SoapMactavish Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 The amount of denial is terrifying in this. Grim but totally gripping. Don’t know if anyone has listened to the podcast that accompanies this but it really adds to the background of whats going on. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Shaker Posted May 15, 2019 Share Posted May 15, 2019 That ending to the second episode.........if that doesn't give you the fear then nothing will.....Sat watching it in silence with the lights off and found it genuinely disturbing...Then Sky showed the teaser for next weeks episode over the credits and ruined it. Best show I’ve seen in a good while tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YER SISTERS YER MAW Posted May 15, 2019 Author Share Posted May 15, 2019 Yeah, this show is very intriguing and a knife edge ending to the 2nd episode. What night does this air on Sky Atlantic so I know when to look out for the 3rd episode on Kod1? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well fan for life Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Watched the first episode last night. Wild the amount of denial that went on when it all kicked off. Also took me a while to take the da from Friday Night Dinner seriously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they were talking about everything being under control, they meant the news blackout, not the actual risk of nuclear disaster. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew a bit about it just from reading and documentaries but it's still just mindblowing that the first course of action on it was to prevent the wider world knowing there was a nuclear disaster happening, rather than actually taking steps to manage it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MuckleMoo Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Just watched the first two episodes on catch up. Can't remember another 2hrs of tv that has been as tense and gripping as this. Actually found myself pausing it in order to take a break from the stress. Fantastic television! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know how accurate it is as a representation of events? Pretty accurate, as it turns out.

That’s arguably worse than the world wars. Its insane that nuclear reactors were even considered. http://chtoa.org/en/unsung-heroes-of-chernobyl-three-men-laid-their-lives-for-milion-of-others/ Couldn't agree more. Probably three of the most important men in recent human history, yet that's the first I'd heard about them. Alexei Ananenko, Valeri Bezpalov and Boris Baranov. Three names that should be national heroes all over Europe. If not for them, pretty much the whole of Eastern and Southern Europe would be fucked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Shaker Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 So are those three men still alive, did they survive their experience or not? Some sources say yes, others - like the one above - say they died immediately afterwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
