HBO - Chernobyl anyone?

We have a Pip sighting. Pip from game of thrones.

Shootin cows like a boss pip
 
Yeah, not sure I would’ve been able to participate in puppy brigade. Good grief.
 
This has showed zero letdown. And, the last episode looks great too.

Then again, it's only 5 episodes and not seasons. Still, it's extremely well done.
 
Keep going...
I can’t help myself.

I’m a pretty desensitized person when it comes to blood, gore, whatever. This is something else. The disregard for human life is something that’s hard to swallow.

I feel sick and dejected after every episode.
 
Just caught the 3rd ep since I was out of pocket wasting all of my money in Disney last week, but the FX that they did with the bodies was disgustingly good. If I was a hospital worker, I'd be roaming the rooms in a bubble.

Speaking of short docudrama type of shows, anyone see the ebola one on NatGeo? I've been seeing commercials for it, and understand it won't be as graphic, but watching this makes it a bit more intriguing
 
Love this show. I had to skip through the dog killing though. I can't handle dogs getting hurt, even in movies/shows.
 
Girlfriend of a buddy of mine stopped watching at episode three because she said it was too depressing.

It's a fucking good thing she didn't see episode four.

"She would have died but her baby absorbed the radiation."
 
I haven't watched yet but I'm fascinated by the event and how scary radiation is.

I'll end up watching it once all of the episodes are out. As good as it sounds, I wish TV shows had the guts to be truly authentic and have it in Russian with subtitles. Yes, I know it's harder to follow but for a show getting praised for accuracy, I wish they would have went all in.
 
Superb and the attention to detail is amazing but I dont think I have watched anything this depressing since Threads.

Gotta love all these psychos who don't give a shit about human suffering but "ahhh those poor puppies". Fuck them dogs. tt had to be done
 
Episode 4 didn't lose any quality, but to me it did feel a little slower, less tension, except at the end on the roof. The pet scenes were sad, but after episode 3 it seemed like a respite to me, that hospital is one of the most brutal things I've seen on film or television. Such a shame there's only one episode left.
 
Everyone remember the first episode when they told that guy to go check the reactor reactor from the roof and he refused, but then went? That was where the 90 second workers were cleaning up. The dude that went on the roof in the first episode had an instant death sentence.

well thats just because we are already past the "immediatly after explosion" part and are in the "long war" part like the scientist said.

can only draw that much stuff from real life event

That part at the beginning when the reactor went up sent chills up my spine. Only other show to do that was Jericho where at the end of the 3rd episode they see IBCMs being launched.

Ugh
 
Lots of feels in this episode. Of course, my cat jumped into my lap just prior to the animal scenes. :(
