- "Chernobyl," a five-part miniseries co-production from HBO and Sky, dramatizes the story of the 1986 nuclear accident, one of the worst man-made catastrophes in history - and of the sacrifices made to save Europe from unimaginable disaster. Jared Harris portrays Valery Legasov, a leading Soviet nuclear physicist. As part of the response team, he was one of the first to grasp the scope of the unparalleled disaster that occurred.

The Chernobyl miniseries could easily be classified as horror and it just proves how reality is often the most frightening thing of them all.
@Algirdas Urbanavicius I am 41. I was lucky i was born in Hungary so we did not get much radiation. I am horrified while watching this.
well said
Reality is a horror movie where people’s skin melted from their body from radiation, a horror movie where soldiers were killed in mass fighting a hopeless war, a horror movie where 6 million people were killed for no good reason, and a horror movie where men make weapons that can level cities.
That is so spot on! I could never agree more! I've always been critical of how people consider supernatural stories as horror when there's a ton of real things that can happen and be ten times more horrifying! Such as Chernobyl!
@Algirdas Urbanavicius I almost cried three times watching it made me feel so uncomfortable and violated and I'm just some black dude from the north side of Chicago
Chernobyl deserves all the Emmys this year.
SarahConner: Check out the You Tube vid called Children of Chernobyl to see the real devastation from that disaster and realize that as long as there are nuclear power plants and weapons humanity's days are numbered.
Hope Emch power plants?
Wait wait wait! Chernobyl is great! But dont forget Stranger things!❤💥
jtappia chernobyl is far better
@@richtofen4888 nope. Thats just your stupid opinion.
Remember those names - the first firefighters who arrived at the scene of the explosion and started combating the fire:
Vladimir Pravik - died May 11, 1986
Victor Kibenok - died May 11, 1986
Leonid Telyatnikov - lived longest among these firemen, which is a miracle in itself. Died in 2005 of Chernobyl-related cancer.
Vasiliy Ignatenko - died May 13, 1986. In 2006 posthumously awarded the title Hero of Ukraine.
Nikolay Vaschuk - was instrumental in preventing fire from reaching reactor number 3. Died with the rest of his crew on the same day. Hero of Ukraine.
Nikolay Titenok - died May 16, 1986. Hero of Ukraine
Leonid Shavrey - miraculous recovery in the facility in Kyiv. Had bone marrow partially replaced which help the organism and DNA to fight off radiation exposure and sickness.
Ivan Shavrey - the younger brother of Leonid. Also survived by miraculous treatment in Kyiv. Again, partial replacement of bone marrow.
Petro Shavrey - the oldest brother. Also survived. There should be a book about this family of heroes or maybe a separate HBO movie.
Alexander Lelechenko - electrician technician of Chernobyl NPP. Was responsible for preventing an additional hydrоgen explosion. Received lethal dose of radiation and died on May 7, 1986. Hero of Ukraine.
Valery Khodemchuk - pump room engineer. Died immediately with the reactor explosion. His body is forever entombed under reactor number 4.
The first wave of firefighters consisted of 28 men in total.
A mighty big Thank you to Sergeontheloo.
The names of these men deserve to be remembered and NEVER forgotten.
Thank you for this..
уверен, они знали, что люди им благодарны. rip, comrads
do you want a reward for typing this?
@@maggieznoodles Do you always act like an insensitive jerk?
Mr. Harris acting in the first two episodes was amazing...deserves a Emmy for sure.
@Manin intheworld Does that really matter? His portrayal is amazing!
@Manin intheworld Look at his IMDB page. It is WILD. It's a sign of a great actor.
Great actor!!
He did damn good in Mad Men. If anyone hasnt seen the entire series, your missing a damn good show. Jared Harris doesn't start till season 3 but he sounds and looks the same as he does in this interview, minus the beard and he's always in a business suit from the 60s era.
Both him and (can never remember his real name) Scherbina.
Chernobyl is like recovery therapy for GoT... i feel we have all learned more about the importance of good writing.
@Algirdas Urbanavicius Whats the point of Jon Snow targaryen
Guys, please stop comparing GoT and this sad and horrifying piece of history called Chernobyl. Chernobyl is EDUCATIONAL series which tells us terrifying story about real salvation of the world from global disaster. We are all alive thanks to those heroes who put their lives for the world safety and future generations. GoT is science fiction and something totally different. Incomparable.
@@auroraborealis6755 GoT is fantasy not sci-fi
@@arbitraryalias9825 ok, my point is still the same
@@auroraborealis6755 when your horns neither growing nor broking than that types of people taught got is best
Love GOT but...
GOT: Filming the Long Night was intense
Chernobyl: Hold my vodka
GOT reaches out to take Chernobyl's vodka
Chernobyl slams it back and drops the glass at GOT's feet, shattering it, all without breaking eye contact
Thats like an insult to ukrainian, we are not russians, its not vodka here its horilka!
@@lladerat Thanks for the clarification!
couldn't have said it better
*hold my graphite*
Fookin magnificent first episode I tell you.
Thanks An. Looking forward to watching it.
Yankis I feel u 100% bruh, seeing those poor workers and first responders getting melted fucked me up deeply
the insanity of the denial and eventual realization that they are all dead
An Ngo I liked the first episode but it didn’t really grab me and I didn’t feel all that interested in tuning in for episode 2, but by chance I happened to turn it on as it aired and I am VERY glad I did because episode 2 really sold me on it. I can’t wait for episode 3
Even a peaky blinder liked it.
In episode 2, when lights were out and all you can hear is Geiger device sound. That's the nightmare.
swaminatha no kidding, my heart dropped, like what if it went out for good and they were in the dark permanently?
@@bradhansen8506 read the true story of those three men. They had ONE flashlight between the three of them, radiation fried it VERY quickly, and they had to find their way though that maze of pipes and irradiated water IN PITCH BLACK DARKNESS.
They survived. Those brass-balled bastards did what they had to do AND FOUND THEIR WAY OUT. One died in the middle 2000s of a heart attack. The other two are STILL ALIVE. BRASS. BALLS.
Clever storytelling, well put together, remarkable acting...I am from Hungary, and was a child in 1986, I remember some of the things from that era. The eastern block was more or less the same. The furnitures, the faces, the whole atmosphere is 100% authentic. Best series so far in 2019 and I strongly suspect - although only seen the first 2 episodes - that it will be amongst my all time favourites. Emily Watson, Jared Harris, Stellan Skarsgård...perfect.
And we hungarians were lucky not getting much of the radiation.... I was 8 when this happened... The atmosphere of this series is spot on.
I am Czech, and I remember the 'silence' of the state media..... so the word of mouth and rumors were crazy- like every second person in all Czechoslovakia will get cancer and die within next few years and stuff like that..... really scary time
@@letecmig , I can only imagine...and in reality, it could have gotten much worse too if those brave men didn't make their sacrifice.
@@Nofarewell sure thing. But if the system was different in the SU, free press, civic oversight etc., the shortages of the design of the nuclear plant would have been made public and fixed years before anything happened. bloody commies
@@letecmig , of course...
Great actor. Everything he's in is awesome. The Expanse, Terror, Chernobyl...
The Crown
Fringe!
Mad Men
His father the great Richard Harris would be very proud at how fine an actor he has become. Big fan of his.
Terror was nice. One of the best series
We thought we knew Chernobyl story but wait for it...we don't know s*it really. This is disclosing the truth and paying respect to forgotten heroes! Impressive! 🙏
There was nothing revealed in the show that hasn't been public knowledge for 15 years or more.
Amazing work, first episode blew my mind. Attention to details is just incredible! This need to have more recognition.
2nd is even better with details. it will burst your mind into neutrons
I had lived in USSR only for 7 years. But I remember much and I have to say that creators of the show has created very detailed and atmospheric soviet town (Pripyat). There are buses, cars, people, buildings, even elevators’ doors. Amazing
it has recognition all over the world.
@@alyu6351 so how accurate would you say Death of Stalin is?
Valery lasegrov is the man of action. The way he explains the after consequences gives me chill within the spine during the episode. Imagine that situation in 1986 how the things would have been back them and how he saved the world.
The depiction of life in the Soviet Union in the 80s is absolutely brilliant. It has never been done so good.
bargh70 yes it has you must see the film citizen x
@@stuartsmith6658 The fake Russian accents make citizen x unwatchable
The got the colors of the window frames right! Everything was on point, clothes, hair, interiors... Whoever their consultant on Soviet culture was, they did a fantastic job.
P.S. Only nitpick I have is Legasov taking out the trash at night at the very start - you don't do that, that's bad luck. But I guess he wouldn't care, since he was about to off himself anyway.
@@katya261 He was only "taking out the trash" as a cover to give him a chance to stash his testimonial tapes. Can't very well be committing treason against the USSR in broad daylight :)
or well :D
Give the man an Emmy
Jared Harris is a really interesting actor. He's a normal looking person and his acting is usually somewhat understated, but he manages to draw your eye in every scene he's in.
I could listen to Jared Harris talk all day.
There is a lady called Adi Roache who set up Chernobyl Children International. A group of children are brought to Ireland every year for respite & medical care they can't receive in their home countries. She set up the 'Homes of Hope' programme so instead of living in orphanages or institutions they can live & be taken care of in their own home. She's one amazing kick ass lady
Anyone else have the need to hug their pet after the last episode?
Amazing show, and fair warning if you have anxiety have your medication ready. That's how good it is.
This^
I only take one pill a day for it so it's always ready or in my system... god... I didn't know how tense this would be.
Yeah I know why and all but I still didnt like em.
I think he might be my favorite actor. I bought The Terror solely because of him.
Absolutely incredible actor.
I've been a big fan of Jared since Mad Men. In Chernobyl he is dominating
AlxhaGadol have a watch of ‘the terror’ as well, he is brilliant in that
In both shows he died the same way.
There is probably going to be another season now, with such a positive reaction to the show. I agree, Jared is AWESOME in Chernobyl.
HBO toke the tv shows industry to another level, I become obsessed with the details and the actors in the show, they manage to create an outstanding experience
This actor, Jared Harris, was in Mad Men starting in season 3. If you've never seen the show, your missing out on a damn good show and it started AMCs run of great shows in 2007.
Can't wait for Episode 4 this Monday. Everyone on my FB feed are talking about GOT, and I'm over here like... "HEY! Any of you watching CHERNOBYL?"
The evacuation scene gave me chills !
They couldn't have cast this mini series better.
literally!
I disagree. Since it is based on a true story, cast must be similar to the real people, vision wise. If you check the pictures of the real names, you will understand that they have similarities.
@@kameania I think you might be actually AGREEING with him/her, if you agree that this was brilliant casting.
MusicLuvr Laurie right, so the conclusion is never comment when youre high 😂😂😂😂
@@kameania Sounds like a plan! :D
Mr. Harris, Emmys all around for you and this show.
I think I’ve yelled at my tv during 2 episodes of Chernobyl more times than I have during the last 5 episodes of GOT
"Don't go in there! Don't touch that! Get off that bridge! Don't believe that guy!"
I tried to describe this to my friends. You're watching a horror movie, but where the reactions of the characters on screen don't match what you know.
That was she said after getting a lover
chernobyl never happened
I especially yelled at Vitaly’s wife to not.....I won’t spoil it for others lol
Everyone should look up the pictures of the first responders to deal with the fire. The show did it justice but just seeing the real deal is disturbing and much more powerful. Great show.
Perfect casting. Each detail. Ever each actor look very very similar with original persons, humans.
The Ukrainian town of Priut (0:33) in the video. Pripyat. Pripyat is the town.
Douche Bag interviewer - what a moron.
Pronouncing nuclear with three syllables is even more unforgivable
@@23rt2308u24tkhg It's like the he's interviewing Jared Harris for a sodding drivers license. "I don't know how to follow that up!" Yeah. Powerful stuff. But watch the show, craft your questions and treat the man with the respect he deserves after such a performance, and especially as he's giving such interesting answers to these questions.
@@tedbaxter5234 uninformed dickhead
For real..
I was 12 when Chernobyl happened back in 1986. I remember them talking about it every night on Nightline.
I was 10 days to my 18 birthday and graduation about 6 weeks later. I was really scared. After watching 3 episodes of Chernobyl I was horrified!
Me too! I’m glad the real story is being told!
Bro I was born in 1986 so for me Chernobyl was just a place where nobody lives and nobody can go because of radiation so this series is absolutely horrifying
@@CHEDDAakaSWAY It's interesting that several of us remember when it happened, some are too young, but the show has the same effect on all of us.
@@lisab6547 Its just so hard to watch. And all those kids playing in it as if it was snow. It makes you feel violated in a way.
That book that he's talking about is a very interesting read..highly recommended
"Voices form Chernobyl"
One of the top television dramas of all time. Jared Harris, Stellen, Emily, the entire cast were magnificent.
I've loved Mr Harris since Fringe! He is just fantastic!
What a masterpiece this show was. The last episode is arguably the best episode of television I’ve ever seen.
one of the best series ever, see it and wake up world. I was in pripjat, is incredible
What an amazing interview this was, every single moment of it was enjoyable( had no idea that it was an 30 minute interview, it went by so fast). I wish for more interviews like this. Jared really shows how passionate he is about the roles that he plays and his answer, to the first question from the audience, was something amazing and inspiring, I wish him all the best and more roles like in Mad men, Terror and Chernobyl.
And I had no Idea that most of the show was filmed in Lithuania( I only found out after reading the comments, after watching the first episode) and I lived most of my life in Vilnius( where they filmed Pripyat scenes).
This guy is a great actor. Id love to see him in another long running show. Loved him in Mad Men too
This miniseries was intense and hard to watch, but absolutely amazing in terms of acting, directing, and cinematography. Should win all the Emmys.
On par with breaking bad?
Jared Harris deserves every recognition and love for his performances in Both Chernobyl and The Terror!!!!
Great Actor!!!
Good Man!!!!
Jared Harris is phenomenal
Jared can thank Bill Burr for the comfy chairs.
Hahaha, I was just thinking that!
Oh man I hope that's why they changed them. Hilarious.
hahahaha
Excellent work, Mr. Harris! Bravo!
Loved his acting in 'Game of Shadows', so I don't expect anything less from him....
Is it just me or does Jared Harris look like an older version of Charlie Brooker?
A very underrated actor
just here to say that Jared Harris is my favorite
This actor will always be David Robert Jones for me lol.
He is amazing.
Brilliant series, very well done.
Brilliant acting. Love the series.
Excellent mini-series so far. 2 episodes in.
Starting on Chernobyl this weekend. I love Jared's work, looking forward to watching this - the cinematography looks amazing. ETA the whole Duke/Syracuse thing - brother I live and work in Raleigh, NC ... I still don't get the whole basketball thing lol.
Jennifer that’s like me in the south , Politics, Sports, and religion . Things I don’t touch hahahaha
Funny I just started watching a ton of Chernobyl stuff on TH-cam, people actually going there and taping what they see. Interesting and frightening all at the same time. I'd love to watch this!
Anderson Dawes! Loved him in The Expanse and The Terror. Chernobyl is an excellent show as well.
Loved this amazing actor in Fringe, The Crown, and Chernobyl!!
I love the Actor he did an Amazing job so far on play his role on Chernobyl.
You can see real Legasov footage on TH-cam.
Very good story, best actors, intense, powerful, human. Better than Game of Thrones...
Tamás Harbula sadly it’s not a story it is fact...
This cannot br compared to GOT. It is based on True history.
History is a STORY, about us, humans.
One of the best shows ever! But it gives me anxiety watching. I'm like the air they are breathing, everything they touch is contaminated. Run away!!!!! And it breaks my heart that officials could be so evil as to not care about these people dying. Maybe they just didn't know but that's no excuse. Sickening.
Welcome to the USSR.
It triggered my anxiety too . Even this interview !
@@0JBX0 And every other country in the world tbh... Look at Flint
There should be a real warning: anxiety trigger.
Me too
About the officials it's true and not true at the same time. True is that they tried to cover their asses, not quite true about the evacuation and lots of other things. It's still fiction, don"t forget that.
Harris ser you deserve emmy 👍🏻
I have liked this guy since I saw him in Madmen but didn’t know this guy was in Blue in the Face . Decades on the craft , great actor :)
He is incredible! You know when you start watching something and Jared Harris is in it, it’s going to be a masterpiece 👌
Seriously, this show is something else. It is very sobering to think that the things depicted in the series are actual happenings. The world was that close to changing forever.
*Just a word i can describe it: masterpiece!*
I've never wanted to rewatch a series straight away until this masterpiece. Especially after listening to the podcast with screenwriter and creator Craig Mazin. Highly recommend listening to it
Ви єдині які зробили добру розповідь про Чорнобиль, і увас це вдалось. Це трагедія Українського народу, і ми памятаємо про це! Чудовий серял про дійсно правдиву історію. І це тому ємоції так пробирають до душі. І акторський склад дісно добрий, щиро задоволений ними)
Роман Стецюк it is not only Ukrainian tragedy others in Belorus especially suffered tremendously as well.
Не только украинского но и русского. Товарищи украинцы всегда тянут одеяло на себя, забыв о других.
It is a shame really that most of us don't know the story of Chernobyl. It's been a couple of days since I've finished the series and I can't stop absorbing everything I can find on the subject.
Also being born in the Soviet Union the series is sometimes difficult to watch, it hits so close to home.
Such great production!
the interviewer, despite other people seeming critical, did a good job at 7:48 after hearing the actor explain he heard lots of Chernobyl stories, instead of moving on, he follows up with asking what was the most memorable story
too bad he can't read the words on a teleprompter! No excuse to not get pronouncers correct!
you have one job! look pretty and read the prompter and cue cards!
the interviewer is hopeless at his job!
It's a shame because I think he's just very nervous, that's why he's struggling with the teleprompter. Maybe some of the folk in the comments attacking him should give his job a try
Chernobyl is brilliant! Horrifying and captivating 🙌 so so horrifying to know it is real
Drinking game - every time someone says nucyouler (not nuclear) - have a shot.
The show is amazing and Harris deserves at least an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination for her performance.
i went to chernobyl in 2008. a day i will never forget, it was surreal to be so close to reactor building 4 and being in pripyat. the drama is excellent and harrowing
Yep, I visited in 2011 .....amazing ! ...the sarcophagus is now covered by the New Shelter Object.
Professor Moriarty! Great interview!
Love the show, was 7 in Scotland when it happened. Good to see the troubles they went to get it stable. Forgotten heros
I didn't know Jared Harris very well before watching Chernobyl and I discovered a great actor.
The show is a masterpiece. And Jared Harris doesn't play Legassov, he is Legassov.
Awesome.
I've become a huge fan of Harris after his performances in The Expanse, The Terror, and Chernobyl.
Don't forget mad men.
Best thing that's been on tv in a long time.
Time for a second season?
@@heartandtroll9993 yes!
BRILLIANT ACTOR JUST BRILLIANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing show!
You can hear Richard Harris in his voice
Apart for the accent. Harris been irish and his son raised in england.
@@aine7173 i am also Irish. so i know the difference. believe me .you can hear his fathers voice.
And you can see Richard Harris' lips in his lips. I should have known, he looked and sounded so familiar.
You can really see Richard Harris also. But beautifully he is very much his own person just as larger than life as his father. So very in awe of this series and all the cast and crew attached. Breathtaking achievement
Mad Men, The Terror, Chernobyl... if the series has Jared in the cast, it's going to be great.
He was a dramatic improvement for fringe
He was also General Ulysses S. Grant in "Lincoln"
The crown too
The Expanse. One of the best shows around
This guy is great in everything he's in. Even bad movies, he always stands out. His role in Chernobyl was brilliant, and deserves recognition.
what an excellent series.
The fact that in real life his character sent many men to their death in order to save millions was mind blowing. A few had to be sacrificed to save the many.
Also on Three Mile Island in the USA a partial meltdown occurred in 1979. I shutter at the thought that this same event could’ve also happened in the United States
A Chernobyl-style event is impossible in the United States.
Love the comparison of Cassandra.
Despite the fact this was the Best show I have ever seen, there was some amount of quite significant facts that were untrue. Legasov DID tell the truth at IAEA conference. He had prepared the report very accurately, and his daughter confirmed it. He didn't kill himself because of bad KGB. There had been a significant amount of pressure on him from academic circles, they were trying to accuse him and diminish his exploit. Also, he had depression and was feeling worse and worse due to illness caused by radiation. Also, he didnt conceal that he was recording the tapes, everyone in Kurchatov institute knew about him doing that.
There was no dramatic court truth revelation in real life. However, the sequence he retold in the series was brilliant. There were several other inaccuracies in the series, but those aforementioned were the most important.
I really hope this series leads to more, that are based on real situations and for the most part, factually correct. Many people are able to describe how a nuclear power plant works now because of this series and that's mind boggling, maybe there is a hunger for something that isn't super heroes or dragons. Some situations in history don't require you to add drama, they're dramatic enough.
That 'door story' got me to buy this book 'Voices From Chernobyl" 🥺
In the town of .... Pryat? Wait whaaaaat?
The name is, Pripyat...
celeroon89 it’s probably pronounced that way.
@@earthsign99 Nope, its pronounced Pripyat, just as you write it..
its Americans and English making money out of a USSR disaster....😑 the Irony....
@@ANDJELINA Everybody makes money out of everything and the only thing that can stop it is if you bitch and moan enough to bore the entire population of earth to death. Good luck.
@@ANDJELINA Sure they make money on something entertaining, and mostly, EDUCATIONALLY, so what? You can make money from whatever you want, stop complaining
Chernobyl has become the No.1 tourist destination thanks to your show
That haunting music as well
Great miniseries!
And I was so dumb to not realise he is a son of Richard Harris. Amazing.
07:47 *This story made me buy this book, one of the best I have ever read...*
His voice reminded me of someone and as soon as I saw his surname, I knew. His dad would be so proud.😍
Incredible artist
One might say it was fortunate that the accident occurred in Soviet Union. I'm not saying that it was disregard for human life, tho Soviets were known of that too, but the willingness to sacrifice people for greater good was quite prominent in Soviet Union. That may have been one thing that contributed to managing the crisis with efficiency that might not have been possible in some other nations.
This is exactly what i was thinking. If i imagine the same accident in western countries... it would be almost impossible to deal with it... what would they do?? The technology has to be bullet-proof otherwise we´re fucked.
Yes, on the one hand you are right about the disregard for lifes, but I would argue the efficiency of the managing the crisis, they didn't evacuate the Pripyat immediately, but after 36 hours, they let kids drink milk and etc. They didn't have functional dosimeters,at least some kind of safety for the liquidator. The main officers didn't want to know professional opinion, just wanted to hear everything is going to be okay. Other countries in USSR did not know (didn't want to know) about the seriousness of the accident, for example in CzechoSlovakia state officials let their citizens to go on (mandatory) 1st May parade that was outside in every city and town, so it would look like nothing happened. It was in the news, but there was not single information about the protection of people. They didn't tell them to not go out out while the radioactive ash was in the air or while it was raining.
So the efficiency could be a lot better, but again it just shows USSR care for lives as you said.
@@barboragimesova4587 Yes you are right. On the other hand when we look to 1950s and the atmospheric atomic bombs testing in USA and USSR - this has much more radioactive fall out than Chernobyl. In 1962 at the peak of tests the fall out was much higher in Czechoslovakia (and quite everywhere else) than during Chernobyl accident. In USA the regions of Nevada was an atomic wasteland. People used to watch A Bombs explosions with whole families sitting outside their houses in Las Vegas... There were also so called U.S. Atomic soldiers - a really sad part of man´s history. In USA they start to talk about it, in Russia they will never ever have any chance to be heard.
