The best episode of a great mini-series. Been looking forward to this one. Thanks for watching.

Thank you for doing this short series. This event 40 years ago still has lasting impact today. Enjoyed the conversation and comments from the fam. ✌️

So glad you finally got to watch this. Most people don’t even know about this, but I was in college when it happened. I remember them saying on the news how the Soviet Union tried to keep it secret because they thought it would cause embarrassment for them. They spent so much in resources to fix this that the incident was blamed for the collapse of the Soviet Union. Up until the war started with Ukraine you could actually go to Pripyat on a sightseeing tour. Here is the video of someone who went on the tour. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/VpBrWzfinpk?si=TaFzXRIJdIJ61a9A

can’t wait to see what’s next ;) loved this flow of serious mini series, funny comedic series, and just whatever movies. I’m down!!!!!!!

So while this is still fresh in your mind, I highly suggest you watch a sort of follow up to this Soviet nuclear disaster. There was another nuclear incident depicted in the movie, K19 Widowmaker starring Harrison Ford. Although the incidences were separate, both of these go together nicely. Enjoy! ☢️

Yes!! Thank you so much for doing this series, you guys are the best 🙏💛

OK, one more video for you. The structure that the Soviet Union built around the power plant had started to rust and decay allowing radiation to escape. Back in 2016 the French came in and bailed out the Soviet union by building a brand new structure that is supposed to last for the next 100 years. https://youtu.be/fScXvnDpb-w?si=wxhcijVLVuU84-aT

We need that Marvel drop this week! ❤️

That ending breaks my heart every time.

Jesse McAdams

I think you guys were confused and missed a lot of the meaning of why things were said and done. The pauses and such in the trial.

Dallas Adams

So in case you didn't realize it, Legasov was the one that hung himself in episode 1 after giving up the tapes (evidence) to someone. Possibly a reporter.

OK, this is the last one I promise. Here is a BBC documentary on the real life, firefighters wife, Lyudmilla Ignatenko but unfortunately, it is subtitled. Still a really good update on what all happened to her after the incident as well as her take on the series. https://youtu.be/aRFkmFLl4zA?si=TDHBHhJi_Ibkml-B

ASIA and BJ, episode 5 title Vichnaya Pamyat is pronounced roughly as VEECH-nyah PAH-myat. It's a Ukrainian phrase meaning "Eternal Memory," used in Orthodox Christian services for the deceased.

Amazing series. Recommend the movie Bridge of Spies and TV series The Americans.

ah man, oh yea chalk that one up for a good series and reaction. Still not on board with any new series you uploaded yet, maybe I will but if it doesn't grab my attention immediately or if I start to see a pattern of same story but with different scenarios, I loose interest quick. I was watching Reacher for a moment and it was good for a moment then I started to notice that pattern, I was ah great, another one of those series so I dropped it.

I still can't believe it was only 5 EPS of stellar cinematography, good suspense, and great script! They did really well with putting together the series of events that led to this disaster and the aftermath.

Between 4,000 to 93,000 people died. (An insane range to begin with). Nah, it was just 31. And then try to wipe out the memory of the true heroes. That’s a Communist dictatorship folks.

Bill B.

Wow!!!! I noticed Rose Bolton right off the bat, also Dagmer and Maester Luwin… completely missed all of the others! Can’t believe I missed Jeor Mormont and Pod the Rod!

Karim

The look on Boris’s face when Valery told him how important he was to everything was very moving. He really needed that reassurance.

Josip Buretić

I would also love to have 3 day weekend 😊

Zima Roo

Thanks for this react guys. Sorry so many comments are pushing for other stuff 😂 As if The Office compares

Charles

Had a pleasure watching this with y'all. That scene during the recess of the trial, when Boris looks at the inchworm on his hand. That's my favorite moment of the whole show. Life is precious.

Syl

It is unbelievable what happened there, and that because of ONE man... I was 6 at that time, living in Poland. I remember we had to go to the Dr. after that and all kinds had to swollow some iodine.

Josip Buretić

I was also 6 living in Croatia I don't remember it but my mom told me that we didn't play outside and stuff like that

Kain D. Zero

I despise people who know risks that can be eliminated and who do nothing and force everyone in the know to stay silent. More power plants like the one that exploded could have exploded if the truth hadn't come out.

Kain D. Zero

In this regard I hate the human race. We have created so many things that we would be better off not have never invented. We have destroyed our nature and keep destroying it in so many ways that it makes me sick every time I think about it. Our forests, our oceans, the dangerous materials and weapons we have created.

Myth Oceanas

The show is a good show but pushes a lot of myth's that have been proven not to be true. Like the people on the bridge of death are still alive. The men from the disaster didn't start bleeding externally. The woman losing her baby because of radiation is not true. Legasov and Shcherbina were not at the trial, because the govenment already knew what was going to be the outcome. Legasov was very much a party man and did not push back against the cover up. He had a family and lived in an upscale has in the middle of Moscow but the show wanted a Hero. The explanation at the trail also has some inaccuracies like the Xenon poisoning being the main cause, true but not really. The test was conducted sucesfully and then exploded in reality. Legasov DID blame the staff and Dyatlov, and said the test failed because of them, which was the Sovie line. Dyatlov was not as inept or a responsible as the show portrayed either, he was just a fall guy. He went looking for Khodemchuk himself and went himself around the plant evacuating people and stayed on sight helping until 5AM the next morning. The show does in broad strokes cover a lot of true events but for the sake of drama added a lot of made up stuff. Creative liberties and pushing a lot of Soviet propaganda from the 80s. "What is the cost of lies?"

Myth Oceanas

The true story is that no one knows for sure why he hung himself and there were no tapes. The theory is that is guilt from being a big party supporter and his role in the cover up drove him to it. Some say he did it in protest because even by the time he died none of the other reactors had been updated and he didn't want to be around for the next disaster.

That was the basically the underwater version of the breast stoke the girl in the pool was doing. Butterfly stroke is absolutely a nightmare because like you said, I end up swimming in place.
