Have read alot about Chernobyl over the years.

I was a bit disappointed it didn't show the buildup to the explosion.

Episode 1 could of been what was going on and the personalities in control room which caused the disaster.

 

[Steeeeeeed]

Really enjoying it so far.

As mentioned already, if you get the chance to go there, definitely do it

...
As for wildlife, I didn't see a single creature during my visit. Not a single bird. The silence in that place is like nothing else I've ever experienced. Eerie. They let you wander around the school on your own and the quiet is the most disturbing part.

We only had some stray dogs tailing us for a bit in Pripyat, apart from that nothing. Yeah the silence was an experience, just what it'd be like after the zombie apocalypse!

I can see what you mean about developing the personalities but I kinda like the fact it jumped right in to the 'action' personally.

the one guy martin did was brilliant...just speaking to people around the area as well as visiting the actual sarcophagus

Don’t quote me on this, just trying to remember the tour guide

Initially when the firefighters tried to put out the fire, all the water sank underneath the reactor. The reactor was then becoming so hot and unpredictable, it was burning through the concrete between the reactor and the water. If it had got to the water then there would have been a reaction and the explosion was predicted to have been way worse than what actually happened.

So some workers then went through the tunnels and drained all the water underneath the reactor, pretty much knowing what they were exposed to would kill them

Unsung heroes. What a sacrifice they made.

Really enjoying this. harrowing stuff.

Apparently episode 4 gets to the part about the mutations and how they used to attack the tourists. Really good doc about the mutants here...

Best Tv I've seen for ages I'm obsessed, found the podcast this afternoon which is decent

Just started episode 1.

I’m not convinced with that Con O’ Neill (gadgy with strange voice)

But the rest of the cast are superb imo, great show anarl

Can’t wait for next episode

 

[jackynutmeg]

Horrific.

Aye watched it earlier, another excellent episode. What those fire fighters went through was horrible.

The hospital scenes were horrendous, what a hideous death.

This series has lived up to expectations. I was a bit sceptical at first with the non-Russian accents, but it works well and is probably better than 'fake' accents. It's very bleak and puts across what's true danger nuclear power is when it's not harnessed properly and corners are cut. Without a doubt the biggest man-made catastrophe in human history

I literally let out a loud "fuck me" at some scenes

Mind Trevor from eastenders has let himself go
