So I'm watching Chernobyl
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.

Damn these threads that are half Shoppe, half Tug!!!

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.BennyBeaver said:The Russian nuclear technology were pretty shitty back then.

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

You'd think if we only have 12 years left to live, we'd go full bore on nuclear. The laws of physics are constant throughout the universe. You can't get there on wind, water and sunshine. If the frogs can get 90% of their juice from nuclear so can we.RaceBannon said:Dixie Lee Raydiation and the failure of WPPS would be more germaine to our times.
