The General is a real leader and one hell of a man. Send me. I will go. Not push it off on some grunt.

1:23 This is the moment Boris tips towards Valery. Shcherbina sees Legasov get asked a question he doesn't know the answer to, and he sees him just say he doesn't know. Earlier in the committee meeting, when Gorbachev challenged him for basing all his conclusions off the description of graphite, Shcherbina saw again that Legasov didn't try to bluff or BS. Meanwhile these two chuckleheads met him claiming they've already know who's "accountable" even though the building is still literally on fire behind them.

I love the subtle facial expressions on Boris when Legasov says "I'm not prepared to explain it 'at this time'", Boris is able to understand that Legasov truly thinks the reactor has exploded (in that he's not trying to sell a story he doesn't believe in truthfully) and that he's confident he will actually be able to explain why in the future. This is immediately followed by a scene where Nikolai and Viktor start thrashing him by attacking his character, and Legasov simply answers with stern silence, and Boris sees through the plant managers defensive bullshit/trashing and understands that Legasov is willing to let his actions speak in place of his words.

Spirit of communism vs reality of communism

Never underestimate a man who knows a lot about concrete.

The first time I saw this I got emotional when the General says he’ll go himself. I don’t know if that truly happened but as a 20 year US enlisted military veteran it is utterly impossible to imagine any of my superior officers ever volunteering for that job.

"Please, tell me how an RBMK reactor core explodes" "Well, youd have to be a fool not to see the open core, graphite on the roof and radiation sickness. And while Im not prepared to say HOW you did it at this time, as a scientist, im greatly excited to see just what level of your incompetence led to the impossible"

Since when people at chernobyl speaks english? 🤔

Ignorance is the key for tyranny

This is/was a good series. Seemed authentic.

Please somebody name this series so I can find it !!!

Masterpiece

0:21 Fun Fact: Con O' Neil has voiced Mohg in Elden Ring

I bet Legasov felt so good explaining how the RBMK exploded to those two dunces

The same kind of groupthink and moral and legal corruption has permeated the US government. Maybe it has always been there and I was just naive, but anyone with a functioning brain and eyes can see it clearly now.

The big guy did not get to be where he was by accident - he knew how to cut through red tape and get to the core of things.

1:38 it was at this moment that the audience realised Boris was, in fact, a bro.

They haven't even contained the disaster, or even understood it - but are ready to point fingers immediately. Describes leadership perfectly, regardless of government or corporate.

"I have a list of individuals who we believe are accountable. Noticeably absent from this list: Us."

Genrikh Yagoda was a pretty cool guy.

phenomenal actors.. phenomenal show

That moment before he asks why he saw graphite on the roof. It's like the weight of the future is written on his face and this was the point of "are we going to continue with the bullshit and risk the planet, or should we maybe take this seriously now??"

The problem is that "Then i do it myself" men die before reching significant ranks.

Putin is unhappy because it showed the incompetence of the leadership and the bravery of the soldiers, plant workers and the emergency workers.

1:35 at this moment he taste the power of truth and got addicted since. Legasov want to search for truth Shcherbina like the power of truth General Pikalov that have to operate in truth

“Disgraceful to spread disinformation at a time like this” Sounds exactly like American media during the meme virus.

covid vibes

Legasov knew how bad it was, nobody listened

After this, Scherbina got fat, evil, and moved to Geidi Prime 😭

The taught "gotcha question" and the smug behavior during is so very, very, very familiar. I'm atleast glad they no longer hide that they are openly Communist. It's so painfully obvious once you compare the patterns of behavior.

The part about the whole Chernobyl incident that actually really surprised me is that the Communist Party decided to actually do something about it, all the Fallout radiation basically all the bad stuff wasn't going to affect Russia it was the satellite countries of Russia mostly and we all know how they felt about their satellite countries.

Second of all, he says he is concrete expert? Well, concrete has effects on electrical generation, much so. Run a metal detecter over concrete and you will see what i mean.

They keep trying to take things apart without the knowledge. They are designed to opporate without interference

Stellan Skarsgård is truly a fabulous actor. Harris is no slouch either, they casted this series perfectly.

Such a fantastically well done docudrama. I can't wait to watch this one again (and again!)

“ even with lead shielding, it may not be enough” “ then I’ll do it myself…” BASED AND COLD AS ICE 🧊 🥶

Fine!!!! I'm watching it again! 🔥

You can see Pikalov's bs meter go off at 1:57. He knew the 2 standing next to him were full of BS and it was his duty to prove they were.

the dude pulling out the list of people to throw under the bus as the very first thing is... very on point... for the time and place.

1:22 I'm not prepared to explain how a RBMK reactor explodes at this time. A little foreshadowing here, by the end he knows EXACTLY how a RBMK reactors explode.

They sent the wrong man. Instead of a “yes” man, they sent someone that wanted answers and solutions. The Russian people were asked to fix a mistake there government made. They knew nothing about, and did the best they could.

Love how everybody (in the Soviet Union, that is) can just pass the buck onto any given subordinate; it's not my fault- it's gotta' be his!!!

1:55 Pikalov openly sighing at Formin’s bullshitting. He was visibly relieved when Boris and Larasov arrived. 0:27 the look on his face when the two screwups speak for him to Boris.

One of the best series ever made.

"Why did I see graphite on the roof" is the best most striking comment and moment in the entire show .

Why the deputychairman see graphite on the roof? I always laugh about the stupidity of this Question and how acting the persons so good. Real good

Boy it took them no time to get right to last step of the emergency...punishing the innocent.

Then I'll do it myself... THAT is a leader

"I understand!" LMFAO such a perfect dismissive response.

Why do these clowns sound like democrats? Odd, huh?
