2 stars for letting people Know about Chernobyl But that's about it half of the Stuff said in this is Wrong and alot of it is inaccurate to what actually happened, or blown Miles above what was actually happening, I have Watched loads of documentary's on this subject and have went though a few of the books regarding this Situation, if you are really interested in this is Please go and watch actual documentary's on this and you will realise how over the top this series was but you will learn more

Started to watch. Soon realised that all the Russian named characters spoke English. "Oi Dmitri, can you go down to the reactor" "Vladislav, what is the current reading?" It went on and on until I had to turn it off. Really took away from the experience.

It's a very well documented show but there are alot of things that are inaccurate to real life. Don't use this show to get information on what actually happened.
