyone?

[@cotiorassilviu8467]

And when you think that the creator of the show was involved in Scary Movie 3 and 4...what a jump!

[@eliotcole663]

He finally made the real scary movie...

[@mcgraphicstyle]

A miniseries that should be seen by anyone, specially in schools of all levels, explaining well the context, the reason for certain behaviors determined by the political condition, the technical aspects etc. Thanks for making this wonderful and touching show.

[@fredpinczuk7352]

Jarred Harris is a remarkable actor. No matter the role he picks.

[@julianhettich6370]

Congrats HBO for one of the greatest series ever ! I'm absolutely shocked and blown away from it. It's just incredible!

[@Tam-gg4zr]

I love how they portrayed a scientist (legasov) and a politician (shcherbina) working together to successfully fix a man made disaster which is a dynamic that is sorely lacking in our current times. Like guys, if politicians and scientists got along we’d be so much better off but yeah flawed governments 😶

[@r0863]

tha last 5 minutes of these series literally broke me. It was just 33 years ago and actually could be prevented. Heartbreaking

[@hazimabedwale3428]

The best show ever

[@HaroutBulbulian]

Great work show how RBMK reactor workers and how reckless thay are

Thank yoy from Russia for this series! Our filmmakers are almost all crooked ignoramuses and can only make stupid pointless comedies.

[@thomasmott3518]

What I love abotut the series is that whilst it, on surface level, can be viewed as a critique of Stalinism, in reality it is a critique of ALL kinds of government. I know this isn't exactly a deep level examination of the series, but it really cuts into the major issue with all forms of authoratarianism: control. No matter the ultimate goal with any form of government, controlling how the people think is never the solution and that was so perfectly portrayed through the performanace, atmosphere and dialogue. However people choose to interpret the message of the series, this is (to me) the 1984 of the 2010s, an example of a series that can be used by both sides as an "proof" of "their" ideology but is ultimately a piece against ALL forms of totalitariansim.

[@sjsbmksps]

They have built massive sets, perhaps somewhere in the US then.

[@wino0000006]

It was shot at the decommissioned Ignalina Nuclear Power Plant located in Lithuania - a closed two unit RBMK-1500 nuclear power station. So the resemblance to the Chernobyl power plant is almost identical - it is just shorter (2 cores instead 4).

[@pastukas]

The city scenes were shot in Fabijoniškės district of Vilnius Lithuania.They only had to use cgi for the skyline to delete more modern structures and add forests along the entire horizon, as there are no forest background there.

[@Cohdiboi]

34 years later and I find it amazing how many parallels you can draw between Chernobyl and the COVID crisis, particularly in the US

[@MackeyBigBoy4014]

We (as in the U.S.) wanted to be the best country in the world, and because of that, when Covid started to spread and impact everything, facts started to be disregarded.

[@justinian-the-great]

Me: "If lies make RBMK reactors explode, than Dyatlov has to be guilty. I mean he literally saw an explosion and said that it didn't happen! The reactor couldn't take that many Dyatlov's lies!" Dyatlov: *"THIS MAN IS DELUSIONAL, TAKE HIM TO THE INFIRMARY!"*

[@johncooper4666]

"The system was guilty" - brilliant, absolutely brilliant! I'm from Ukraine, I lived under this system and it's the absolute thruth. Such an amazing series, thank you so much! My parents could've go there and when we were watching they were almost crying.

[@and_r8]

John Cooper Dyatlov broke all possible rules, but the system is guilty. That's brilliant, true, it's a brilliant logic. And under "this system" your coutry made a spacecraft engines and the largest planes in the world, now your country offically the poorest country in Europe. China for yoiur information has the same political system and China economy #1 in the world.

[@Olich_kin]

I see no educated and smart ppl in Ukraine anymore. Just imbeciles. Nazi fekker.

[@ssoqboss]

> The system was guilty Yet the system had raised all those heroes. They saved the World. They saved your ass. And now look at Fukushima, where nobody cared about water contamination. They just pour it in the ocean. Huh. Built the station without good earthquake and tsunami protection in such an adverse region. It's just cheaper, RIGHT? What system we should blame there?

[@Olich_kin]

@@ssoqboss USSR/Russia always guilty, in Fukushima too. (Sarcasm)

[@sugandhakohli]

Even though Dyatlov was an insufferable schmuck of a human being, he did what he did under the impression that he had a fail-safe button. We might like to pinpoint the entire disaster on him and accuse him of being reckless when everything pointed towards a disaster, but still, he in his head had the confidence of AZ-5 saving the day in case of any adverse event. In my opinion, the onus of the tragedy lies 50-50 on him and the designers of RBMK reactors.

[@mchertonok]

Dyatlov was not as horrible as portraited in the series. HBO got that wrong.

[@sugandhakohli]

@@mchertonok No, actually he was. There are testimonials where he was described as threatening Akimov and Tuptinov to do as he wants or he'll fire them. The series got that correct.

[@_Hell_.]

az-5 works perfectly in normal conditions, when you do not use instructions as toilet paper using az-5 there was like using car brakes with no brake liquid in the brake system it is not the fault of a car maker, it is the fault of a driver

[@pastukas]

Not many people know that the same kind of failed test was actually carried out in Ignalina NPP, the actual place of filming. And the AZ-5 button of then-new reactor worked just fine, halting all that rising reactivity.
