That show is so hard to watch from the standpoint of someone who understands what every exposure is doing to people and the awful deaths that are inevitable. Watching the firefighter pick-up a piece of the reactor was horrifying in a way so little horror is.

Netflix’s Chernobyl is by people who realized this and kinda conveyed the message.

They conveyed it really well, I had an almost constant heavy feeling while watching—like a permanent underwater scene.

It’s the greaat sound design in the show. Things like the geiger counter clicking furiously as the flashlights go out. It makes for great drama.

The scene in episode 1 where they looked into the exposed reactor core was amazing

You mean HBO’s Chernobyl?
The moment they look over the railing into the very mouth of God itself gives me chills. The sound of the nuclear fire blasting and spewing out all the smoke and radiation.
