"Nun bin ich der Tod geworden, der Zerstörer der Welten.“
Mit diesem Satz kommentierte der Physiker Robert Oppenheimer die Zündung von Trinity - der ersten Atombombe der Welt. (Für Fakten-Freunde: das war am 16. Juli 1945 um 5:29:45 Uhr) Es war eine recht freie Übersetzung und Interpretation der „Bhagavad Gita“, einer zentralen heiligen Schrift des Hinduismus. Das spielt inzwischen allerdings kaum noch eine Rolle, ist dieser Satz doch so etwas wie Popkultur geworden. Immerhin wurde mit ihm auch der 2014er „Godzilla" von Gareth Edwards beworben. Angesichts der HBO-Miniserie „Chernobyl“ musste ich wieder an ihn denken. Denn sie ruft alle Emotionen ab, um zu zeigen, wie grauenvoll zutreffend Oppenheimers Aphorismus zum Start des nuklearen Zeitalters war.

Begins as visceral, graphic recreation and ends as a systematic breakdown of a government's limitations in what it teaches and what it hides. Mystifying and buried in existential dread.

Nerve-shredding, well-paced and grimly told; Chernobyl is by far the greatest dramatization of human error ever produced for television, emphasising that the toxicity of humanity is just as destructive as the deadly fumes of nuclear energy. This is truly terrifying stuff.

"Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt has to be paid."
MASTERPIECE.
A triumph. Harrowing. Sad. Dark. Captivating. Sobering. Hard hitting. Brilliant. Devastating. Incredible. Haunting. Chilling. Nauseous.
Chernobyl has officially got me fucked up!! I think I need a therapist. This is more terrifying than any horror movie I've ever seen!! and I'm pretty sure I forgot how to breathe...Damn that ending.... Fuck fuck fuck.....
Ps. Dyatlov is always a fucking asshole.

If you watch something like this and your big takeaway is that it was filmed in English, you may want to reevaluate your priorities

I came into this show expecting to see a morbid depiction of nuclear radiation and how it destroyed lives. Instead, I left this show regaled with the sycophantic nature of Soviet nationalist pride and how it destroyed lives.
Ultimately, the historical realism of events or even how actors in these situations were portrayed become exaggerated to the point where the writers end up harmfully supplanting small truths for a more exciting/heroic narrative.

one of the most devastating yet fascinating incidents of all time brought to screen absolutely perfectly
