Scariest scene

[@DieGoetterdaemmerung]

I live in south-west germany and to this day you can't eat certain boars because they eat mushrooms that absorbed Caesium 137 during the desaster. I think they are allowed to have 500 Bq/kg but sometimes hunters shoot boars with 8000-10000 Bq/kg. I wasn't born back then but my father said they were told to stay inside when it's raining, even during work hours everyone had to get somewhere inside and stop working when it was about to rain. Scary stuff.

If you have Netflix, you should watch "The Untold Story of the United States." There is a very real trend among the Russian people to sacrifice for the greater good.

I think it's more of a "who needs to know what". For example, in the first episode, someone decides that the party council doesn't need to know the full scope of the disaster and somebody else disagrees and that disagreement saves lives. On a smaller scale that is a great example of corporate America. I work for a relatively big company and we constantly see mind-bogglingly stupid decisions made because some manager doesn't want to look bad.

@The Wraith The reason they survived was because the radiation was quite mild in the water, IIRC because it contained a lot of groundwater, and there was actually only 1 spot with very bad radiation, which they either went around or effectively sprinted through (I can't remember which). The show's depiction is inaccurate, in that regard.

@Black Ninja The finale was perfect

[@henrythegod6756]

I think one of the most beautifully terrifying moments in the first episode is when the building is in flames and all the folks in the city gather round to watch the spectacle, and you see all the radioactive ash fall on them all, and the kids start playing around with it as if it was snow. They didn't know what it was for so long. This mini series showed me one thing for sure, how scary high amounts of radiation can be. When one of the firefighters picks up graphite and it immediately penetrates his glove and hand severely, that was wild. Also, when one of the reactor workers looks from the roof straight down and comes back all messed up so quickly, that was wild too. I agree that they made the scope of the movie feel massive. They made it feel like SO many people were effected. Living in the USSR during this disaster... Makes me feel like the "Direct/Indirect Death" count is much higher. Sure enough, speculation is anywhere from 4,000 - 93,000 deaths, according the end of episode 5. Insane. Worth a watch for sure

[@SuperibyP]

One of my favourite things about the sound design in this miniseries is how they chose to portray radiation outside of the use of Geiger-Muller tubes. The use of hollow metallic endless tones that just permeate the entire scene, growing louder with higher radiation levels, even if the characters weren't themselves aware. It's like they adapted they usual horror movie trope of the deep rumble or shrieking violins as your invisible monster inches closer to the characters on screen. Absolutely amazing work.

The trebute in the end of episode 5... I almost started crying. This series is what televison is about, to call it a masterpiece is not really doing it justice. You might prefer other miniseries like Bands of brothers or the pacific, you might prefer light entertienment... But this is the must-watch series or the decade. The best part... That it shows the decentcy of the soviet people... They were not/are not slave robots to be used by a brutal regime (as some bad television series would perhaps have gone for), instead it shows how they lived and had to scarifice to make sure that their families survieved. The show is both a near perfect telling of a system not able to work rational, because it was build on a lie, and of what lies results in... Without going to much into politics, it has to be said that we in the west, are at a point, where people in charge needs to be held accountable, and their lies needs to be taken to heart, otherwise we will live with the consequences and risk another Chernobyl.

[@Mama-Dee1969]

I said something very similar in I think each of my episode reacts /lets kinda play

[@brianjones8432]

I'm in no way undermining the sacrifice those men made, but the hard truth is that the socialist state of Russia literally threw those bodies at the problem. This wasn't voluntary. This wasn't 911, where firefighters and emergency workers willingly marched into danger and ended up sacrificing their lives in a tragedy situation. These people didn't have a choice in the matter. They were forced to give their lives due to a gross oversight by the communist state, while they and the rest of the world were given false information regarding the severity of the disaster. If anything, this is a grim warning of the trappings of socialism.

[@MrBandholm]

@@brianjones8432 The real tragedy there, is that a case could be made, that only the soviet union could solve the problem. At those levels of radiation, we don't really have robots (even today I am told) that could cope with it. And it had to be contained and cleaned up. Chernobyl was a clusterfuck, both on a state, ideological and personal level for those in leadership positions and an utterly tragic result for the people. Now was it "socialisme" or bolsivisme at fault? In some ways absolutely, though the personal responsability of those in charge of the powerplant should not be ignored! But very similar ways of thinking, and lack of safety is in the capitalistic systems 2008 is a pretty good example of that, as are the climate change problems.

[@brianjones8432]

@@MrBandholm "The real tragedy there, is that a case could be made, that only the soviet union could solve the problem." I totally disagree..... 911 is a great comparison. We have millions in our country who would willingly sacrifice their lives knowing full well the dangers of the situation. We have them in every line of work from the firefighters, to police officers, to medical workers. These people do this on a daily basis voluntarily, knowing full well what they are walking into. That's a stark comparison to the people that were continuously lied to during the Chernobyl incident. "though the personal responsability of those in charge of the powerplant should not be ignored!" It wasn't ignored at all.... But as the series points out very clearly, the state was too cheap to build the reactors properly, not to mention putting in the same safety measures and containment barriers the rest of the world was using at the time. Those things come from cooperation, global councils, and the meetings of the minds of multiple countries that agree that the dollar shouldn't be the bottom line, but that safety should. This is FAR less likely to happen in a free and open society than in a closed socialistic regime. "But very similar ways of thinking, and lack of safety is in the capitalistic systems 2008 is a pretty good example of that, as are the climate change problems." 2008 was a financial bubble, and actually caused by government and it's donors, not free market capitalism..... They happen, and will continue to happen as long as there is an economy. Recessions happen in every economy regardless of the governmental type. While they are painful, capitalism causes these things to rebound quickly as we are currently seeing in the US market, and free markets eventually always rally back. But this pales in comparison to a disaster such as Chernobyl. The "climate change" problems are up for debate. And again, if you really want to go down that rabbit hole, who's the biggest contributor to that problem? China....... I rest my case........

[@MrBandholm]

@@brianjones8432 Well you can rest you case, but on several points you are objectively wrong. 911 isn't a great comparison, for one thing the US was attacked, helping the idea of community, second, while not given, after the buildings had collapsed, the workers could be equiped with protection gear, so they would be safer. That was not the case with Chernobyl. Also while the first responders in New York did one hell of a job, their job ultimately wasn't as serious as a nuklear meltdown. Where the comparison might have some ground was the level of bravery put up by those that had to solve it, and the incompetence on some levels leading up to the cases (although the US intelligence service in no way was as bad as the leadership at Chernobyl). "This is FAR less likely to happen in a free and open society than in a closed socialistic regime."... That we can agree on. "and actually caused by government and it's donors, not free market capitalism"... It was primarily caused by the banks finding a gap and speculating in the housing market... How you makes that to a government intervention problem is a bit far streched... It was caused by gready men, working in an inperfect system, with the safety features removed... Where Chernobyl could litterally have killed a 6th of Europe, the 2008 crisis could have wiped out the entire finance system of the US... One is far more serious, but both have similar buildups. "Recessions happen in every economy regardless of the governmental type"... Recessions sure, but 2008 was not just a recession, but a near collaps, prevented by the governments... "The "climate change" problems are up for debate" No its not. The problems are there, there might be solutions, but that doesn't change that there are a problem. "China"... Sure, and India are up there as well... Both countries have more than 1 billion people... Who are second on that list? The US with a 3th of the population of China but with more than half of the same emmisions. Yet so far the only major nation that does not accept that there is a problem is the US. And btw, this is not a US or western-bashing thing, but only the point, that the USSR wasn't uniquely bad... Those traits were enhanced in the USSR system, but the west has it share as well.

It feels tangible, call it "historical horror" if you will-something morbid that has actually happened in our world, but something that (if we're not careful) could definitely happen again. I don't get scared by film too easily, but there were several moments in this series that were hard to watch because of how realistic they were; the pipe maze scene, the hospital scene, the burial scene, even a lot of the political stuff... All of it was harrowing. This is easily my favorite miniseries since The Pacific.
