Sorry, guys, but you're too immature for this show. I don't mean to be disrespectful, but you've already missed a lot, and I'm sure you'll miss even more. Hopefully, you'll rewatch it someday in the future. P.S. And it's not about the sense of humor at all.

Charlotte Drolet

Yay!!!! Been waiting on the last two episodes, let's go!

To be fair, they are younger and didn't grow up during the Cold War, so they don't have the historical context of Russia (Soviet Union/USSR) at the time and the nature of the government. Also, unlike when we were still living with memories of "duck and cover" as kids in the 80s/early 90s, there is very little taught about radiation today in elementary through college unless you focus on the sciences or have a STEM education. While there had been minor incidents in past like Five Mile Island in the late of 70s in Pennsylvania, we had not encountered something of the scale nor severity of Chernobyl, and again, to be fair with them, this isn't something that is readily taught in schools today, nor has been since like maybe mid 90s. When the cold war ended, so did most of the United States' focus on education about radiation and how close we've come to the brink of destruction. Without that context, it is hard for younger generations to truly appreciate Chernobyl. There are nuances to the characters, the challenges they face and how horrific this event was (along with attempts at coverup) that really benefits from having some background in it. The series does a solid job of bringing people up to speed, but it can be lost on younger viewers. When they totally missed how terrifying it is that the professor and her assistant had their radiation detectors go off so far away from Chernobyl in Episode 2 while focused on "foot fetish guy", and there is no burning the clothes (as suggested) in the basement of the hospital (which remains there today decades later, still radioatioactive and shooting "bullets that penetrate everything except lead") I realized they don't have the context of how truly alarming this whole incident was and they interpret much of what they are watching and WHY it is occurring for granted or with a modern lens, and it really isn't their fault since they don't have the framework to contextualize it. Like the victims and heroes of Chernobyl, Ad and lil big banana bruv, just never encountered anything like this and had nothing to use as a reference, so they are figuring it out as they go along.

This whole time, I have seen Osafa as a tough guy who can hold his own. I just watched Sleep kick his behind!!!! He was almost down for the count!!! YOOOO!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Charlotte Drolet

I cannot seem to stop laughing at the fact that Adison is just sitting there while his homeboy is next to him getting bodied! Sleep beating on him like Tyson.

Charlotte Drolet

I don't know who Hummingbird is, but every time she speaks, insightfulness and facts fill the air!

Zach VanDyke

this show so fire. make sure when you finish the last episode you watch the ending credits!

Jess Tyrell

Barry keoghan he was in Saltburn and loads other popular movies

Kai

let my man go sleep

Hanna

He was talking bout the guy talkin to him, actor name Fares Fares, who was in Wheel of Time series.

What a silly thing to say. Uneducated on the topic? Sure, a lot of people are. But they're not nuclear scientists, cut them some slack.. it has nothing to do with immaturity. They're still learning a lot and appreciate the story being told.

Kareem Harper

Jsaustin95 - to be fair, I think the OP couldn't articulate better and reverted to "immature" instead of saying something akin to, "lacking the context" as I said in a word salad that was tl;dr. I don't think they meant it maliciously since they flagged "it isn't about the humor." It was just a very poor word choice on their part.

Addison almost laughing when Osafa was falling asleep😭

There are certain elements in the show that are exagerated and is not how it would play out in reality. For example a pregnant woman touching a person that received a fatal dose of radiation in a hospital is not harmful to anyone outside of the radiation victim ...the reason why people are told to stay away or not aproach them is because they (the radiation victim)no longer have an immune system to fight of even a simple cold so every interaction in close contact could complicate things more. Also radiation victims do not give off radiation to others...it is the stuff that they were around or had on them that gave them the lethal dose that is dangerous and give off radiation...most people that were hospitalized were already cleaned off and were showered probably in the prypt town ...specifically to remove any radioactive fragments or dust .

bedifferent

I didnt say anything about nuclear science. I meant what I say, emotional maturity is a thing or whatever you want to call it. They are missing some key aspects of the show and what it tried to reveal besides nuclear disaster itself

Kareem Harper

You partially are right, but there is more nuance to it... Someone being radioactive to others depends on the type & degree of radiation/time of exposure they received. Not all split atoms are alike... some are more dangerous and longer lasting than others. So like in hospitals, that is "external-beam radiation" - focused and targeted using certain isotopes with a short lifespan, and while they are not radioactive and pose no risk, people are told to stay away for reasons you identify, due to a lessened immune system. Those exposed to "internal" or worse, "systemic radiation" like from a bomb or nuclear disaster like chernobyl with certain long lasting harder hitting radioactive material, ARE radioactive for a period of time until death and others MUST stay away as they pose a risk of contamination* as well. Basically whether or not you stay away is how many of those isotopes are embedded in a material and how long those bullets are firing. That's why those clothes are still in the basement of the hospital, and still deadly cancerous and DNA destroying with continued exposure. That's why the Chernobyl exclusion zone forbids hunting and consuming wildlife, water and plants within and tries/tried to prohibit streamers from entering before the Ukraine-Russia war. That's why we aren't freaking out about microwaves in our kitchen. Different isotopes, different degrees a radiation, varying levels of risk... and those that immediately responded to the blast site experienced something unprecedented with a particularly nasty form of bullet. Those nurses at the Pripyat hospital (City Hospital No. 126) were heroes, as were those that cared for the first responders later in Moscow. Some of those exposed **at site** still had bullets in them and as we know even those further way at bridge (that may have been cleaned off- gotten those external bullets off) still died of complications due to how DNA destroying those istopes were my man, iodine-131, cesium-137, and strontium-90... no joke.

RamonMDF

Just to make sure we understand each other ... the Chernobyl victims were no longer radioactive to others in terms of touch or being near them once they were in the Moscow hospital. If some had ingested or inhaled radioactive particles or dust, that means their bodily fluids (like urine or vomit) could be slightly radioactive ...but that’s not the same as them emitting dangerous radiation. The dose from those fluids to anyone nearby would have been insignificant. Doctors and nurses treated them up close using gloves and basic precautions ... not lead suits or isolation rooms. If the patients had actually been dangerous to others, the staff would have needed heavy shielding ... but they didn’t. The firefighters’ clothes in the hospital basement are still highly radioactive because they were covered in reactor dust and debris, not because the men themselves became radiation sources. Basically, if someone is internally contaminated, only their bodily fluids need careful handling; the person themselves isn’t a radiation hazard to others. It’s not the victims who are dangerous ... it’s the radioactive material on their clothes, gear, or in the environment (hence the exclusion zone).

I think it is important to point out that at the time this occurred (1986), information was not readily available to the general public in the Soviet Union. Even some workers in the Chernobyl plant were not fully aware of the affects of radiation poisoning. These were considered state secrets. Think back to the first episode when the firemen showed up to the plant wearing their normal gear. No extra precautions were taken, not that they even had advanced PPE. This happened 39 years ago. It was a different time and absolutely a different culture. There was a line in this episode that perfectly explains the culture in the Soviet Union at the time: ‘What you’re proposing is that Legasov humiliate a nation that is obsessed with not being humiliated.’ Boris Shcherbina The Communist Party that ran the Soviet Union desperately wanted to keep all of this a secret so as not to look bad on the world stage. This was also shown by the Soviet government giving the Germans the number 2000 roentgen when they knew it was several times higher than that. I think we can all agree that it was a miracle that the Chernobyl event was not worse than it was and that was due to the heroic efforts of the scientists, the men who were digging in 120+ degree heat, the men who ran on to that roof to clear debris, and countless others who put their lives on the line for the greater good. Peace and Blessings! Linda

So we are clear: We are really talking about timing here and degrees of contamination - something I think you are dismissing to be contrarian or to downplay the severity either intentionally or not... never sure if had sand in bodily crevasses. Takes a while to take even larger grain particles out everywhere... We are talking microscopic. In the early hours and days, some hospital staff were exposed to radiation from contaminated patients and materials, that's a fact, period. Some of the first responders never even made it to Moscow decontaminated. They were rushed because of the cover-up. Of those further away, it was a mixed bag, some arrived decontaminated and posed no risk, others didn't and weren't decontaminated for 2-3 days given the volume and still posed a risk. So yes, there were people that even arrived in Moscow that you had to stay away from until full decontamination. This is about the first 72 hours starting with the Pripyat rush, and god bless those in Moscow that dealt with that ishtshow. https://media.tenor.com/9DczYSasQMYAAAPo/period.mp4

Tapping out for some legit frijoles volteados, rice and pork roast... Big hugs man.

RamonMDF

Hugs to you too man. And im not trying to downplay or be a contrarian or anything like that ...nuclear is just a topic i find interesting that`s all ... just talking about radiation or how it works or affects us and that the show exagerated some stuff but it`s still a good show...regarding what you said (from what i know.. im no expert tho) most is for Pripyat hospital which is why the basment there is so radioactive... I don`t know were you read that some arrived in moscow contaminated and a radiation hazard to people there..so i asked chat gpt for info regarding that and here is what it said:“They arrived without clothes, already washed. We checked them with dosimeters — no dangerous radiation was detected. We could work with them safely.” — Dr. Angelina Guskova, chief radiologist at Hospital No. 6 This is documented in Svetlana Alexievich’s Voices from Chernobyl, in the IAEA 1986 report." So based on that early on in Pripyat, external contamination was definetly a serious concern. But in Moscow, they weren’t radioactive hazards anymore...only their bodily fluids had trace contamination.

I love this show but Adison said before that he didn't like Clark. Maybe with the fellas it would be better for him.

We (USA) did assist the USSR during this disaster! I remember at least medical assistance and probably some equipment. As a child of the Cold War, I remember feeling relieved that the aid would end the tension between us and the Soviets. The Berlin Wall fell a few years later. Finally, in 1991, the end of the USSR and the Cold War. 1991 was also the end of South African apartheid.

xxtccyunno

wht yu sayin abt the helicopter blowin i feel like tech now we couldve but back then . holy disaester

xxtccyunno

lmfao ts the best reaction osafa falling asleep is so real this show lowkey so good it has its asmr moments jss background noises fr

Deke_HFX

They would rightfully quit the show after season 3. Its a waste of time to bother starting it.

I think the military guy who dumped the milk was Pips in Game of Thrones.

There is no excuse for what the woman did. You can't defend her by saying "how many people pay attention to the rules". When you don't follow the rules, if you get caught or if something happens to you, you suffer the consequences. She was told she can't go, she paid to go anyway. She lied about being pregnant. They told her she can not stay longer than 30 minutes, and she stayed there for days. They told her don't go beyond the plastic. What did she do? She went beyond the plastic to hold her melted husband's hand. It's like someone telling me not to go and hug bears, i go and hug a bear and get mauled and have people come to my defense with "well they said not to hug the bear, they didn't say it was dangerous'. Come on people, let's not get stupid. She didn't have control over what happened to her husband, but she did have control over what happens to her and the baby and she screwed it up. 100% her fault.

Dark D

It's Pyp, but yes that was him. Pypar is his full name.

Tami Hart

13:00 The guy you can’t place-I know he’s been in some stuff but all I see when I look at him is the movie Saltburn

Tami Hart

And he looks like a dang rat lol I’ll die on this hill!

Chris Giles

Oh, in Soviet Russia you couldn’t catch a plane outta the country BEFORE this whole mess!

Cristina

That was 100% Ishamael!

Chernobyl wasn't taught to us (GenX). We heard about it randomly in the news but it wasn't something that was taught because the US was pushing for nuclear energy. They didn't want people having negative opinions because of what happened there. They barely tell us about 3 Mile Island. The internet, fall of the USSR and FOIA are the reasons we know what we do now. We still don't have all the information about it and never will.

Jess Here

Random fact, Chernobyl means woodworm. It was named after all the black woodworm that grows in the area.

Keke

16:58 He’s also in A Way Out, a video game.

Lmao O fighting for his life in this one
