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?
Did you watch the show? They make the opposite point the entire time. They’re a few individuals standing up to the system that failed due to complete obfuscation. A few individuals get punished at the end, but that was the system also failing by trying to make it individuals’ fault instead of the systemic failure. It was all about how the system was broken, and the people who exposed it were punished, due to the same failures of the system.
Seriously, I don’t know how OP can miss that.
“How does an rbmk reactor fail? Lies…”
Literally. The opening lines are about the lies of the government. “What is the cost of lies?”
CLEARLY Russian propaganda!
Some people see Russian propaganda everywhere.
That just what the Russians want you to think!
It was so critical of the system to boot! With propaganda like Chernobyl, who needs journalism?
