Can understand why they took the Diatlov back story out though. They were talking on the podcast about a horrendous scene from the episode with the animals! Harrowing Incidentally, the final episode has become the first ever episode to be rated 10/10 on IMDB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I thought the first episode of the new Black Mirror was excellent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I need to watch it again, I think the 1st episode was maybe an 8, wasn't convinced I liked the way it throws itself in to it, problem being the way they did the final episode doesn't work if they change the way they did the 1st and the final episode is excellent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted June 7, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted June 7, 2019 I was absolutely sold on the first episode. I thought it was excellent. I loved the way that the first episode went straight into it and the build up was in the last episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mic09 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I'm watching the last episode of Chernobyl tonight. I wonder if everyone dies and the whole world goes into a nuclear post apocalyptic winter. No spoilers please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler i enjoyed it and like most HBO things was instantly drawn to its quality, I think they almost purposefully (and cleverly) create a confusion in the start during / immediately following the accident, you get a bit of science thrown in and press this, do this, shut down that which made no sense to me, you get a fair few Russian names thrown at you, you get 6 or 7 faces in the control room with no real idea of who they are or what they do, you do get an idea of the blind ignorance but that's just a taster of what is to come for me its gets better when the party committee politics ramps up in episodes 2 and 3, stellen skarsgard's role in it and then of course most stuff like this gets better when the KGB element is added in it wasn't the dread and fear of it all that i liked (such as seeing them all on the bridge and knowing they were doomed, or the fire fighters "can you taste metal?" it was the soviet politics which came later on rather than episode 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Episode 3 with the hospital was fantastic. It is a very good series, and in a way it's good they limited it to 5 episodes. If they carried it on for longer it's likely they would have overdone it.

Rodders Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 oh yeah stellan skarsgard is just fantastic. I mean they all are really, jared harris is great, emily watson is great. Spoiler stellen skarsgard going bonkers destroying the phone, was darkly comic for a few seconds very briefly suspending the nightmare concerns going on. I would have loved more episodes, following some of the other characters, or providing more of a focus in the period between the event and the trial; I have also gone straight to the library to get out a couple of books anyway, but the 5 they do are flawless. There are so many 'jesus christ' moments about it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 in the spoiler - yeah that's a great scene, that's the kind of stuff I liked, the soviet politics if they added anything more then for me it would be more soviet life, more average joes, definitely more with the miners, more of the idea that you're not a shoe maker any more mate you're off to Chernobyl and you'll be given a new job for the motherland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aforementioned phone scene, the real time 90 second roof scene and the puppies. Id say the roof scene is the highlight of the entire show.

I remember it well, scary times. Brilliant TV dramatisation. I made a Piper Alpha reference to a young Landlord a while ago .He was asking me why I wouldn't plan for a gas hob under an elderly tenant's window to which I replied "Because her house will go up like Piper Alpha if the wind blew her nets over an open flame" He said "Who's Paper Alfie ? Of course he'll burn if he's made of paper but she said she's getting blinds" I told him he'd go to prison and he seemed genuinely surprised. Now I'm doing social housing across the country and it terrifies me how many times I'm walking into tower blocks full of gas hobs inches away from combustibles . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
