Chernobyl
Chernobyl a place we are likely all familiar with and most of us know the consequences of what happened that day in April 1986.
HBO in partnership with sky have launched a mini series based on the events of the disaster, which to this day remains the worst nuclear accident in history (followed very closely by Fukushima) So far i am only on episode 2 of 5 but my first impressions are very good they really have done well in the special effects and detail regarding the events so far, i do have some niggling questions which il write down later once i have watched all 5 episodes but for now this is certainly one interesting show. The location for the filming is a place i have actually been to as well the Ignalina nuclear plant in Lithuania, so both areas are surprisingly familiar to me. As you guys are aware i have been to Chernobyl myself back in 2017 (i cant find the original post i made ) but here are the pictures i took of my trip into the dead zone. (and yes i want to go back) https://www.flickr.com/photos/131313...57679461271885

You'll enjoy the series Blair, I certainly did but I'll refrain from adding any spoilers which will become obvioualy apparent as you progress through the series.

The series is wonderful!
Already saw it all and it is (for me) very well made. Some episodes are quite a punch in the stomach and when it ends, one just want to see next one. A funny picture that I saw about the this series was that it was HBO atonement for and to the fans of GOT. |

This really is a great series in an eerie kind of way. I remember seeing a documentary of the dome that was produced to cover the destroyed reactor.
Great pictures and writing Blair, as usual. |
