Two episodes in, this HBO show has been GREAT. Very well-written and harrowing. They paid a great attention to detail.

If you want to watch a drama that highlights the horrors of a totalitarian leftist political system, this is it.

They do correctly show the incredible bravery and sacrifice of some of the people there on the ground. The low rung dwellers who always seem to pay the price for horrible central government planning.

Sounds like a Good Thing that they had some refined Boron available.

Who would want to start at the prospecting phase to go get some in a hurry?

You probably don’t know their names, but 30 years ago, they saved Europe.

I’ve watched every episode so far and I can’t wait for the next one. I’m addicted.

It’s absolutely horrifying. I’m referring to the sickening radiation victim scenes and the incompetence and the cruelty of the Communist regime.

The last scene of Episode Three was heart wrenching.

President Reagan, Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II have often been credited for helping to end the USSR. They certainly did their part but, IMHO, Chernobyl was the nail in the coffin of the Soviet Union.
