      @FabledGentleman 5 лет назад +35

      Which it was already after episode 2. Now, i love the show, but concluding best of all time before it's all said and done, is kind of dumb. This show is indeed really well made, and quite realistic, has superb acting, and i thought episode 2 was a 10. But, it's quite normal for a "underdog" show to receive a lot of love, and especially when it releases in the midst of the dumpster fire which was season 8 of GoT. Some people are voting Chernobyl high as a middle finger to GoT. It's the small low budget show up against the mammoth.
      Chernobyl needs to really show off some serious skills in the last episode to be consider better than Band of Brothers, which is without a doubt the best tv mini series ever made. If we bring in seasonal shows as well. Is Chernobyl really better than The Sopranos, Deadwood, Breaking Bad and The Wire? No. But it is indeed a great show so far.

      @Wilantonjakov 5 лет назад +5

      @@DrRhyhm You're right, nothing major. I actually think that Toptunov looked like a walking corpse, and even more so, Ignatenko (firefighter.) They didn't show Akimov, but apparently he was the worst, with half his face melted away. However, there were a few things, most notably the way the Soviets acted was not very believable whatsoever.
      First of all, in the first episode, that radiation burn from the firefighter picking up graphite- wouldn't happen that quickly. It would start to eat away at his skin 12 hours - 2 days later. Just a little nitpick. Also a nitpick is that there was no thick black smoke above the plant after the explosion.
      The big one (which was intended) was the fabrication of Emily Watson's character, Khomyuk (I think that's how it's spelled?) Historically, she didn't exist. She was made to represent the many scientists that helped Legasov.
      The one I have the most problem is the portrayal of the Soviets themselves. In Episode 2, the Central Committee member Boris Shcherbina threatens to have Legasov shot if he doesn’t tell him how a nuclear reactor works. There are a lot of people throughout the series who appear to act out of fear of being shot. This is inaccurate: summary executions, or even delayed executions on orders of a single apparatchik, were not a feature of Soviet life after the nineteen-thirties. By and large, Soviet people did what they were told without being threatened with guns or any punishment. In the episode where the miners are recruited, it is made out like the Miners actually had more power, socially, than the 'minister for coal'. The soviets were cruel and calculated but they never acted like fools. The 'minister for coal' was literally a pushover. In reality, every Soviet minister would have their way or there would be consequences.
      More often however, we are supposed to believe that the three men who were put on trial-and especially one of them, a particularly unattractive villain by the name of Anatoly Dyatlov-are to blame. We see him strong-arming younger, better men into actions that will ultimately lead to catastrophe. All because, it seems, he wants a promotion. But in reality it wasn’t the carrot of a single promotion, or even several promotions, and it wasn’t one nasty and abusive boss. It was the system, made up primarily of pliant men and women, that cut its own corners, ignored its own precautions, and ultimately blew up its own nuclear reactor for no good reason except that this was how things were done. The viewer is invited to fantasize that, if not for Dyatlov, the better men would have done the right thing and the fatal flaw in the reactor, and the system itself, might have remained latent. This is a lie.
      I loved the show, but there were definitely historical inaccuracies and these are some of them. Again, nothing major, but notable nonetheless.
