HongKongVillan Posted June 4, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 4, 2019 Final episode of Chernobyl was probably the best finish of any TV series. It shows you don't need shocks or twists to make good drama. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted June 5, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 5, 2019 The Bibliography thread which starts above is for anyone who wants to take a really deep dive into Chernobyl. Below is a link to download the scripts! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hornso Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Only a couple of decades too late but I am finally starting The Sopranos. I will have to give Chernobyl a crack too going by the amount of love it is getting on here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 watched episode 3 last night, looks a nice way to go... it seems to have a mix of everything in there, great music that's for sure, some brilliant imagery, some history, some drama, some suspense, some horror and the introduction in episode 3 even a bit of unintentional humour all with a great script and great acting with great characters, yet to see anything that they haven't done well yet, personally I love the soviet stuff and wouldn't mind more just normal soviet life but there's no filler in this I'll be honest and say in the first 10 minutes because of the abruptness of it I wasn't sure I would like it as much as I am Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stevo985 Posted June 5, 2019 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2019 Finished Chernobly as well last night. The last episode was a bit of a change of tone, more very very interesting than tense and grim like the previous episodes. Still excellent but in a totally different way. The bit at the end with the text and pictures showing you the real people and what happened to them was amazing. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 yep, also finished it last night. We did the last two episodes together, had to binge some Brooklyn 99 before bed to cheer myself up. It's just insane, INSANE, how close we were to disaster and the hubris of the Soviets in trying to cover it up ffs. I thought the last episode was so well done mixing the trial with flashback. It's astonishing to think 2 of the 3 sent in to open the sluice gates are still alive. I mean kudos to them, though I suppose they must have had some health difficulties since then 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the first episode I basically assumed everyone we were watching were dead. it's also weird how (I'll spoiler this) Spoiler People who were on the railway bridge quite a way away died, but people who were in the actual building like Shit on It and the other two who were in charge survived (or lived for a longer time anyway) Shows how proximity isn't the only factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flashback scenes in the last episode gave me the same feelings as the first episode - a feeling of uncomfortable dread in the bottom of my stomach. Brilliant acting from all, brilliant direction - it deserves to win all the awards. And for the love of McGrath, why didn’t one of ‘em just chin Dyatlov!?!?

It's been an absolutely stunning series and proof once again that we really are living in the golden age of TV. I think it will go down as one of the greatest mini series ever. Now this has finished and it's the last episode of The Virtues tonight, there's going to be a bit of a quality vacuum in my viewing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently Years and Years is supposed to be good but watched it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted a few days ago regarding ‘The Virtues’ - it just isn’t doing it for me and I don’t really know why! Stephen Graham (and the rest of the cast to tbf) is amazing, but the story just isn’t holding my attention. Found myself checking the iPad during last weeks episode. Black Mirror is out today, expecting good things from that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
