I heard this was one of the best-rated shows of all time. There must be some mistake, or the finale leap-frogs several levels of quality, or the rating aggregation is meaningless. I'm intrigued by Chernobyl, it's just nothing special. Heroes are absurdly heroic, villains absurdly villainous. Scientists don't speak like scientists -- that's nothing new, see Christopher Nolan among others, but it's such a stupid trend. If Chernobyl isn't dumb itself, it's targeting dumbness. I'm not saying I want movies targeting physicists; rather I want movies with some respect for their audiences, not to assume audiences will put up with such phony dialogue, and with some respect for themselves, not to stoop so low. Why make Chernobyl if you aren't going to make it feel real? The showbiz aura kills the purpose.
