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?

      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.
