I would recommend watching 2 & 3 just for informational purposes...

I love how excited Tristan gets when there’s a cat in a movie y’all are watching lmao

Guess Jason evolved as a killer over time cause he made a little mistake here and there

A real life horror story

Can you make your clickbait picture anymore dramatic?

Hildur Guðnadóttir is responsible for the music in this series. She also did the soundtrack for Joker, Tar, Sicario. Fantastic musician from Iceland 😊❤ P. S I was one year old when this happened but my two sister were much older, had to drink a disgusting liquid once a day. I'm from Poland🇵🇱

@SamTristan you should watch HOLLOW MAN. Parts of the last 1/3 of SM2 spoof this film.

This show is so well done. It's based on real historical events, not documentary, so it might be a bit dramatized, but it's still worth watching 👍👏 Don't forget to watch a short epilogue after episode 5. There are some real footage that explain a lot of what happened after an accident.

LETS GO DARWIN NUÑEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

When you have finished this show I highly recommend finding the hbo Chernobyl podcast. This expands and explains some of the decisions of the show.

King T'Challa is actually the richest person in the MCU. His net worth is estimated to be over $90 trillion.

The film is definitely a great commentary on consumerism and the negative consequences of corporate capitalism in bed with government.

In case you're wondering, it's 1983. May 12th fell on a Thursday in '83.

After each episode I would absolutely listen to the Chernobyl Podcast.

i’m so glad yall liked this bc i seriously felt insane absolutely loving the film leaving that theater and then opening twitter and seeing everyone hate on it 😭 this is one of the mcu films ive rewatched more all the characters are so good and i love how more thought provoking it is and how much you can analyze from the themes, characters, visuals. it’s a beautifully made film imo

Great reaction but you guys are honestly like the first I’ve seen who didn’t love this one lol

This was such a great miniseries. I’ve watched it 3 times. Shit was crazy on what the Russians did. Makes you think on what they still do!

W

"nucelar"? Ok W

It was also made one a skintight budget of $130,000 - $30,000 was paid to Donald Plesance. The film. much to their surprise, was a hit and made millions back then, and it is still a classic today.

I saw this on release and it's the best science fiction movie ever. As great as T2 is it never had the darkness of this or the impact of seeing the Endoskeleton.

Please watch Dune Prophecy!!! ❤

Before Chernobyl there was the Three Mile Island incident in 1979 in the US. Not as bad as Chernobyl, obviously, but there was serious radiation leak. The authorities reaction, the denial and cover up was the same. I'm surprised most americans don't know about that. Check out Meltdown documentary.

It was my first year of college when this occurred. I remember the event and I learned about it via the very news report they use later in the show. I distinctly remember talking about it with my dorm mate at the time and both of us like most 80's kids (I think) knew about the dangers of a meltdown at a nuclear plant but all the reports used the phrase "an explosion at a nuclear power plant". That slight change of phrase was the difference between all of us freaking out and just going on as if this was just another event. Also, remember this is during a time when the cold war was still a thing and we had grown up with it our entire lives... the simple fact that the Soviets (Appeared) to be working with the international community made us more complacent. In short... we believed what we were told because many of us were still too naive to question what we were being told.

Tasting metal means that you smell ozone. It´s the same smell that you can smell while a heavy thunderstruck. It´s because of ionizing the air.

Dyatlow´s own son died because of a nuclear accident on a submarine. So he was a frustrated and bitter man. But he was not like that in the show where he turned into a scapegoat.

Please don´t believe everything that you hear and see in this show. It´s a show, based on true events but it´s not 100 percent correct in which it shows the characters and the conversations. Some things are over dramatized other things aren´t shown at all. So don´t take this too serious.

I was 11 when this occurred. God bless them all.

I come from Berlin, almost 2000 km away from Chernobyl. For almost a year we weren't allowed to play outside as children, even sports lessons in school were only held in the sports halls. We weren't allowed to eat fruit and vegetables from Central Europe either. It was quite scary, especially because I was already old enough to understand what was happening in the USSR.

For me it's "I Am Legend" ;)

First Will Smith movie that comes to mind: Men in Black.

You're in for one helluva ride with this one!

Here is a sort of standard comment I have posted on a lot of the reactions to this series that I come across...hope you don't mind me copy/pasting it here. One thing I will add, is that the more I learn about the history of the RBMK reactor and of the Chernobyl power plant, the more I feel that a lot of context is left out of the show, and it could have been more accurate if it had revealed some of that. This a really good series...one of the best ever made...but the producers did get some things wrong. Some things were changed intentionally for the purposes of storytelling, and the makers of the series put in a series of notes at the end of the last episode of the series explaining some of them. They also have a podcast that they put out along with the show in which they talk about other things they altered from the history and why. However, I do recommend you check out the History vs Hollywood article on Chernobyl when you are done watching the whole series, so you can find out about the other things that the producers got wrong that they do not admit to. Definitely wait until you are done with the series so you do not spoil anything for yourself.

don't take this for real history. far from it. this is a very well made, well acted, show, depicting real events and real people, their heroism and cravenness, as well as ingrained problems of a tottering bureaucratic state. but its also problematic; its main overarching narrative is deliberately false and propagandist. that is not good in a show about "cost of lies". to avoid any spoilers, i will just point to one of many instances from this 1st episode that contribute to that false narrative - in reality legasov sent his "tapes" to editor of pravda, one of the main propagandist outlets of ussr; to a person linked to the ruling faction at the time. it was quite unlike what is depicted in show with secret drop, under the cover of taking out garbage. their depicting him as a person living alone(when he was a family man) is forgivable dramatic license to make plot tight. their changing recipient from an elite person, to an implied secret dissident is not. he was opposed by, and was working against someone, before he allegedly committed suicide, but who? difference between show's answer and real answer, is where falsehood comes in. and these changes multiply and always with same tendency, for a purpose . that is problematic in a show with theme of "cost of lies" .

First movie I think about when i think of Will Smith is.. Enemy of the State. A movie that was ahead of its time. Incredible movie. Im shocked most channels don't know about that movie.

Season 2 pls

In Soviet Union, power plants you!

“Can you guys taste metal?” 😶

This was the Soviet Union. The Soviet Union was a totalitarian state. As such, the safety of the population nearby was not remotely the main concern.

Every time he mispronounces nuclear as "nuke-u-lar", God kills a puppy.

"Obviously the characters are going to be made up . . ." Um, no.

Ppl always bring up the fact that no one shoots him in the mouth. The designers of Robocops look explained that his face is wrapped around a robotic skull, so even if he gets shot there, nothing would happen.

34:45 when he says it's a cop killer, there's a stand of dead cops behind him.

As requested, trivia regarding Chernobyl (both the event and the show), in no particular order. Much of it is from the book, Midnight in Chernobyl. The music designer for the series won an award, I believe. She took sounds from the various alarms and notifications in a real RBMK reactor control room and played around with them to make the ominous noises you hear. The Chernobyl power plant had its own dedicated fire station, they were onsite within minutes without anyone needing to call, and they in turn called in all the firefighting units from Pripyat to Kyiv. People are tasting metal because when the level of ambient radiation is high enough, it ionizes the air, just like a bolt of lightning. This interacts with the substances of the human tongue to create a weak electric current, just like a little battery, so you taste copper. It smells like a lightning storm. It's hard to get an idea of the scale, but the power plant building is twenty stories high, and the vent stack is another twenty stories on to of that. They ran all the way up with hoses to put the fire out. One fireman knew exactly what they were looking at and told his fellows, 'Lads, that's the guts of the reactor. If we're still alive tomorrow, we'll live forever. But first we're going to put out that fire.' Dyatlov had a great deal of experience in the nuclear industry and was extremely intelligent, but had a bad habit of refusing to change his conclusions once made. He was hard to work with on the job, even for his friends. The incident occurred at 1:23:45 AM, hence the title of the episode. In fact, Viktor Brukhanov wasn't a bad husband, to answer your question, although he was an often absent one due to the demands of his work, he was often awake into the early hours of the morning. In Soviet work culture of the time, it was well known that if anything went wrong, someone would be held accountable. As such, everyone's first priority in the event of an accident would usually be to find a subordinate to pin the blame on before your superiors could pin the blame on you. Everyone tended to exaggerate their accomplishments to look good to their superiors and said superiors would then further exaggerate things, resulting in the people supposed to administer the command economy having little idea about real conditions, and in administrators regularly dressing down their subordinates to maintain authority. As others have noted, also, the USSR was very image-conscious and relentlessly squashed news of anything that might make them look bad to the rest of the world or might embarrass powerful and important people. There are three basic types of radiation, alpha, beta, and gamma. Alpha particles are big and heavy, a piece of paper would block them. If they're inhaled, though, they can be incredibly lethal. Beta particles need a solid surface to stop, like a sheet of tinfoil. They stick to the skin and eat into the muscles and tissues, causing beta burns, the tissue starts melting away. Gamma rays are high-intensity beams that punch through anything except a thick sheet of lead or several feet of reinforced concrete. Naturally, all three types were present at Chernobyl, all that ash, dust, and fallout from the explosion and fire has absorbed so much radiation that it's become stupendously radioactive itself. If you handled fallout-contaminated materials, you'd get a dose, but people cannot become radioactive like objects can, radiation isn't like a disease, you can't get it from touching others. The people of Pripyat are in grave danger simply from remaining in the area, but not from each other. A huge swath of pine forest near Pripyat really did die soon after the incident, the needles all turned bright red and fell off, causing that part of land to become known as the Red Forest.

This is a fantastic miniseries, that made an attempt to expose the extent and consequences of Soviet propaganda, while telling a Soviet propaganda version of the events, shockingly enough. Make sure to check out the 3 part TH-cam series about How HBO Chernobyl got it wrong. But only after you finish this mastefully executed show because it will ruin it for you, permanently.

Watch Scream 3

The oppressive music is by Icelandic cellist and composer Hildur Guðnadóttir, who has created quite a lot of film and TV scores so far. Her music is notorious for its eery vibes.

Damn. We were so hopeful for the future back in 1989. lol
