HBO - Chernobyl anyone?

[Thunderchild]

First episode was pretty intense.

Radiation poisoning looks painful as fuck.

The people watching from town with the nuclear fallout ash floating down on them was a striking image.

The actor who played Maester Lewin from GoT was excellent in his little part, even though he made a critical error.

 

[Spoken]

oh shit. It's out? Gonna watch that tomorrow. Looks good!

 

[HARRISON_3]

Just started watching...

 

[HelloJapan]

SO pumped for this series. Best trailer I've seen in a while. I plan on waiting until all 5 episodes are done, then binge watching it.

Here's the trailer, if anyone hasn't seen it yet.



UPDATE: I did wait until all 5 episodes were done, and it was hard as fuck to avoid spoilers. So, just finished binge watching them-amazing. I was hoping it would live up to the trailer, and imo, it did. Jared Harris deserves an award.

 

[DaleBoca]

I’ll check it out. Being meaning to tune in.

 

[Jesus X]

reminds me of Hisashi Ouchi the guy who died of radiation poisoning that was brutal he was basically skinned/burned alive by the radiation and melted.

I can't even post the story because of the graphic pics worst way to die.

 

[closequarters]

Thanks for the heads up. Trailer looks good. Gonna check it out now!

 

[D3THRONED]

episode 1 was very solid. 8/10

 

[HARRISON_3]

Wow.

Sucks you in.

Excited for the next episode.

 

[rj144]

It's very good.

Anyone here actually remember when it happened in real life?

 

[Serenity Now]

Thanks for reminding me brah

Radiation poisoning is no joke.

 

[Tone C]

It's very good.

Yea, radioactive sheep in Wales..

I was 14 then. Big deal to us Brits with the radiation etc . My wife remembers the French authorities telling their population that all was fine as it wouldn't cross the border into France...

 

[rj144]

You also, still to this day, don't want to stand next to this for that long:

 

[TheOneAboveAll3]

It's very good.

Yeah

 

[TheOneAboveAll3]

Radiation poisoning is no joke.

I am sure pricks would still be able to use it as a joke.

I grew up in Kiev, I was about 60 miles away as it happened. Sadly some of the first memories of my life. Just seeing people understand that life itself changed as we knew it.
Just going outside... we weren’t sure if we could or couldn’t.
Everyone knew a friend of a friend that got sick. It was a really helpless feeling just being a regular Kiev resident at the time.
In retrospect, hey I guess me and my family made it, my elders died from non related causes, but it’s a big part of my life. Normally, nobody here in Denver, CO could give a single shit about some disaster in the former USSR, but it was so bad everyone has heard of Chernobyl.
So yeah, totally watching right now, have been waiting to ever since I saw the trailer

 

[SamSchmidt]

Just watched it.

"There was no explosion! The core is still there!"

What a dipshit

The misinformation was insane. Families were whispering to each other, and basically everyone knew and no official arrangements were made to evacuate. Kiev was a 5 million people city, and most of us knew that something horrific happened, and also knew that nobody would be helping us to evacuate.
And time would eventually prove them strangely mostly right, as close as we were, the vast majority of people did survive, but at the moment nobody knew how it would turn out.
Btw, cool special, it’s probably hard to appreciate for native English speakers, but a lot of the phrases that sound funny, like the wording is off, are direct translations for common phrases that we used in the USSR at the time, really interesting to hear them in English

I saw this trailer a while back on YouTube. I assumed it was a movie!

I'll probably watch.

Ironically I just booked my tour of Chernobyl for October so... Will be interesting.
