or Fukushima, with everyone played by English actors

Great show. Thought after the 4th episode is was going to limp home but nope, the breakdown and flashback scenes we're perfect.

The ending bringing it all full circle with pictures and the stories was great, too.

One of the best acted shows I've every seen.

Have to agree here.

The scenes from inside the control room were electric. (No pun intended...ha) I was completely engrossed.

Thought they wrapped up nicely, and real footage of scenes were nice touch. Chilling picture of firefighter gear in basement of hospital

Better show than I expected

final episode was good and really made the accident understandable for the laymans.

Russians are waaaaay too prideful. Wonder how current Russia feels about this show being aired?

Loved the show ....and they knew not to mess around and get top quality veteran actors.
But the timing of this show was no surprised to me.

And I thought it was interesting that the woman character Ulana Khomyuk was the driving moral compass of the show.
I'm like ...wow, what a perfect liberal story line that is. Bad Russians with a woman hero.

Sure enough, the character Ulana is completely made up. She does not exist.

I haven't seen the show, but I know how it ends. Are spoilers allowed?

some surprising facts that I was unaware of, and I work in the nuclear industry.

I know the history from my time as a Navy nuke. More info was provided here? Worth the watch?

more about the politics surrounding it, which I found interesting.

I'd say give it a watch.

In episode one when they showed the control room, I didn't really know what was going on but when then showed it again and all the stuff I missed or whatever.......... wow.

Legesov was a true hero to the people of Russia.

You talked before about mini nuke plants if I recall.


Can you give a quick explanation again as I was telling my neighbor but I remember no real details.

small modular reactors?

Small Modular Reactors

there are also new nuclear technologies that are being looked into, but building one is very far off here in the US. We aren't really capable of building a new reactor here anymore since Reagan shut it down after TMI.

I know what a reactor does but Legesov's story with the blue and red tiles was great and really showed the "dance" needed to keep it all going smooth.

I agree. I'd like to take something like that with me for when I go talk to high schools

Show was great. No matter what you knew it was fantastic show. Human interest stuff was well done, especially the killing of the animals.

Hard to say well done about such a horrible thing.
