Vichnaya Pamyat

Miniseries

Chernobyl

The Happiness of All Mankind

i do think this is some really good television. after watching so many terrible disney+ marvel show finales, i was beginning to wonder if it was even possible to complete a show and give a good finale after 6 episodes. chernobyl did it in 5 episodes! 
if you asked me what this was about, i wouldn’t tell you it was about a nuclear accident that happened in ukraine on april 26, 1986. i would tell you it’s simple snapshots of everyday life made into haunting images by the incredible score and surrounding dialogue. i would tell you it’s disgusting, and definitely not anything you should watch while eating. i would tell you it’s guys in suits talking about seriously dangerous, end-of-humanity and end-of-life-on-earth stuff. i would tell you it’s perfect.

9.8/10.

THE greatest mini/limited series I have ever watched. From beginning to end this season just enthralled me and got me invested in this horrific tragedy. Before this series, I knew of the nuclear meltdown but had no idea it was this bad. The cinematography was next level. The way the producers used cinematography to convey aspects of the story was beautiful. The characters/acting was perfect. Jared Harris as Legasov and Stellan Skarsgård as Boris were both perfect castings.  Stellan Skarsgård's performances in both Andor and this series prove how much of a goat he is. This also had so many Game of Thrones actors sprinkled all around. Overall a near-perfect show with minimal flaws. S Tier.

Devastating. Incredible show.
