I haven’t been watching much in terms of actual shows for a good while, then while listening to a podcast a host casually mentioned they had rewatched Chernobyl, how it still holds up, that there’s a reason it got as much acclaim as it did, etc. So I thought I’d give it a go and wow, loved it (still one episode left to watch).
Had me thinking, what else have I missed out on? What are some “absolute cinema” TV shows that still hold up and and are considered must watch?
Yes, it makes it sound like it was scientists against an idiotic government and that the scientists didn’t have any hand in it, when in fact they did.
There is a great video about it on youtube but there is no way I can find it.
Scientists had a hand and a voice in it, they were just ignored.
You should probably watch this

Very interesting, thanks for sharing it homie.
care too give some crib notes? the narrator talks at like 1 word ever 3 seconds, i dont know what the point it could be making that is worth my time, do i think the government was building reactor and not scientists? no, so what is that video trying to say?
Echos a lot of what is said in the show, about it being a systemic issue and people more worked about optics than safety. Also a big part of it was a critique of grigori m.'s book. Also yes governments to build nuclear reactors, but usually in close conjunction with scientists. No government is saying “I’m building a nuclear reactor all on my own. I don’t need no help!” It’s more about the extent to which the scientists are allowed to control/oversee production.
