The pregnant woman is actually a real person, her storyline in the series was based on her memoir book. So her bad decisions were not made up by the writer
@@lordcrumb07 I don't see it as stupidity, it was ignorance. We know that there was a shit ton of radioactivity, the firemen and their wives did not... numerous times she says "it's just some burns".
This show pissed off the current government of Russia enough that they are building a state funded show that "show the true cause" of cia sabatoge. I feel bad for you living in that type of place.
I have the photo essay book “A Day In The Life of the Soviet Union” from the late 80’s. This series looks like that. The attention to detail right down to phones and hairstyles is amazing.
thamonkaface999 meant to be, but it’s more like power to the government -from the people and if they protest, shoot them. Unless you can point to a historical example of it doing anything else.

@@adityasrivastava6336 That article was wrong I read the same thing. The "divers" were never in water deeper then waist deep and never exposed to much radiation. They all survived and never had any radiation effects for the rest of their lives. As a matter of fact to them they were not worried and it was just another day on the job. Everything Chernobyl gets exaggerated to the 9th degree because it makes for great drama. It was a tragic event but the show has more bullshit then truth.
Chernobyl is a masterpiece in my opinion. It's very intense, realistic, heartbreaking, terrifying, with a lot of great acting, and a lot of sequences had me on the edge of my seat
Oh yes... another " Fantasy & Fiction Masterpiece" for gullible idiots🙄 I watched original documentaries ,- tons of film material ,- one of the best recorded incident in history "meticulous and accurate to the second"(and I read a lot about this incident). Can not be compared to Hollywood hypocrisy,- fiction movie [cough*] realistic masterpiece 🤣 [cough*]! I don’t know what’s worse, those very idiotic and Russophobic films about the Russian Atomic attack hysteria of the 50s // 60s, or these days..... Deja vu!? 🤣😆
@@nordwind8689 oh shut the fuck up you pretentious dick. The show is great and is very realistic. The Soviet Union was full of corruption and mass ignorance. To think otherwise is ignorant of the truth and nothing more
One thing I noticed about Chernobyl is that most of the time there is little to no music playing. But when music is played it comes off as eery and like something from a horror film
I really enjoyed Skarsgard's character's arc. Going from intimidating, no nonsense, do your job or I'll have you shot kind of guy, to a guy who mourns the life he could have lived. His performance and the way he carried himself was perfection. But the best thing about the show, in my opinion, was the lighting. Every scene, the lighting was just perfect. It made the whole thing so atmospheric, and grounded it in reality.
My favorite moment was when the lead scientist in charge of the cleanup is sitting in a hotel miles away with the soviet parties emissary and the scientist says oh you dont understand how bad it is. He says that both of them will be dead within 5 years for just being as close as they have been. I thought the realization of this was super powerful.
@@isengrim99 as much as a superhero fanboy i am, i have to agree with you, those men and women who cleaned that clusterfuck that is chernobyl, they are true heroes who risked their lives to stop even bigger catastrophy. they can truly rest in peace
Chernobyl is the best show I've ever seen, start to finish it is near flawless. Also check out the podcast, a lot of great insight into disaster and the creation of the show.
Wikipedia: "Nuclear and radiation accidents and incidents" Just for those smart persons in this comment section who think prypiat was nr1 and fukushima nr 2.
True story: I had a miscarriage like a week before I decided to watch this series. Weirdly, it helped me because I felt so bad and watching that, I was like ''Yeah, my situation isn't so bad. These people suffered for real. I'm still healthy and alive.'' This show is SO immersive, and it made my skin crawl more than 95% of horror movies.
The epilogue portion of the final episode was the only part of the show that made me cry. Where the doctors said the the woman cannot have children after she lost her child. And they were wrong. She is currently living in Ukraine with her teenage son. I'm a British gentleman, stiff upper lip and all that. That broke the dam.
So the miscarriage as a result of radiation was a part of fiction. She did have a miscairrage. And its well known to science to be unrelated to the radiation. The no touching policy was a thing in real life and in real life she never actually touched him. However it was to protect him. All of the particles on his skin was washed off before that. She would have to eat him to transfer radioactive particles to herself and her baby. It was to protect his now completely gone immune system. She later went on to have another child in real life.
For those who loved this miniseries, I recommend that you listen to the Chernobyl podcast with the creator Craig Mazin as well. It's absolutely brilliant.
I decided to watch an episode of this out of boredom one night and ended up binge watching the whole thing in a sitting. Absolutely mesmerizing and terrifying at the same time, and I can't remember a better acted and written series than this in recent times. It does such an excellent job of drawing you into the horror of what was playing out, largely in slow motion. Seeing what happened, it's like a nightmare that you can't wake up from. You see both the heroism of the responders and the absolute corruption of the bureaucrats that led to the disaster, and I think you get a real feel for how big of an impact this single event really had on not only Soviet history, but world history. This is what a TV series should aspire to be.
That story about the pregnant women and the firefighter is true. It’s talked about in Voices of Chernobyl book which is full of several different accounts from Chernobyl. Frankly, it’s actually more heart breaking in the book as it’s an actual transcription from a women who has literally lost everything.
i learned so much from Chernobyl the series, and it was very entertaining. it brought a level of suspense and film anxiety i have rarely experienced before. the enemy was literally invisible. it’s malevolence was so indirect, and even the cause of its animosity was really someone else’s doing. great, great show.
Chernobyl is freaking incredible. Knowing Craig and Johan's involvement in The Last of Us series has me beyond excited. I genuinely believe it could be the best show ever made.
The episode with the dogs was the weakest, and it was still amazing. And by "weakest" I mean like it was a 12 year old single malt scotch compared to 18 year old single malt scotch. The 12 is still great. The whole show is incredible.
@@liamtahaney713 Not, that's how you know the writer is a dumb fuck who transfers modern american realities to the 80s USSR (but maybe that was his initial plan). IT DIDN'T WORK THAT WAY! There were stupid errors done by the authorities during liquidation, but not of the kind shown in the series!
I agree. The podcasts are great and actually explain where in the show they held back from being too dark. Imagine that! Just search for it on RUclips: search for Chernobyl podcast. Each one is about 50-55 min long and there is one for each episode.
While I think it was A+ keep in mind critics grades depend on what the film is and what it is trying to accomplish. You can give Infinity War an A+ because for a superhero movie it is at the top of its genre. Chernobyl gets an A because it is nearly perfect but it resides in a realm of top tier film vis-a-vis historical dramas. An A+ biology paper shouldn't be compared with an A+ english essay.
I'm not sure what episode was the one that ended with the three going under water and then it just cuts to BLACK with the Geiger Counter sound playing but my GOD that shit is like something out of a horror movie. And now I hate the sound of a Geiger Counter.
Dear Chris, If you had the curiosity to know more about the socilism ideology in the eastern Europe, this show would recieve an A+ for sure. I'm a roumanian ( my country is right near Uckraine) and in the 80' the comunist party ruled here as well. I assure you that Cernobyl was nevertheless the result of the socialist mentality, which was based on 2 unoficial slogans : "Is not my fault" and " It's ok like that as well".
I recommend you watch Mr. Robot next. It is quite lengthy, as it is 3 seasons long. The fourth and final season comes out this fall, so catch up if you will. I enjoyed your review, as always.
Me/Viewer: "How does a review work?" Stuckmann: "What?" Me/Viewer: "It's a simple question." Stuckmann: "It's hardly a simple answer." Me/Viewer: "Of course. Presume I'm too stupid to understand. So I'll restate. Tell me how a review works or I'll have one of these soldiers throw you out of the helicopter!" Stuckmann: "You give your opinion on something that you read or saw and tell people what you liked and didn't like about it and give it a grade on a scale, usually alphabetical or numerical." (Deleted scene: Stuckmann: "If there is even one thing you didn't like about it, it is flawed no matter what.") Me/Viewer: "Good! I know how a review works. Now I don't need you."
Chris, have you ever seen HBO’s ‘Barry’. It’s a phenomenal and super bingeable black comedy starring Bill Hader. It’s powerful, hilarious, and filled with countless great performances. I highly recommend you check it out.
An amazing piece of television. Contrast this finessed excellence with the GOT season 8 car crash. Best scene when Stellan Skarsgard says to Jared Harris, ‘I’m an inconsequential man, but I stood next to people who aren’t”, subtle, unmelodramatic and elegiac. These guys literally saved the World.
Ashrut Sharma Not yet but planing to start this week😍 cause I was watching Stranger things, Big little lies and How to get away with murder. I was looking for any good shows and now since everyone is saying that Dark is awesome I am gonna watch it. Can you suggest me also some other shows? ☺️
@@remliqa I know we all did. Stop acting pretentious it makes you unlikable. You seem like one of them ppl who love to ruin the fun at any moment they see something.
@Rahul Mondal I would probably accidentally spoil it explaining it. It's German and i highly suggest watching it in German with subtitles. Here is the google summary of the show When two children go missing in a small German town, its sinful past is exposed along with the double lives and fractured relationships that exist among four families as they search for the kids. The mystery-drama series introduces an intricate puzzle filled with twists that includes a web of curious characters, all of whom have a connection to the town's troubled history -- whether they know it or not. The story includes supernatural elements that tie back to the same town in 1986. "Dark" represents the first German original series produced for Netflix.
I liked that they decided to explain about how the reactor worked at the last episode instead of the beginning. Because tension, mystery, and other stuffs.
Why is everyone requesting this in the comments? It's been out for a while so I wouldn't expect so many comments for a show that isn't that popular/known. Has a new season finished airing or something?
Samad Primo The second season has been out for a while. And yes it’s excellent, possibly better than Stranger Things, but probably didn’t receive much attention from American audiences because it’s in a foreign language.
Deckard nope totally not fake😅 - but yeah I absolutely loved it. The second season just came out and it was fantastic (better than the first imo). If you haven’t seen the second season watch it!!!🤓
Chris, you should check out 'The Last Panthers' too. Also directed by Johan Renck, very similar in tone & soundtrack, also a single season and also absolutely brilliant. Immersive, dark and complex. Recommended.
I watched Chernobyl while I was a Peace Corps volunteer living in a Soviet apartment building in Armenia. I remember walking out the door after watching an episode and saw the paint on the walls was the same. Incredible attention to detail. Loved it, and still love it.
Great review! Stuckman... You are seriously my favorite movie reviewer ANYWHERE and I just figured out why! There is a nostalgia to your look and style... I’m not sure this is intentional, but you remind me of MTV’s Chris Connelly back in the day. You’re videos are hip (but not hipsterish) and just generally cool. Plus, your grasp on filmmaking adds depth to your approach - Always excited to see your reviews, sir! Well done!
For me this series is an A+, it struck me in every episode, the direction, the acting, the cinematography, the script... everything is so well put and I’m still at awe how perfect it felt. It’s so powerful that I don’t know if I could watch it again, after everything you went through with the characters and having he burden of knowledge, especially during the first episode... this is an intense ride!
You know what, I thought that the second season was not going to be as good as the first one, but ended up exceeding it in quality. Such a wonderful and original show.
Why is everyone requesting this in the comments? It's been out for a while so I wouldn't expect so many comments for a show that isn't that popular/known. Has a new season finished airing or something?
Hands down, one of my favourite series. It’s dark, gritty and chilling. Scary how many mistakes were made because of pride, but also the shear number of people willing to sacrifice themselves. Really incredible writing, acting and filming.
Do DARK on Netflix next! It has really a really engaging story with complex time travel paradoxes but is always driven by character actions. It's f**king amazing!
I was planning on watching this mini series, but I didn't have the opportunity yet. As soon as Chris said 'spoiler alert' I clicked away and watched the whole series in one sitting. Glad I did, it's an amazing series that gives the viewer an idea of what went wrong and how to prevent it in the future. During the credits I was literaly tearing up, so sad and yet so beautiful
This show and GOOD OMENS are my favorites of 2019 so far, at least mini series wise. So good, I can't get them out of my system. Pls review Good omens too Chris 😅
Its an A+..
The chemistry between skarsgard and haris is an A+ in itself.
"The chemistry between" Radiation-pun intended?

I agree. The podcasts are great and actually explain where in the show they held back from being too dark. Imagine that! Just search for it on RUclips: search for Chernobyl podcast. Each one is about 50-55 min long and there is one for each episode.
@@pucs82 remembers what radiation sickness actually does
Yep they were right to turn down the darkness
Have you seen Dark? It's on Netflix and it's amazing, you should check it out.
I was just about the say this. Phenomenal show
Please watch dark. Surefire A+
Dubbed English over foreign films is horrible. It's like watching old kung fu movies. Just caption the damn thing and use the original language.
This! Dark is incredible
William Steyert Yeah, I watched Dark with subtitles. The English dub was pretty bad.
Fucking right. Late but great as always good work stuck
Did chris say "nu-cu-lar" ? F-
I still value our one sided friendship.👍
came to make the same comment. driving me nuts.
No A+ from a dude who generally gives good grades to Marvel movies... really ?
Different movies set out to accomplish different things.
While I think it was A+ keep in mind critics grades depend on what the film is and what it is trying to accomplish. You can give Infinity War an A+ because for a superhero movie it is at the top of its genre. Chernobyl gets an A because it is nearly perfect but it resides in a realm of top tier film vis-a-vis historical dramas. An A+ biology paper shouldn't be compared with an A+ english essay.
LOL
Different genres, bro.
@@AnjanaBSubba what's that have to do with anything, don't we have any good dramas ?
Chris you need to watch Mindhunter immediately... David fincher produces it and it’s absolutely amazing
+
Can't wait for S2!
You know he won't read this!
Nah its ok, certainly not amazing
100% agreed, it's fantastic!
I'm not sure what episode was the one that ended with the three going under water and then it just cuts to BLACK with the Geiger Counter sound playing but my GOD that shit is like something out of a horror movie. And now I hate the sound of a Geiger Counter.
Episode 2! 😨
2?
They all lived IRL, two even alive today.
fcukugimmeausername Yeah saw that too! How defuq is that possible???
@@fcukugimmeausername I can not believe this. Really?
Dear Chris,
If you had the curiosity to know more about the socilism ideology in the eastern Europe, this show would recieve an A+ for sure.
I'm a roumanian ( my country is right near Uckraine) and in the 80' the comunist party ruled here as well.
I assure you that Cernobyl was nevertheless the result of the socialist mentality, which was based on 2 unoficial slogans : "Is not my fault" and " It's ok like that as well".
"For the interest of the party"
Socialism and communism is shit
"It's ok like that as well" so basically, "this is fine."
@@Sahuagin more like "it's bad but it's alright anyway". They even say it in the show, they say "not great, not terrible".
@@virambharvad8059 so is Capitalism.
Review "dark" from netflix please.
Bump!
Gotta watch Dark, Stuckmann will get Stuckmannized over it.
Read this comment yesterday, watched all the episodes today. Amazing series!
I don't know if I want to watch people's skin slowly peel off as their organs liquify and you see people vomit up thier liquified internal organs
@@thing1thing2themediamaniac43 dark isn't about that.
He needs to watch teotfw
You should watch Dark (Netflix), it's great!
Mindblowing
I agree with you . It's way better than stranger things .
It must be really great when comment section of this video full of "You Should watch Dark Netflix"...
@@captivecactus you mean brain exploded
Dark is of my favourite shows ever. Such a masterpiece.
Chris Stuckmann: I give Chernobyl an A.
though I once would fear the cost of truth, now I only ask.......what is the cost of lies?
Can u review the German series DARK on Netflix. It's really good
Yup.
I recommend you watch Mr. Robot next. It is quite lengthy, as it is 3 seasons long. The fourth and final season comes out this fall, so catch up if you will. I enjoyed your review, as always.
Everyone's talking about DARK! we really wanna know how u feel about both the seasons!!!
Me/Viewer: "How does a review work?"
Stuckmann: "What?"
Me/Viewer: "It's a simple question."
Stuckmann: "It's hardly a simple answer."
Me/Viewer: "Of course. Presume I'm too stupid to understand. So I'll restate. Tell me how a review works or I'll have one of these soldiers throw you out of the helicopter!"
Stuckmann: "You give your opinion on something that you read or saw and tell people what you liked and didn't like about it and give it a grade on a scale, usually alphabetical or numerical." (Deleted scene: Stuckmann: "If there is even one thing you didn't like about it, it is flawed no matter what.")
Me/Viewer: "Good! I know how a review works. Now I don't need you."
A rarest of the rare 10/10 Tv Series, Chernobyl is a lesson that all those who are in power are not necessarily worthy of it
Chris, have you ever seen HBO’s ‘Barry’. It’s a phenomenal and super bingeable black comedy starring Bill Hader. It’s powerful, hilarious, and filled with countless great performances. I highly recommend you check it out.
It should go down as one of the greatest show of all time
I can’t wait for season 3.
Oh Hell Yes! He should watch 'Barry'. 'Barry' is just outstanding!
Checking this out after I finish The show on Netflix called Dark!!!!!
An amazing piece of television. Contrast this finessed excellence with the GOT season 8 car crash. Best scene when Stellan Skarsgard says to Jared Harris, ‘I’m an inconsequential man, but I stood next to people who aren’t”, subtle, unmelodramatic and elegiac. These guys literally saved the World.
The People: "Craig Mazin?!, the guy of The Hang Over?, are you serious?"
Craig Mazin: "Hold my radioactive beer".
vodka
👀👀
you mean radant lager it good stuff
Chris, Please watch DARK and Fargo. I don't even care if you review these but just watch them!
Fargo 💪💪💪💪
Fantastic shows for sure.
Ashrut Sharma Also, Homeland, Prison Break and Ozark. They are awesome!
@@Sara2016a Have you seen the 2 shows that I mentioned?
Ashrut Sharma Not yet but planing to start this week😍 cause I was watching Stranger things, Big little lies and How to get away with murder. I was looking for any good shows and now since everyone is saying that Dark is awesome I am gonna watch it. Can you suggest me also some other shows? ☺️
He grew up with radiation
lol he'd be dead if he did
We all grew up with radiation , kids. Sun rays for example are forms of radiation.
@@remliqa I know we all did. Stop acting pretentious it makes you unlikable. You seem like one of them ppl who love to ruin the fun at any moment they see something.
@@egghead4624
Why bother making public comment if you can't stand people retorting to them ?
@@remliqa who said I expected a response
it is 100% an A+. how dare you sir
This is definitely one of the best tv shows ever made
Why haven't you watched DARK SEASONS 1 & 2 please Chris review it...!!!
DARKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!
If you don't check out Dark on Netflix you are doing yourself a major disservice
Amen
i watched Dark last week and was thoroughly disappointed. so many things about that show that are questionable or annoying.
@Rahul Mondal I would probably accidentally spoil it explaining it. It's German and i highly suggest watching it in German with subtitles.
Here is the google summary of the show
When two children go missing in a small German town, its sinful past is exposed along with the double lives and fractured relationships that exist among four families as they search for the kids. The mystery-drama series introduces an intricate puzzle filled with twists that includes a web of curious characters, all of whom have a connection to the town's troubled history -- whether they know it or not. The story includes supernatural elements that tie back to the same town in 1986. "Dark" represents the first German original series produced for Netflix.
@Rahul Mondal you won't regret it!
I love watching your movie reviews! I'm thinking of incorporating a similar room setup in my reviews. Thank you for your videos!
I liked that they decided to explain about how the reactor worked at the last episode instead of the beginning. Because tension, mystery, and other stuffs.
Please watch the show DARK - it's honestly beautifully created, suspenseful and has great acting! Honestly think you would really enjoy it!
Stole my words, sis
Why is everyone requesting this in the comments? It's been out for a while so I wouldn't expect so many comments for a show that isn't that popular/known. Has a new season finished airing or something?
Samad Primo The second season has been out for a while. And yes it’s excellent, possibly better than Stranger Things, but probably didn’t receive much attention from American audiences because it’s in a foreign language.
Are these fake accounts? Why are these all popping up? The show isn’t that good.
Deckard nope totally not fake😅 - but yeah I absolutely loved it. The second season just came out and it was fantastic (better than the first imo). If you haven’t seen the second season watch it!!!🤓
You should review DARK, it's amazing
The most chilling lines in the show: "Do you taste metal? "
Boris had amazing character development
"I wait for people to tell me Game of Thrones is good, and then I watch it."
In retrospect, he probably should have waited a little longer...
To be fair most of GoT was good. It was only during the last few episodes it became clear it was very rushed.
No need, it's finished now, it was pretty great
Review Dark from Netflix!! 👍🏻
Chris, you should check out 'The Last Panthers' too. Also directed by Johan Renck, very similar in tone & soundtrack, also a single season and also absolutely brilliant. Immersive, dark and complex. Recommended.
I watched Chernobyl while I was a Peace Corps volunteer living in a Soviet apartment building in Armenia. I remember walking out the door after watching an episode and saw the paint on the walls was the same. Incredible attention to detail. Loved it, and still love it.
You should review and/or watch The Terror. Another Jared Harris masterpiece.
I agree so much !!
Yes! So so good!
Now he needs to watch DARK on Netflix
He doesn't 'need' to do anything.
Michael Kostis... I’m sorry but DARK is way too boring!
Digital Dazzle Photography shut up simple minded human
I love how DARK is the internets sleeper hit obsession this summer.
Great review! Stuckman... You are seriously my favorite movie reviewer ANYWHERE and I just figured out why! There is a nostalgia to your look and style... I’m not sure this is intentional, but you remind me of MTV’s Chris Connelly back in the day. You’re videos are hip (but not hipsterish) and just generally cool. Plus, your grasp on filmmaking adds depth to your approach - Always excited to see your reviews, sir! Well done!
For me this series is an A+, it struck me in every episode, the direction, the acting, the cinematography, the script... everything is so well put and I’m still at awe how perfect it felt. It’s so powerful that I don’t know if I could watch it again, after everything you went through with the characters and having he burden of knowledge, especially during the first episode... this is an intense ride!
Please watch DARK. Its legitimately better than any show of the last few years, including stranger things.
Red Yayhole agreed mind blown away.
Yes please!
You know what,
I thought that the second season was not going to be as good as the first one, but ended up exceeding it in quality. Such a wonderful and original show.
A few episodes left in the 2nd season. Fantastic show!
Why is everyone requesting this in the comments? It's been out for a while so I wouldn't expect so many comments for a show that isn't that popular/known. Has a new season finished airing or something?
Do you want to watch a great show?
Absolutely recommend Dark. Incredible show.
Hands down, one of my favourite series. It’s dark, gritty and chilling. Scary how many mistakes were made because of pride, but also the shear number of people willing to sacrifice themselves. Really incredible writing, acting and filming.
I got the Blu-Ray set for Christmas, and I just finished episode 1.
It really unsettled me... but in the best way possible.
Here are two shows I would love to hear your thoughts on: Mr Robot and Westworld
Do DARK on Netflix next! It has really a really engaging story with complex time travel paradoxes but is always driven by character actions. It's f**king amazing!
@Raymond Morales It's not like we don't discover in the first 2 episodes there's time travel...
@Raymond Morales the story goes so beyond that I don't it's going to take away anything from the experience
Review Dark , the german series from Netflix
This.
hell yes. the best series i’ve ever watched
Wacthed this until the spoiler warning yesterday before watching it, now im coming back after watching it, and i gotta say, its a masterpiece
You should watch the mini series sharp objects! I think you'd like it
YES! Sharp Objects was fucking incredible. That ending... Chills.
YES so good
@@shill1444 there's something that didn't quite make sense to me. Where did 'the killer' get enough teeth to cover that floor? 🤔
Joseph Garcia yes!
Best show I've seen last year!
36 seconds ago, Chris uploaded his Chernobyl review.
This man is delusional.
@@ash05 take him to the infirmary
This show evoked intense emotion from me. They did an incredible job with that aspect alone.
Please review the Netflix series DARK. It's awesome time travel sci fi
Hey Chris! Please review Netflix's DARK. Thanks
Thumb ups if you want Chris to review, German's original series, DARK!
Great show!!! I have two episodes left..
It's one of the best tv series I've ever seen!
its really good
I was planning on watching this mini series, but I didn't have the opportunity yet. As soon as Chris said 'spoiler alert' I clicked away and watched the whole series in one sitting. Glad I did, it's an amazing series that gives the viewer an idea of what went wrong and how to prevent it in the future. During the credits I was literaly tearing up, so sad and yet so beautiful
This is one of the best things I’ve seen in years. I haven’t watched in almost two months but it’s haunted me ever since.
HBO made up for that last season of Game of Thrones with Chernobyl! Awesome show
Well the Chernobly writers had source material till the last episode.
I remember when I was probably 5 we couldn't pick mushrooms in the forrest in Germany bc of Chernobyl. I'm 30. So it's not been that long.
This show and GOOD OMENS are my favorites of 2019 so far, at least mini series wise. So good, I can't get them out of my system. Pls review Good omens too Chris 😅
I haven’t watched your channel in 4 years. Wow you hit a 1 mill subscribers. Awesome stuff Chris.
