I just watched that tv show 'Chernobyl'
I thought it was really good, cant complain.
But...
It didnt seem the best fit for the subject matter. Imo it was too 'American', it was too entertaining, too 'good tv', hitting all the beats with a tight script. Also it all being in English was just bizarre.
Making a tv show about Chernobyl was an opportunity to do something really realistic, they could have made something *fucking brutal* like Threads (1984)
Threads is memorable and it carries weight. Chernobyl is just another (albeit really quite good) tv show.
