I was wondering how close it was to the actual events.

ICYMI there’s also a podcast on HBO’s YouTube page which I just stumbled across, whilst looking at archive footage and docs about people holidaying in Chernobyl!

Emily Watson's character is fictionalised but I think all of the other main characters are as they were.
The events are also accurate although the timeline of when they worked out what when wrong is shifted.

Not having a go.... no really.... but how old are you? Chernobyl was the nuclear reactor in Ukraine that melted down in 1986. Oh, it has already been explained. had you been a millenial, I could understand not knowing much about this.

Those initial response fire fighters were the bravest men alive IMHO. Words cannot express their sacrifice, by going in there and knowing that they would not survive.

Im nowhere near a millenial and know exactly what Chernobyl is/was.
The point is, because of that, I had no idea what the show could be.
Could be a disaster mini series, a drama, or some crazy xmen type scenario - who knows what producers would do with it?
Ive heard literally nothing of the show aside from comments here and a "rated higher than game of thrones" headline, hence asking the question

Sadly, I don't think they did know at first.

Ive a friend from Belarus, not far from there. And her dad suffers from the consequences to this day.
Bloody spoilers. This is ruined for me watching now. What’s the point when I’ve now found out on here that “the reactor blows up”.
Infuriating. Reminds me of the time I didn’t go to watch Titanic, as someone ruined the ending and told me that the big boat sunk at the end. Bastards.

Err, I think I could have come up with a more dramatic end for the Lannister twins. No trouble at all. There one portrayed was so bad, it would not be any great achievement on my part.

I don't want to be morbid or anything but I am curious how he is affected?

the podcast is excellent by the way, the show writer expands on the story with deeper background and additional stories to those included in the show
You can do day trips there now, when they first started letting people go there again it was left exactly how it was complete with litter, cigarette butts etc. Was fascinating seeing the photos but also a bit sick/weird.

Just watched GOT last series and enjoyed it. Makes me laugh to see how many script writers we have on here who think they could have done it better.
Its not that other people couldn’t do differently, it’s that the art doesn’t belong to them to do differently with.
You can enjoy it or not, but not doesn’t make it wrong. The artist doesn’t owe you anything.
