      Okay, so all those thinkpieces and rave reviews you've seen for HBO's miniseries CHERNOBYL? All the positive chatter on Twitter about CHERNOBYL? It's all true. It's all correct. The show is absolutely terrifying and utterly riveting. Watch it.

      There was an extended period from halfway through the first episode to halfway through the second where my wife was just holding her hands up cradling her head against her palms, not in fear but in disbelief and rage at the behavior of the various Soviet apparatchiks.

      EPISODE 4: well that's definitely enough animal execution to sit through for one year. Or lifetime.

      Would have preferred 59 minutes of coal-miner dong to that. Strongly preferred.

      By the way, if you're enjoying CHERNOBYL, I strongly recommend the "Chernobyl Podcast" w/NPR's @petersagal interviewing show creator/writer @clmazin. One ep for each of the miniseries, and tons of backstory/explanation/thoughts on creative process.

      On Ep #1 of CHERNOBYL podcast, @clmazin explains the one thing that ppl in my mentions have been griping about: UK accents instead of Russo-Slavic ones. It's a deeply convincing one (i.e. actors tend to play into the accent instead of the script) & I'm glad they did it this way.

      If watching movies has taught me anything, it's that everybody, even the ancient Romans, had British accents.
