This series is phenomenal but be prepared to get angrier at the officials lol. It gets pretty grim, but this is honestly some of the best television I've seen. I can't WAIT for this energy for the TLOU.
Oh man im already losing my shit at these officials haha
Im loving Chernobyl so far and can only imagine whats to come 😬
And yes im frothing at the mouth for TLOU im so damn excited for it to come out! so close! 🥳
One of the most chilling lines...."Do you taste metal?" They were doomed at that moment
I had a good friend in grad school who had been a doctor in Minsk when this happened. He died young from a rare form of thyroid cancer that was not so rare among people near Chernobyl. Minsk was in the path of the radioactive cloud. He was killed by this, leaving a wife and child. He was one of the nicest people I had ever met, dead way before his time because of incompetence.
Sorry for the loss of your friend! And thank you for sharing that story.
Chernobyl was such a horrific disaster.
😣
You are in for a unsettling yet beautiful ride! I'm glad new folks are hearing about Chernobyl thanks to The Last of Us, imagine being a fan of this director because of this mind-blowing mini series and then finding out he is making a TV series of my most loved video game. I cannot be more excited! Also the music score for Chernobyl is haunting as hell, it perfectly gives you that horrifying sensation of being hunted by the invisible killer that is the radiation. Anyways, awesome reaction to 1x01 !! You'll definitely deserve more subs.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed! 😁
Yeah I'm suprised I have taken so long to watch this mini series tbh.
I always knew about it and knew it was something special but for some reason never took the dive until now! And like you said since The Last Of Us is coming out I thought now would be the perfect time to watch this masterpiece!
What wasn't shown in this series was that although the state knew about the disaster, public celebrations of May 1st were allowed to continue in nearby cities when all this radioactive material was in the air.
You deserve way more subscribers than you have, binge watched your House of Dragon which was brilliant, Chernobyl is heart breaking and infuriating at the same time. All actors in this series are superb as is every episode. The attitude of the officials remind me of Titanic when they didn't put enough life boats onboard because it was 'unsinkable,' with Chernobyl they didn't prepare for a disaster because it wouldn't happen!
Thank you Sandra! I'm glad you enjoyed the House of the Dragon reactions and I truly appreciate you and your comment.
Yeah I wont lie, I was pissed off the entire episode. I was internally and physically screaming at some of these political officials! I guess the disaster wasn't just the meltdown but also to do with alot of the individuals involved with it aswell! Such a great show so far.
I remember this as if it was yesterday. Sweden was the first outsiders who noticed that something was wrong. And the panic that occured here is unbelievable.
The railroad bridge scene, the bridge was a pedestrian bridge standing 25 feet above railroad tracks. That bridge became known as the "Bridge of Death" because every person on that bridge that night, every man, woman, and child, about 40 of them, was dead within a month.
13:22 I've seen this series several times, and this shot of the kids playing in the fallout brings the tears. We only see what happens to the firefighter, but knowing the kids will face a similar fate (smh) its horrible.
It really is!
And most likely symptoms will emerge years down the line after the disaster.
Birth defects, cancer you name it =(
Its horrible!
It’s worth the wait. I watch it a couple of times a year-they pull you right into the 80s exactly as I remember it. A terrifying moment in
a century full of terrible moments. Brilliant writing, acting, directing.
I think they exaggerated how quickly some of the effects to exposure would show up, at least for some of the people, but there's no doubt some of them received massive doses. Also, it's getting the point across that this is a super dangerous situation.
9:12 That Black piece is Graphite. It is supposed to be inside the core so imagine how radioactive that is.
What?!? Less than 200 subscribers?! How is that possible 😮
Well, you have one more in me! Great reaction to a phenomenal show!
Edit: I can feel your emotion and frustration....if it makes you feel any better, I fully ugly cried from start to finish with this series. I was an absolute wreck.
Hey Amanda!
I love editing and doing all these reactions for everyone, so I'm glad you enjoyed the reaction aswell 😁👌
This show is one hell of an experience thats for sure haha.
Anyway thank you so much and welcome to the fam! ⚡⚡⚡
I’m hitting the Subscribe button! You are a fantastic reactor and you deserve a much bigger audience! Thanks for tackling Chernobyl.
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Yeah, this show is great so far, so horrifying but so well done.
I'm glad to have chosen this as my next reaction series and I'm glad you are enjoying it aswell. =D
From your comments, I think you will be very interested in all the episodes. I don’t watch the other shows you have reacted to, but I have subscribed and hope to see more in the future. Good luck with your channel!
Thank you Tracy!
Hope you enjoy the Chernobyl reactions to come and hopefully I'll be reacting to other shows you enjoy aswell 😁
I remember when this happened...it was truly horrific and scary. What I want you to remember as you watch this is that No one one Earth had ever dealt with this before. Even the people in charge didn't know what to do/how bad it was. That crap happens when humans think they can control something like nuclear energy. There is obviously some very VERY hard to deal with stuff coming up. I'm not sure you can get prepared for it. But just to reiterate....no one, especially the general public, knew the extent of the dangers of exposure or the long lasting effects. Just a few scientists knew and as you can see, they weren't listened to.(not to be rude, but mostly because of the politics where this took place). FYI: radiation pretty much melts you from the inside out....like, it destroys you at a cellular level. This show is absolutely stunning!!!
Oh mate this is a good one! Glad you are doing this one!
I've been meaning to do this one for a while now. I'm excited to have finally set off on this grim journey haha.
Wow! That was heavy but what a great episode. Really looking forward to the next one! Nice choice of series and another wicked reaction vid 😁👌
Yeah that was very heavy, it was hard to watch at some points aswell. Those guys suffered what will be some of the worst deaths imaginable. Fantastic writing and direction.
Glad you enjoyed the reaction though! 😁
@@boltzzs True. I feel for them and hope that doesn't happen again! Yeah man, your delivery is on point 😁👌
I just found your channel. I enjoyed your reaction. Enjoy the series.
Thank you Chris, Its gonna be one hell of a journey! What a grim episode 😱😰
The so-called "911 call" immediately following the explosion is the REAL recording.
15:19 Welcome to the reality of the Soviet Union!
The actual accident is terrible but your going to find that the most horrible aspect is the officials casual indefference and denial of reality of what's going on.
I’ll tell you right now this is a very dark show. How dark? Night vision googles can’t help out. And this is worse than a horror movie; in that you can at least see the monster. In this, there are multiple hidden monsters.
okay I've seen enough. subscribed😉.
Thank you Joanne!
Glad you enjoyed and glad to have you on this journey with all of us! 😁👌
I was alive at the time and remember all the experts on TV telling us that there was no way a reactor designed that way could explode. On paper it was considered impossible. That is why engineers and physicist's protest so fiercely. According to everything they know, it can't be true.
I live in Norway, so our view was NATO's view, right? I lived in an area that due to geographical features and weather patterns got some of the heaviest concentration of fallout outside of the disaster area, even higher values than Poland, concentrated over a few square kilometers.
9:43 Radiation can burn also. That is Radiation burn after picking up that Graphite piece.
Here for Chernobyl!! Buckle up buttercup!
Welcome!
Hope you enjoy the Chernobyl reactions! It's haunting so far and I've got a ways to go.
😬😰😭
I always find the time when it happened to be such an interesting thing. 1:23:45...Like it all happened in an inevitable way, with nothing that could change it, the same way as those 5 Digits are set in this way.
Also...looking directly into the fire is basically looking through the gates of Hell in a way.
I experienced this disaster here in the UK at that time.
"we need mechanics, electrician's we need bodies" yeah, you need bodies alright.
For the record Dyatlov wasn't a prick IRL, he was actually a decent guy, this show just dramatizes it A LOT
Haha forreal! 😭
R.I.P this is so damn tragic.
Yeah I think once I finish this show I'll have a look at the differences in the show and the true story. Absolutely horrifying though, these men really risked everything!
@@boltzzs that’s a really good idea actually, I always find most people are convinced this isn’t dramatised. One thing to know is that the thick black smoke shown is also dramatised, in real life it was far less, and it was a sickly gray colour, you can easily find real footage on RUclips, just search “Chernobyl helicopter footage”, also a fun fact the phone call to the fire department is 100% real, you can also find it on RUclips.
I didn't know Maester Luwin from Game of Thrones was in this!
This is an awesome miniseries. That guy claiming nothing was wrong vomiting then passing out was poetic, I can't stand that guy.
6:59 he think is NATO (because 1986 still cold war)
nah, he knows it's KGB and other gov forces
This a really good series...one of the best ever made...but the producers did get some things wrong. Some things were changed intentionally for the purposes of storytelling, and the makers of the series put in a series of notes at the end of the last episode of the series explaining some of them. However, I do recommend you check out the History vs Hollywood article on Chernobyl when you are done watching the whole series, so you can find out about the other things that the producers got wrong that they do not admit to. Definitely wait until you are done with the series so you do not spoil anything for yourself. ✌💯
I will definitely have a look at that once I finish this Mini series.
They actually do admit to it. Listen to the official podcasts accompanying each episode, they are available on YT. Mazin goes into great detail as to how and why he changed or omitted things. Some things were done because of time constraints, others because TV is a visual medium and you have to somehow get across to the viewing audience what is going on. For example, the thick black billowing smoke you see coming from the reactor was in reality only a light fog. But how do you convey to the audience that, despite that you cannot see much of anything, really bad stuff is pouring out of that crater? By using the thick black smoke column.
@@swokatsamsiyu3590 They do explain quite a bit in the podcasts...but they do not admit to everything they changed. Also, the podcasts do take some time to listen to, whereas the History vs Hollywood article is pretty quick and easy to read.💯
I don't think that "officials" don't believe that things are bad--they KNOW it's bad. But this was the USSR--nothing was ALLOWED to be bad if it's under the control of the State. This happened just before I graduated college and headed to Europe for two months. I cannot recall any of this--some things were still kept quiet. So damn scary.
Slow down. There is no need to talk as fast as possible. I haven't even got to the show and I am moving on. Best of luck to you.
