These two scenes also bothered me for being (IMO) misleading and way over-dramatized. Note the weaselly "has been reported" in the caption about the Bridge of Deathpic.twitter.com/AyezIwbOFd

I really enjoyed the HBO "Chernobyl" miniseries (and heartily recommend it). I also really enjoyed this critique of it: https://theweek.com/articles/844566/chernobyl-historically-accurate-about-things-that-matter … Some excerpts belowpic.twitter.com/buMyEHumv7

Craig Mazin: "I always defaulted to the less dramatic [version of events]."
And yet still a great piece of work!Show this thread

It's... really not clear that TMI could have gone anywhere near what Chernobyl did, nevermind what Chernobyl _could_ have done. Lower void coefficient, stronger (and not-flammable) containment buildings, there genuinely were a ton of changes.

Thanks for filling in some details. Is it your impression that something like Chernobyl couldn’t happen in the US (because overall the US is more careful)?

I think he mentions in the podcast that the Spartacus like scene was fictional. I think it was a narrative choice like that of making the fictional character of Khomyuk instead of a bunch of scientists who would not get screen time

Yeah good point. I really liked the podcast and was glad they tried to explain which things were real vs. composite vs. fabrications. I wish they did more! But at least it set the stage for future creators :)
