On HBO. I'm suspecting that the coal and solar lobbies, and perhaps the Biden campaign, backed the production. Nuclear power and communism don't look very good after episode one.

It was engrossing during the first ep despite some melodrama, and it's on the lower end of production value as HBO miniseries go. I'm still looking forward to the next episode.

I know you all were waiting for my thoughts and wanted you to be the sure to know.

    Real talk, I think there is some Tug agenda subtext in the miniseries, at least in the first episode. Lots of skin melting, lots of gray ash falling out of the sky on to babies and forlorn Russian women. But I'll LIPO.

    The Russian nuclear technology were pretty shitty back then. I would hope that HBO accurately portraying the sentiments of the time wouldn't get them accused of having an anti nuclear agenda.

    Agree, the portrayal of what happened at the time and the reasons it happened seems accurate. However people will inevitably draw that forward to today. We shall see if HBO boosts that along. Furthermore, ep 1 sets the table for thousands or millions dying. That's not what happened and I hope to see the series use that surprising outcome for effect.

    Does that mean lots of nudity? Or none?

    None. Plenty of throbbing flesh, though not the kind you're looking for.

    Dixie Lee Raydiation and the failure of WPPS would be more germaine to our times.

    That was the tipping point away from the miracle of nuclear power to its demise

    Three Mile Island and Chernobyl sealed the grave
