Chernobyl | Official Trailer for the HBO Miniseries (HBO's got another one)

[intruder]

Seems to be some controversy with whether or not those divers survived. Some have them dying a week later while some have 2 of them still alive to this day. Gonna be interesting to see which way the show goes since they have the artistic license to do what they want according to how they want to tell the story. I just don't see how they could wade through all of the shyt and not had bit the (atom) bullet soon after. Choppers out here falling apart in the sky flying over the smoke. nikkas catchin' forced chemo wreck miles and miles away from debris and shyt. But they survived being all up in it like that?

One thing I will say is it's glad to see some good writing again . Even though you already know what happens, how they're getting there has been exceptional so far.

Certain things have since been clarified.

• A team of fire fighters had since gone in and drained most of the water before the 3 volunteers went in for their mission
• Another team came right up to the water and measured the level of radiation in the water before they even looked for the volunteers and after the firefighters drained it
• By the time the 3 volunteers went in the water was barely knee high so technically they didnt have to "swim" through radioactive water

Also this being a british produced show you have to take it with a grain of salt. UK and US have a hard time not being overly critical of russians so my bet is while the men MAY be alive, per russian authorities, i'd bet the producers of the show will show them dying and a cover up to claim they are alive.
Personally, any US or UK show or documentary about Russia or China I have to take with a bucket of salt

For those interested the Creator/director of the show has a podcast that further explains the episodes and the facts behind the scenes. Game of Thrones style but more fact sharing.

It's called the Chernobyl podcast

Excellent podcast

at that ending.

i feel like im getting sick watching this.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I have to keep telling myself that watching it won't make me sick.

That is a sign of excellent filmmaking.

I had no idea how much worse Chernobyl could have been, holy shyt. And those 3 guys that swam in the toxic water, here's 400 rubles and a promotion.... But you'll be dead by the time the check clears and the paperwork goes through for the promotion

 

[PlayerNinety_Nine]

I keep on waiting for someone to just say "........we're fukked"

@ that talk about everything in a 30k radius being wiped off the map, then whole cities getting thrown in the bushes, and half of Eastern Europe being given the within 48-72 hours.

The thought that the guy who refused to believe there had been an explosion last episode has probably puked himself to death by now is though

This was one part that I thought was made up. But it actually DID happen (though in reality it was months later and the helicopter clipped a cable). But it LOOKS almost exactly like the way it was depicted:

I've heard goof things about this show.
Guess i'll start it after the finale of GOT to cleanse myself

 

[Sghost597]

Wasn't there supposed to be a 2nd set of explosions?

 

[detroitwalt]

The funniest part to me was when Boris & Legarsov got off the chopper and the 2 cats that were initially in charge thought they were gonna bullshyt Boris. The dude Fomin got tossed directly under the bus
Boris: Why am I seeing graphite on the roof?
Don't know his name: Fomin, why is Boris seeing graphite on the roof?
Fomin:

And I noticed the old party dude that gave the speech in ep 1 (Maester Luwin from GoT) had his ass on the bus in the 2nd ep

 

[LurkMoar]

this ep was Crazy!



When they asked for permission to kill 3 men i was like bytch you just said half of Europe gets murked this is no contest

 

[The axe murderer]

This series is intense man. HBO got another one

 

[TheDarceKnight]

That first episode was as terrifying and suspenseful as any horror movie I've seen.

HBO has a winner right here.

I'm excited for this because I vaguely know what happened at Chernobyl but only the big picture. So everything that's going on in the show is unknown enough to keep me on the edge of my seat.

It's not TV, its HBO.

How far the radiation spread was insane
Those stubborn ass politicians got hit with reality quickly
