>Absolutely. It doesnt overstay its welcome.
It kinda does, if just barely. The mission to open the valve in the basement is essentially repeated with the "bio robots" chucking the graphite off the roof. I remember watching dudes be like "we have to send people to their deaths" and being like "I think we've been over this".
They could have cut an episode from the series easily.
I skip the dog episode because it's cheap emotional impact
They had to actually made up shit because like, 1 person died and that's it
That's a filler episode 100%
What the hell is this thing called and why do they jiggle?
What is it supposed to do/indicate?
It's such a weird device. Nothing looks like it anywhere in the world.
they are control rods for the reactor, they raise/lower to control the rate of the nuclear reaction.
they only jiggle when shit is very wrong and probably about to blow up, like at chernobyl
Barring whether that actually happened or not, those were the rod caps and they were "jumping" due to the pressure buildup from the heat. Closest example I think I can give is imagine how the lid of a boiling pot jiggles, now compare that to something that's around 800 pounds in each channel
Interesting.
Since I obviously don't know shit about nuclear reactions I never thought about what control rods even were. They were just words that went along with "nuclear power".
Lucky for the engineers that gravity and weight does the hard work of controlling it then (after the math of the machine was done first).
I have to remind you that most nuclear plants are just steam-electric bust instead of using coal or gas to heat the water it's nuclear fission. We've never really "moved away" from reciprocating steam engines for more than two centuries since its inception.

yeah, we have. because they use steam turbines not pistons. steam turbines have been around for fricking ever bro

Yeah.
I wonder if there will ever be a way to create power differently. It'll be wild but I doubt we'll live to see it.
It's probably something that has to happen once governments stop being homosexuals and we finally power the whole world with nuclear energy and whatever else is already standing and still has support infrastructure like some dams and the healthiest coal plants.

I only watched HBO's Chernobyl, tbh. Good enough for me. I remember that at the time Russia/Putin was seething and promised to deliver their own version of it (which is the true one, according to Putin). kek
>I remember that at the time Russia/Putin was seething and promised to deliver their own version of it (which is the true one, according to Putin). kek
yeah they were apparently going to make their own series that showed the "truth" that the chernobyl disaster was actually some kind of CIA sabotage operation, I'm not kidding. It was so poorly received by the public that they walked it back then never mentioned it again.
Chernobyl 1986 is almost like capeshit compared to the HBO series. fictional hero character that rescues his coworkers and enters the radiation zone more than once....
I watched Chernobyl and now am watching The Days. I am surprised at how badly nips handled it, 25 years later, in capitalist democratic country. I am half-way through The Days and it pisses me off how almost everyone is so fricking beta indecisive cuck with a bug-people mindset.
The decision to amalgamate the hundreds of scientists and engineers into the one character was a bold and risky choice, but one that I think ultimately paid off and made the story easier to follow.
Making it a woman was fricking stupid thoughbeit
>instead of making a bunch of 3 dimensional characters they just rolled it all into some super scientist who has all the mechanical, theoretical and practical knowledge on how to run a nuclear reactor
Eh I dunno dude sounds kinda iffy, again I haven't watched it but.
The actress is such a c**t too
I saw some behind the scenes thing interviewing her and she was literally like "the men messed up so the female scientist has to come clean up the mess"
Legasov was an amalgamation too dumbass. irl he was one of hundreds supervising the cleanup. He was also not the one to propose evacuating and ignored advice opposing the bullshit helo drops because he wanted to look good.
It's pozzed bluepilled sjw propaganda. Tries to make it sound like a brilliant Mary Sue scientist hidden-figures her way into solving all the problems men couldn't deal with. Also pushes COVID misinformation like trust doctors and that kind of thing.
Remember when you thought a cold was going to kill 10% of people and therefore justified global totalitarian measures?
You're a moronic stooge and the way you pretend to care about evidence is sickening.
have a nice day.
Not him btw.
>you absolutely deserve what is coming next.
oohhh scary you mean shit will just keep on keepin on like it always has? Or do you have some more super insider Q material to drop here that will totally make it all make sense?
Anyway, yes OP, Chernobyl was kino and you should give it a watch
>Mary Sue scientist
yeah, this show wouldve been a lot better if there was 20 additional scientists named boris or ivan that each had one line of dialogue.
frick narrative flow and story structure, I want tedious historical authenticity
Threadly remider actual /misc/ liked this show because it showed how communism actually was and even named the holodomor genocide by name and these posts are dishonest disney shill cope because disney+ is getting its ass handed to them by HBO
Based.
I heard people in work talking about hidden figures recently. They believed the movie is what happened. They think the woman with light skin and blue eyes had to go to the Black bathroom.
The left is heavy into the green energy grift and nuclear BTFOs all the solar/wind/bullshit they are trying to make into the new standard. Gotta make propaganda to keep people scared.
It's delaying via pipe dream and removes some nuke group support and derails debate/cohesion within nuke. It's a tactic like: You can't have nuke power now, but you can have thorium/fusion/whatever else that doesn't exist some decades from now- so that's why you can't oppose my alternatives that are available now.
>Russia bad >Lies (code for Orange Man) bad >Nuclear power bad >Scientists good >Doctors good >Women yaaaas
It's like it was a comfy introduction to how the world turned in 2020. Now people realize covid was a joke, Trump will win in 2024, and Russia is fricking over nato in Ukraine.
For one, the existence of Emily Watson's character and painting Dyatlov as an butthole of a boss. He was known to be strict but not whatever the frick they did with the show.
I'm talking about factual errors, very obviously the woman character was made for filming practicality. What exactly is so mccarthy-like about approximating real events to make them filmable?
Another one is that virtually all the "science-men" were in conflict with the "bureaucrats". Another one is the coal miner scene where the Minister of Coal was caricaturized as someone well-above the coal miners when in reality he was one himself and his workers liked him. Also the radiation damage, while gruesome as well in real life was greatly exaggerated for the series.
The way that it portrays radiation as if it were communicable is wrong. It's been a couple years since I watched it, but there's a scene in which one of the wives of the fire fighters supposedly catches a dose from her dying husband who was in the thick of it on the night of the accident. If he was radioactive enough to give his wife a near fatal dose in the few hours they were together then he wouldn't have been alive. The show goes on to say that her in vitro baby "filtered" all the radiation out of her and saved her life. This is moronic for several reasons, but most of all because she didn't have internal contamination (moreso than anyone else living in Pripyat), her radiation dose was from proximity to irradiated men. Radiation is energy, it can't be filtered out, only shielded.
The whole show is like that in its inconsistent and often inaccurate but suitably terrifying depiction of nuclear radiation.
Someone who's been sitting in the hospital for days does not have radioactive material still on their skin moron. Their clothes have been removed and they've been washed. The radioactivity of bodily fluids is minimal.
They explicitly externally decontaminated the men from the fire brigade. The internal contamination that they suffered would have been mostly in the lungs and to a much lesser extent in the GI tract. All of that contamination is self-shielded by bodily tissue. My point is that if they were loaded with a hundred Curies apiece or whatever, they would be dead long before they could kill anyone around them.
t. nuclear reactor operator. I know more than you.
to be fair to the show, it's possible that the hospital staff was not fully informed about the effects of radiation and how to treat it. They do have a scene where it's explicitly established that the hospital doesn't have any medication or anything for treating people exposed to radioactive material, i.e. the soviet state did not have any plans or procedures in place for a nuclear catastrophe. I mean they didn't even have those plans for the reactor staff let alone a nearby hospital. I would bet that depiction is actually true to the real historical event too.

Oh absolutely, I agree. They were not equipped at all to treat radiation sickness and there was no plan in place for a disaster on this scale. The sentiment that "reactors do not melt down in the Soviet Union" was definitely a factor in this. They didn't plan for a worst case, because even discussing the worst case scenario was tantamount to treason. I would say as someone who has read the NATO/IAEA case file on Chernobyl, and has operated reactors, and majored in the history of the USSR when I went to college after my time in the nuclear navy, the show gets all the broad strokes right.

>The show goes on to say that her in vitro baby "filtered" all the radiation out of her and saved her life.
that line did stick out as ridiculous to me as well, I think the intended or at least correct way to do that would have been to say that the baby died because children and infants are way more at risk from radiation exposure than adults. no idea why they made it sound like it was filtered or whatever.
there was another line that was clearly dumb as well, one of the briefing scenes where they are talking about the water tanks exploding, the woman says that they estimate that the steam explosion would be 5 megatons or some shit. Obviously that number is complete bullshit because only a hydrogen bomb could have that kind of yield, it was so dumb that I decided to look into it.
Apparently, the show came up with that number based on a record from one of the soviet scientists at the time. The scientist apparently did actually give a figure for the explosion being comparable to 5 megatons despite that clearly being impossible, but apparently experts now assume that what he meant was that the radioactive contamination would be comparable to the fallout of a 5 megaton bomb, not the blast radius, since chernobyl was like a gigantic dirty bomb.
So did pretty much everyone who worked on the cleanup. Most of them didn't even have a significantly increased risk of cancer.
The whole "lava reaching the water table and rendering half of europe uninhabitable" was never a serious thing either
They played the risks up a lot in the show in general
All you brain rotted idiots complaining about le Mary Sue character also know the simply epic climax speech also didn’t happen, right? That it was added to make a piece of entertainment entertaining? If you are so hung up on muh accuracy go read a textbook about it you dorks.

Queens gambit, haunting of hill house and 112263 were gay.
they have lived under one authoritarian regime or another for centuries, and authoritarian regimes like that are constantly propagandizing about the individual's duty to work, suffer and die if necessary for the advancement of the state.
That part where the 3 dudes heroically volunteer for certain death to go into the radioactive water to shut off some valve is kinda ruined by the knowledge all of them IRL lived long lives with no radiation sickness at all
I was expecting someone to question if they actually did it or did they turn back and just say they made it all the way. They made it seem so important you cant just take some peasant who didnt want to die for others' word.
It’s a great show. The one thing I did find funny was at the end when they reveal that everyone was based on a real person except for the scientist woman who was clearly shoehorned in out of need for a female character.
not great not terrible, if you have developed enough taste you'll be progressively more disappointed as each episode introduces more and more worthless noise to the story
had it not been a miniseries it'd have turned into capeshit quick
depends on your tolerance for delusion and your knowledge of concrete
I work with concrete
Very much so. I never re-watched it, but it's very well done.

That same thing happened with the Korean ferry
So much for muh high asian IQ
There's a BBC docudrama from the 2000s about Chernobyl that's pretty good
Very. It's kino from start to finish, and isn't too long to where it gets boring or too short to where it feels like it leaves out too much.
yes
if you can get past the russkies speaking english
goated show bruh
prolly one of the better written historical docudramas
It's kino dude, go watch and enjoy.
I fricking miss the awesome chernobyl and terror threads on Cinemaphile
I've watched it three or four times now. Never gets old. The court scene at the end is pure kinography.

Why does hollywood have a hard on for nuclear stuff these past few years?
Because they want to push "green energy" as an alternative to fossil fuels and need to scare the sheep away from cheap and clean nuclear energy

reddit trash
IMO true detective s1, Chernobyl and succession are the best shows of the last decade or so
Yeah, 10/10. Some of the best television ever made.
They ended up living irl
So did pretty much everyone who worked on the cleanup. Most of them didn't even have a significantly increased risk of cancer.
The whole "lava reaching the water table and rendering half of europe uninhabitable" was never a serious thing either

Srs answers only:
Why do Russians have such a disregard for human life?
they have lived under one authoritarian regime or another for centuries, and authoritarian regimes like that are constantly propagandizing about the individual's duty to work, suffer and die if necessary for the advancement of the state.
fatalism to the extreme
all of russian history has been being assraped by regime after regime, they're all depressed. probably the group of people that has had it the worst
but if you ask them it's always someone else's fault
*Ukrainians
Good show
It's a solid 3.6
It's one of the greatest tv series ever made
The Days is also alright
Ah yes, a historical event recounted by HBO. What could possibly go wrong?
Were you expecting from a tv show?
That part where the 3 dudes heroically volunteer for certain death to go into the radioactive water to shut off some valve is kinda ruined by the knowledge all of them IRL lived long lives with no radiation sickness at all

Well there's no question they actually did it because if they hadn't, there would've been a huge steam pressure explosion
Chernobyl posting was a fun time.
Great show. It's fiction, but entertaining and well made fiction.
great show, worth a rewatch. Rewatch as in skipping all the belarus woman part and the dog shooting part with the heroin addict actor.
It’s a great show. The one thing I did find funny was at the end when they reveal that everyone was based on a real person except for the scientist woman who was clearly shoehorned in out of need for a female character.

not great not terrible, if you have developed enough taste you'll be progressively more disappointed as each episode introduces more and more worthless noise to the story
had it not been a miniseries it'd have turned into capeshit quick
The first few episodes are undeniable kino. If only material like this was more common
100% great kino
