When Legasov blurts out loudly "WE'LL BE DEAD IN FIVE YEARS" to Scherbina, and you see his face sink to absolute dread, just absorbing the full weight of that statement
and they were both dead within 5 years in real life
@Rebecca Woolf Chernobyl and Afghanistan
That was the most painful to watch for me
the best thing is that the real boris actually died 4 and a half years after the chernobyl incident.... probably done on purpose tho
“They mistakenly sent the one good man. God sakes, Boris, you were the one who mattered most”
Best scene in the series
I loved how his character developed into someone you end up loving in the series.
:'(
Seeing it again still makes tear up.
re-watching this scene gave me goosebumps. a grown ass man getting goosebumps and near crying
...and then that guy says they sent him because he was a nobody...
"You're done." Is probably the most horrifying words I would ever hear ever if something like that were to happen to me.
Why did he say "you're done" its sounds stupid im just really confused
Double meaning. It can mean either he's done with his 90-second work detail, or done as in he's going to die. Both, actually.
@@olivermatt787 because he got a hole in his shoe and he saw it so he said "you're done" because he's going to die
Because he is going to die
O he actually says you’re done because the soldier was just standing there,there was another team waiting to go in and he was just standing there frozen
#1: The whole damn show,
I swear if this show doesn’t take home every single Emmy it’s nominated for, I’ll lose faith in humanity. A masterpiece from HBO that scared the bejesus outta me. I hear dosimeters in my nightmares right before my skin starts melting from the inside out
Faith in humanity?? 😂😂😂😂😂Nice one
And then u hear in dreams " you are done comrade ". The next ones be ready u got 90 secs
I feel you have low standards in cinematography.
@@jeromebullard6123 it is a pretty good show, good quality, but most impotently this show fits into his stereotype perfectly, ppl tend to overrate things when that happens
Kris Voin it’s not a movie mate
"YOU DIDN'T SEE THE GRAPHITE, YOU DID NAAAAATTTTT!"
"Oh hai Boris!"
youre tearing me apart Lisa!
hahahaha --- such an underrated comment!
@@meisterlymanu5214 "you're tearijg me apart, Radiation! " FTFY
You're tearing me apart Legasov!
😂👍🏼👍🏼
"Do you taste metal?" One of the "oh shit" moments of the show
"Why worry about something that is never going to happen?....That's good. Maybe we should print that on our money."
I'm surprised that scene didn't make it.
Same. Clever, sarcastic, poignant with a load of despair in humanity, and best of all, delivered perfectly.
Probably the best way to sum up the whole show/Chernobyl experience.
The KGB aspect of the show really reminds me of 1984
@@theswagman1263, of course, it reminded 1984, Chernobyl was in 1986
I’m so glad a whole new generation of people get to learn about Chernobyl. So often we celebrate soldiers achievements from world wars but the volunteers that went in there knowing it was a death sentence truly are the unsung heroes of my generation.
exactly what I thought when I saw that there was an actual serie about chernobyl. I have done a lot of research about chernobyl and I knew what happened but it was actually not something a lot of people talked or even knew about. I was hyped for it since the first time I saw that there was actually going to be a serie about this because in my opninion these guys were the biggest unknown heroes on the planet and there is finally an actual, realistic, accurate and good serie about this, and its popular. It's like a big relief for me and probably some other people like you too that finally the biggest heroes het actual attention that they have never really gotten
@@frisomeijering3270 it's based on real events, but its not accurate or realistic, to many things in this series are exaggerated or pure fiction
@@HENRIKOIVUROVA well, with that I mean no mutated monsters and everything. but there are some differences indeed
The helicopter crash had nothing to do with radiation
Radiation is not contagious, after washing the person, they are harmless, and there is no way it would be absorbed by a baby like the show implies
The bridge of death never actually happened it was an urban legend
80% of all the people involved survived, and didn't all die like the show implies
The show may be a good watch but it's more anti nuclear propaganda which people seem to be taking as facts
And more probably more
I have only seen small parts of the show to be honest so I dont know what happened with the baby for example but I the liquidators were real heroes but never got a lot of attention and 80% survived still means up to 100.000 of them died, and that's a lot in my opnion
The kids playing in radioactive snow-like material is truly one of the most horrific scenes in the series
Agreed...
Yeah.
I agree. They don't know that it's radioactive fallout and that they can die.
Yes. It's not often said. But it is really a dark scene
The snow like material is ash
I think Boris "You were the one that mattered most, the one good man" part was one of the most emotional and best spoken lines on the show. To have a man that wanted to do good, but felt he hadn't done good his entire life. To have, as he approaches death, a good friend of him tell him that he was the reason they were successful at Chernobyl in preventing more loss of life was simply beautiful. Can you imagine what that would mean to someone in the same situation, to think of yourself as a failure not accomplishing your goals, but at what will be close to the end of your life you finally feel that you did actually do something meaningful, and not only to be told that, but to be told by a friend and someone you trust which makes it even more impactful.
This.
It was an amazing moment. Boris reflecting on his life, I was saddened to learn he was terminally Ill.
He did the same in 1988 Armenian earthquake
"Theon, you're a good man, thank you" - Bran Stark
They both know they are both going to die, one is coughing blood, the other is losing his hair. Those two were heroes also
"I was in the Toilet" - The Great Comrade Dyatlov
"I was in the toilet, bad sausages."
What's great is how not one person there bought it for a moment.
legendary excuse
I hate this guy more than Joffrey Baratheon in GOT
Actually wasn’t...
The most horrifying thing about Chernobyl is realization that if all those people didn't do their jobs and sacrifices, the whole Europe would have been a wasteland today.
No that's overreacting Japan didn't became a wasteland with higher amounts of uranium 235 enrichments exposures
@@ryousenketsu6053 you're delusional, go to the infirmary
@@ryousenketsu6053 That's primarily because the reactor cores were not exposed like the one at Chernobyl. Fukushima while on the same nuclear accident scale was a different kind of explosion.
Click here for more info: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_the_Chernobyl_and_Fukushima_nuclear_accidents
@@ryousenketsu6053 That's because a) it didn't explode, exposing the core b) the reactor fuel wasn't burning in the open air for weeks (uranium itself burns creating radioactive smoke) and c) evacuation took places immediately making the only casualties due to elderly and sick people being removed from their normal environments.
Fukushima is akin to a pizza burning in a pizza oven, whereas Chernobyl was a gas station exploding while continuously pumping out burning gas for weeks on end.
Ryou Senketsu like they said the way Chernobyl was made was cheaper , they prioritized money over safety
"Now you look like the Minister of Coal." Savage!
One of the inaccuracies of the show
saltab74 Lie! Look real facts!
@@seva5424 what do you refer to
It's actually sad that people like that scene. Yeah, it was probably entertaining but people from ex-USSR countries know how fake it is.
But the show in general deserves the highest grades! 10/10
the only bloop is the moment with the miners, there were no machine gunners in sight, only volunteers were taken, even all those who wished could not be taken.
"If you fly over the core, I swear to you, by tomorrow morning, you'll be BEGGING for that bullet". Not sure how that scene didn't even rate a mention...
Totally agree
100 percent agree with you, hell it was the moment that Boris knew Valery is not to be messed with
M G its a film, not a documentary.
Because its one of the most criticized scenes and has been called out as such. This was 1986 not 1936 and a member of the Central Committee would not threaten people with their lives. The scene where Dyatlov threatens people with being fired is much more akin to how the Soviet system worked. People didn't comply due to fear of their lives anymore but due to fear of their jobs.
In general the series does an excellent job to portray the accident and the effort to cleanup, an exceptional portrayal of the views of Soviet lives in the 1980s and a horrible, outright terrible portrayal of the soviet system that made the accident happen. The entire tagline "whats the price of lies" and how Lesganov contemplates on it in his suicide tape is entirely fictional, so is the trial scene. They made an excellent job but fell on the finish line.
@@DL-lt5ly It's a fiction based on actual events, and it's mostly true to the core events, as far as we can tell. Many scenes were fake, recomposed, or an exageration of the truth. They even acknowledge this by the end of chapter 5, telling facts from fiction about the characters. Yet, they did their research, driving millions of people to do the same, people whose basic understanding has probably been upgraded by now.
Who cares that scene never happened, it conveys the series message beautifully, it helps depicting the scale of the accident horror, and it's a great moment of cinematography.
6:17: *"Now you look like the Minister of Coal."* So many memorable scenes. Best show I've seen in a long time.
So have I

@@shingekino2973 хаха - шикарно!
The Cherenkov effect, happens with minimum radiation *smile*
@@Em50Lloyd em.... nah, they didn't have dat scene in there
what r u on about
"We're asking your permission to kill 3 men."
The nuclear facility at Chernobyl was named after the man in your profile pic. Ironic.
Well at least those dudes didnt die in the end. 2 of them are still alive and one died of heart attack.
@@Jebu911 i think the power of that scene comes from every character seeing it as a death sentence, even though its amazing 2 of them survived it
@@CynderDragoneye 3. All of them did. Baranov died of heart attack I believe
I thought this was number 1
I loved the scene where Boris says: "My advice: tell the truth. These men work in the dark. They see everything'" absolutely genius line.
#1 - When german engineering fails, you know you are dealing with some serious shit
@Kyle Lui true, but doesn't that still count as failing?
Brandenburg Airport - Hold my escalators !
You fooool! German science is the best in the world!
it failed bc they gave the germans the “propaganda number” as in they didn’t want the rest of the world knowing just how bad the situation was so they caused probably even more unnecessary deaths from having to send people in to remove the graphite
@@gamer-san8923 is that a jojo reference?
"Of all the ministers, and all the deputes,
entire congregation of...obedient fools,
they mistakenly sent one good man.
For God's sake, Boris. You were the one that mattered most."
Its the music, and the focus on the ambience in that scene that does it for me.
Not mistakenly. I think it is a testament to Gorbachev, that he sent both to the site to find out what is really going on. Gorbachev had a feeling he could trust the judgement of these two.
When Sitnikov turns and looks at the guard with his face turned red from the radiation...that's the expression of a man who knows he's now got just 2 weeks to live. Devastating and brilliantly poignant. Excellent show, I went in knowing virtually nothing and was very well taken care of.
his death was so unreasonable and pointless, damn. a casualty of someones pride and stubborness.
Same here
when i saw that scene,i paused the episode and got a break. The face he had was so sincere,so deep that i absorbed all of the feelings he gave with that look.
Seriously,this TV show must be awarded multiple times,even tho it's not 100 % accurate
I also felt so sorry for him... Seemed to be a good and professional guy, who had nothing to do with the accident, and then died with terrible suffering because of few idiots in charge. In real life he wasn't brought to the roof at gunpoint but rather just went there because of his own sense of duty. Still it's so sad!
That scene killed me inside. I woulda taken a bullet after reporting what i seen cause the death he was gonna experience woulda been hella painful.
Most horrific scene : Kudryavtsev and Perevozchenko looking directly into a burning reactor.
UGman YES
Viktor Proskuryakov and Alexander Kudryavtsev were told to go to drop the rods manually. Yuvchenko openned the door for them to go and look into the burning core.
Perevozchenko already saw the explosion and passed out by then.
Both of them were dead inside a month.
@@AlexeiRzv Yeah, he got the full dose of radiation from the initial explosion. He had no chance. He probably died almost immediately.
the gaping maw of Hell
As someone who works on nuclear plants, the scene with the men draining the water under reactor #4 is particularly haunting. The sound of the water, the radiometer, and the lights going out felt like a cold knife scraping on my spine.
Just imagine. You wouldn't be able to escape. You're stuck inside with something comparable to the Demogorgon, but even more deadly.
@@mushroomsrcool1449 what a horrible analogy. A demogorgon is nothing like radiation poisoning
@@psychoticAjAX the demogorgon is a mysterious figure of which is incredibly dangerous, especially alone. If it does kill you, barely anyone would know what killed you, just like radiation. All you can do is watch it kill you. Just like Radiation. (oh also, bugger off meanie)
Toptunov: (sobbing) "I'm sorry!"
Akimov: "There's nothing to be sorry about... we did everything right."
Toptunov: "But we didn't" 🥺
Such a sad scene.
"We'll be dead in 5 years!" Was my favorite moment. The emotion in 5 seconds!
Legasov, who said this, died after 2 years. Shcherbina, to whom he said this,
died after 4 years.
@@ihorpetrenko1027
Legasov Committed Suicide though
@@The_Wiz40 some claimed he was ill
@@thirien59 He was ill, it's unlikely he would've not died within 10 or so years after the constant dose he got.
“It’s cheaper”
Was also very powerful...
Where’s the part with the firefighter at the hospital who’s screaming in agony from his radiation burns? That part sent chills down my spine.
His name was Vasily Ignatenko. In the book "Chernobyl Prayer" (which I'm reading now and I strongly recommend it), there is an interview/conversation of the author Svetlana Alexievich and the wife of Vasily, Lyudmila Ignatenko. Their story is heartbreaking. HBO Chernobyl uses this conversation to form the story of this couple.
Stephen Ritger I agree it’s true hell your literally melting from the inside out I felt so bad for them in the hospital no morphine to numb the pain because it wouldn’t work poor souls
Omg when his wife wakes up in the hallway to mortifying screams, runs in and sees that HORRIFIC scene.
I binged this entire show yesterday...it’s one of, if not THE, best shows that I’ve seen.
My all time fav has been Band of Brothers since it released, up until now!
I binged the first 4 Tuesday
I binged it yesterday. Still shaking. It's so beautifuly well done and haunting at the same time. Stunning.
Jaime Guevara I want to watch it but is it gross/gory?
@@JulieDiana1992 No. It's rather disturbing but not gory
That scene - "You were the one who mattered most". We have seen so many shows with character developments and character bonds but who would've thought that we would see a pair of characters like a Scientist and Government High rank official creating such a touching connection and understanding. That scene where he admits that he didn't mattered but was told that he mattered the most... It was BRILLIANT.
One missed great scene though - "That's how a reactor core explodes. Lies"
Spoil? This happened in 1986. It would be like spoiling the end of world War II
Wait don't tell me. I'm only up to operation Barbarossa and I think this hitler guy might be on to something with his Russian invasion plan. I mean I guess there might be a turnaround in the second act, but I think those allied guys might not do too well.
Plus Those french beaches are REALLY well defended, so they'll probably go with an air invasion and that seems unlikely.
@@mafiacat88 I'm at the same point as you... I think the answer will come from the pacific. The Americans can't be there and watching the whole thing all along
Are you perhaps stupid?
Basically, you expect people to be born with detailed accounts of historical stories pre-programmed into their brains?
@@mafiacat88 personally, my favourite episode is when the Soviets defended Stalingrad
@@thedeergod435 man WW2 is my favourite anime
"Comrade soldier; you're done." Still sends chills down my spine.
He doesn't mean "dead" though, as people keep suggesting. The guy wanted to go back in and he was basically telling him get out of here.
@@anthonyr587he had graphite directly on his foot for like 10 seconds. It can probably be interpreted both ways.
@@_P785_ And? I swear, people have no idea how radiation works. 10 seconds wouldn't kill you. Absolute worst case scenario they'd amputate his foot. But even that probably wouldn't happen.
@@_P785_ Also gamma doesn't care about a leather boot. A tear in it makes literally no difference.
"We're still wearing the fucking hats" is not only the best moment of this show but probably the best tv moment in years.
Those last words of the roof scene: you're done
Damn that one messed me up
It's great scene, but it's not truth
@@НазарПетров-ф3в what isn't true? Liquidators were sent to that roof (Masha) and they were given no more than 2 minutes to throw as much debris off the side as they could.
Reminds me of the last line in "There Will Be Blood."
@@НазарПетров-ф3в Please do tell since you were there. The scene portrays what was shown on numerous recordings during that process
@@garagetwoeight4978 Liquidators on the roof it's true, but nobody tells " your done"
The funeral really got me. It must have been so demeaning for her to realise the state her husband believed in and died for now considers him a radioactive waste product and treats him exactly as such.
“The real danger is, if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth”.
“If we don’t find out the truth, what happened at Chernobyl will happen again”.
Best TV show I’ve ever seen. It better win every award available.
My favourite scene was when the boss of the miners told that joke "What is high as a building, burns tons of fuel every hour, makes a shitload of steam and noise and cuts an apple in 3 pieces? - A soviet machine that was built to cut an apple into 4 pieces!"
The whole series was masterfully done, but a few lines will stick with me forever:
"What is the cost of lies."
"Trust, but verify."
"It's not alarmist if it's a fact."
"You'll do it because it must be done. If you say that's not enough I won't believe you."
"We will all be rewarded for what we do here tonight."
"Not great, not terrible."
"They should print that on our money"
"Its not 3 roentgen, its 15000."
Is one that also stayed with me.
Best line for me "every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth"
You were the one that mattered the most, was such a hauntingly beautiful coversation.
that scene had me in tears

I loved Boris by the end so much !! Oh I've never loved a character in as much little time as in Chernobyl
I never thought Boris would change like that, what a hero!
i know this is about moments and not lines but in the final episode when legasov was detained...
Charkov: "Why worry about something that isn't going to happen?"
Legasov: "Oh that's perfect, they should put that on our money."
Made the whole series for me.
The sound of Geiger's counter has been implemented masterfully in some scenes. It's only increase sense of scare, fear, and anxiety. Greatfull series
Bartosz I was creeped out. It’s extremely unsettling. Jesus.
Shcherbina's arc in this series is fantastic. Deep down i think he was a man who wanted to do the right thing, but couldn't because of the system around him, Chernobyl gave him the chance he wanted to make a difference.
I think the cow scene is super SUPER powerful. Replace the references in her speech with the young Soviet officer telling her to leave; an officer from the Red or White Armies, a Stalinist, a German officer...it's a timeless scene, and you could see it play out across the decades. That one scene alone could be played as a short film at Cannes and it would get awards.
The scene where about two dozen people watching the fire from the bridge....
Oof that was horrifying
That bridge was a long way from the reactor, there were hundreds of military and firemen and reactor workers walking round the reactor.
@@Digmen1 According to reports, none of the firemen or the people on the bridge survived
@DigNap15 It's called "the bridge of death" because every single person that stood on it that night reportedly died within the next 3 weeks.
They were playing in the nuclear fallout thinking it was snow I don’t think they lived very long after that...
@@buffya8012 none of them lived. True story
Those were the longest 90 seconds of my life and I was just watching.

As far as watching a tv show, this was the longest 90 secs I've experienced. As far as being the actual longest? These are not. WHEN your life is actually on the line, you will know this.
I couldn't even watch it, it was that intense for me
I said.."My God, don't let anyone fall!" Then the soldier stumbled and I said "Well...Fuck!"

Best moment: Legasov told the truth in court - "I lied following orders. Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt will be paid."
and he paid for it, with his life.
"What's that Valery, a smile?" should have been included
Nope, cuz the video will get demonetized for excessive gore
That series was by far one of the most emotional rollercoasters I have ever experienced.
papasparks2009 reminded me of the Korean movie old boy. Watch it in Korean tho. Not the us reinactment
Scene worth mentioning:
-" He's back"
...
-"Its not 3 roentgen, its 15 thousand."
Great mini-series... very educational and a lesson learn for all mankind: what is the cost of lies??
2.50 I’m pretty sure I don’t know converting lies to U.S currency would be
Yes! Things nuclear fascinate me BUT I LEARN'T A LOT!
The final courtroom scene when it is explained just why
it blew up was an educational master-class!!
It took something so complicated, so complex and gave
AN IDIOTS GUIDE that anyone could understand!
I don't expect I will ever be lucky enough to watch something
as good as this again!!
IT SHOULD WIN EVERY AWARD GOING!
Some truths are best kept secret...
An orange clown as president
Some of the things were very educational, a lot of it was a bunch of bull shit. Radiation doesn't work the way the show explained it.
It's impossible to choose 10 best moments because each of the scene in this series is unforgettable.
This whole show is a Goddamn masterpiece.
The scariest thing about it was that it was something that actually happened.
Edit: Over 1K likes! Thanks so much! 🙏
I think the scariest thing that the show didn't deal with (because it's too scary for it, even despite all the graphic scenes they've included) are the mutations that the children and the newborn babies had to suffer and live with. The USSR made sure that the photos don't get out and they are not easy to find, but when you stumble upon one of them - imagining this reality if you have to be the parent- it's the most depressing side effect of the disaster!

I hope I'll be better...
This show was executed so well it was fantastic.
This series IS instant Classic and will go down the history of one of the best TV shows ever created. It really deserves ALL possible awards. And it fully deserves best EVER rating on IMBD.

My favourite moment was probably General Pikalov
'Even with protection it probably wont be enough'
'Then I'll do it myself'
GoT; Will I be Queen?
HBO; For a time....then comes another, younger and more beautiful *Chernobyl*
GoT is the best in it's genre - fantasy medieval age story. And Chernobyl is probably the best in it's genre - documentary movie.
Both are the best
@@joshuakimmich9536 agreed, I do love them both, I needed to fill a void. I will always be on the fence about the ending, but I do know the best thing Jon ever did, was stab the dragon Queen. Jared Harris was right, Jon Snow did become a little dumbf*ck in the final couple of seasons, for a moment I thought he was being strategic and careful when in came to taming Daenerys, but it turned out he was in wuuv, and that killed it for me.
I can VIVIDLY remember the liquidator 90 second roof scene. It consumed me and I was there feeling everything those brave men must have been feeling. Very few scenes can do that to me... that's how I know it was an INCREDIBLE scene.
Last episode "Vichnaya Pamyat" has perfect 10/10 score after >20,000 votes on IMDb.
"We're dealing with something that has never happened on this planet before".
Applies both on subject of the series and that perfect score.
What a masterpiece !
Absolutely
Not anymore, it's 9,9/10....
There are always partybrakers.
I've watched this show about 4 times now, and every single time, I cried when it ended. It's so powerful and emotional while staying faithful to the real story. And it feels very real
Loved the "they're forbidding children in Frankfurt from playing outside" while children are outside playing next to the reactor.
Before I had seen HBO's Chernobyl, or very much of it, I had seen an interview of Anatoly Dyatlov and I actually felt some sympathy for him. After all, he spent years in prison and died not long after the interview of radiation related illness, in 1995. Once I had seen all the episodes of 'Chernobyl', Dyatlov became a monster. True, a monster created by the old Soviet Union, but a real, blood dripping, ravening monster.
I used to work on CT and MRI Scanners and the CT's were X-Ray machines, so I had to have radiation training. I was never very good at all the different measurements; Becquerels, Sieverts, Roentgens, Rads, Rems and so on, but I did know a Roentgen is a huge amount of radioactivity - huge.
For me, the most shocking moment in the film was where the Health Physicist goes to the Political Director and tells him; all the meters were reading 3.6 Roentgens. The Director asks; "So what?" "They are only calibrated to 3.6 Roentgens, the reading must be much higher." The Director says; "If they are reading 3.6 Roentgens, then the reading IS, 3.6 Roentgens! I'm not telling Moscow anything else.!" And there you had it, the whole smash, right there.
RIP the fallen of Chernobyl.
I forgot to cancel my subscription after game of thrones ended so I stumbled into this show. This is one of the best shows ever. My heart goes out to all the innocent living things that paid for brashness and incompetence. Truly horrific and very moving.
me too, i only subscribed to Now TV for GoT and was gonna cancel today...i took one last look last night and saw Chernobyl...i thought ok lets have a look...i binged watched it all and now cant stop telling people they have to watch it.

"They mistakenly sent the one good man" line brought me to tears
For God's sake Boris you were the only one that matteres😭😭😭
The scene where he says:
'It's not 3.6 roentgen it's 15000!'
Boris and Legasov outside the courthouse is the moment that sticks with me the most. The final layers are pealed away from Boris, he shares his deepest insecurities and Legasov simply tells him the truth. Sometimes the truth hurts but other times, it’s what damaged people *need* to hear in order to heal their souls. That scene was a brilliant example of the latter.
"We're staying here."
"We are... and we'll be dead in 5 years."
Larry F they both were aswell.
Each episode was just epic.
The radiation effects, the effort of draining water, the digging by the miners, clearing the roof, the explosion and the end credits with the haunting music & background chorus
The ending of Episode 5 with that choir singing was one of the best closing scenes in TV history
That scene where Legasov asks the pilot to not go over the core directly, should've been there in this list too. When Legasov says "what have they done" and the way he reacts after looking at the glow just shows how dangerous it's and clearly one of the best scenes in this series.
So many great lines in the last episode:
"Every lie incurrs a debt to the truth, and one day that debt is repaid"
"Why worry, it'll never happen. Oh that''s perfect. They should put it on our money"
And the whole closing monologue, ending with "What is the cost of lies"
Game of thrones I'm the best television series
Chernobyl hold my graphite
GoT is the best in it's genre - fantasy medieval age story. And Chernobyl is probably the best in it's genre - documentary movie.
Both are the best
Go away millennial
"one good man" scene makes me cry every time
Best scenes of Chernobyl
*all 5 episodes*
10:22 , It's believed that every single person on the bridge died from radiation poisoning.
Actually, no-one is really sure about that. There is no record of who was actually at the bridge and who died. It may have been true, but it is just as likely a bit of an urban myth...not that there weren't plenty of other horrible things going on. Google the bridge of death....
@@grendlsma There is nobody currently alive that stood on that bridge in the early hours of April 26, 1986. The Soviet Union downplayed the true death toll and the current Russian government wants to keep it that way.
@@ZFPAkula This is probably the most complete article I've found on the "bridge of death"
www.truthorfiction.com/the-chernobyl-bridge-of-death/
Yes, the Soviets undercounted the deaths following Chernobyl, quite extremely....but there is no evidence that "everyone" on the bridge of death died. There are actually accounts of people still alive who claim to have been there.
Yes I doubt if they all died, as the bridge is quite a way from the reactor.
Well they were playing in nuclear fallout,I doubt they survived
What about when the technicians look into the exposed core. That's a horrific and brilliant scene!
I found the bus evacuation a very powerful scene.
One does not simply picks up the best scenes from this series. The whole series is the best scene.
They could have dramatised it,blood, gore,rhetorics,shoutin matches...but they went with facts,powerful dialogues,no nonsense ,no drama.more harrowing and eerie and hits home.brilliantly done 🤘
i love the acting of the guy when he is being questioned how a reactor can blow up, he is scared, he says he doesnt know therefore maybe for a minute implying he is giving up his stance, but as the guy who is questioning is turning away happy with the i dont know response, he then utters "but it did", that side eye look as he was saying "but it did"......... perfect scene, perfect acting
What about "VNIMANIYE! VNIMANIYE!"
The defining moment in Pripyat's history.
I give it rating of most scariest background score ever produced...🥶
No mention of Vasily Ignatenko, seeing how his body deteriorated until he finally died.
Yes that was really horrible what happened to him.
i recall having seen real pictures of Hisashi Ouchi and Masato Shinohara form the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident, google at own risk, but they looked worse than Vasily, R.I.P
@@MrDeath5300 you're reffering to an accident in 1999 not Fukushima. Hisashi Ouchi looked worse because this japanese freaks wouldn't let him die for 83 days. He suffered multiple heart attacks, DNA decay, his body simply was dead but they kept him alive on life-support machines against his own and his family will. It's a horryfing story
Its hard to chose 10 best moments in a series full of amazing moments. Stunning show.
I think AZ-5 is a good name for a Heavy Metal band
Vasily’s death and the pets execution are the most heartbreaking scenes
Man it’s hard to choose a best scene in this series. My personal favorite was “You’re the one who mattered most.” Definitely wasn’t the most intense or haunting scene, but it def made me cry for these two amazing characters and actors. The inch worm at the end of it was a nice touch.
10:46 Literally Cried At This Moment. Emotions of Highest Order 🥺😩
The impact of this series is incredible. I tried to rewatch it 3 years later, and I just.. can't. It's still so horrifying. Maybe one day.
The concrete burial scene really got to me. It was so unsettling, unnatural. Theres no rest and peace. A hasty forced cold farewell. Its not a resting ground.
The moment in the hospital when the man who took his baby down to the bridge of death is trying to give the baby to Lyudmilla Ignatenko as she walks past trying to find her husband. I felt physically sick with fear and sadness.
it sticks with you even after an episode is over
