Just finished the series and I will say it was very well made and quite enjoyable. Although, I still don't know how I feel about the whole thing being done in English. While I'm glad I didn't have to read the whole thing, it just seemed slightly inauthentic to have Boris, Anatoly, and Viktor yelling at eachother in British accents while reading and writing in a cryllic Russain alphabet. I've been on a Narcos kick recently, and the Spanish makes the show seem all the more real.

Yeah, he really was trying to avoid a Boris and Natasha thing.

Russian state TV has made it's own Chernobyl drama,
but unlike the HBO series, which has transfixed viewers around the world, this version will claim that a CIA spy was present for the worst nuclear accident in history.

Brilliant TV series and no surprise that, even now, the Russians still won't accept the full truth.....

First five to ten minutes of episode 5 was brilliant. The angry man carrying a black breifcase.
Bravo to HBO. Dont fuck up that service, AT&T, but supposedly they're doing it as I type. They've already fired some long term execs at HBO.

I guess when you consider the alternatives, English speaking actors using fake Russian accents (remember Sean Connery & Tim Curry in "Hunt For Red October"?) or Russian actors speaking Russian with subs (also annoying) this probably makes more sense. About a year ago Netflix did a movie called "The Death of Stalin". It also had an all English speaking cast that IIRC spoke in their native accents. Steve Buscemi played Nikita Kruschev. Was a little weird but the subject matter was a bit lighter than Chernobyl so it worked.
I also thought that while the series did a good job of pointing out the stupidity of the Soviet government, it made sure to separate them from the Soviet people, many of whom gave up a hell of a lot to keep this thing from deteriorating into an apocalyptic event.The Sheriff is near!

Agreed, it’s depressing and poetic, very Russian. Every story blends together and seems to run on. I like it, but it’s not as good as I was hoping. It does give you a real feel for the collective nature of socialism. Remarkably brave and stubborn mindset they had.
Way different than how we grew up.crab in my shoe mouth

Glad I just found out about this show a few days ago. Watched it all in one weekend. Mind blown.

Does this show get any good? Having a hard time with British-sound accents playing former USSR guys.
