I think arguably one of the best miniseries in the history of television. The most realistic, the most substantial and the most terrifyingly true portrayal of a tragedy where human arrogance made it all the greater. The production of the series can well be described as "epic", from the beginning to the end it makes you live, almost afraid of what you are watching even if more than 3 decades have passed. I think it's one of those rare jobs where you can't find anything that isn't flawless, directing, acting, everything. What I personally loved about the series is that it didn't just show the surface of what happened, it dealt with the whole background, all the tragic manipulations, the incompetence of some people and the propaganda of the then regime that led to this explosion. It pays tribute to an unsung hero, Valery Legasov and how humanity repaid his valuable services in those days. I recently read that the Communist Party of Russia called the series "disgusting" and called for a lawsuit to be filed against its creators, which obviously proves how good a job they did on this series. Let's not see it politically or ideologically at the expense of a specific side, the series simply shows in a masterful way the historical truth and how absolutist regimes of any kind are dangerous for the management of such crises.

Honor to all lost in this tragedy
P.S The true impact that Europe had from this tragedy are even to this day being investigated but if anyone want it can visit here and read more about what nuclear accidents can do to our health and the world.
