#2-son and I finished Chernobyl tonight. [View all]

We've been binge-ing two episodes at a time and watched the one remaining episode this evening. Wow, powerful and dark but also enlightening and educational. My son is a physicist and was able to explain a lot as it was happening, all the different types of radiation and what they can do to the living. I learned loads (mostly how much I didn't know!). Oddly, he still believes there is a place for nuclear energy. I guess we'll have to leave that future up to our children. I signed up for a month of HBO just to watch this one and it was worth the $$. I recommend. Oh, and Jared Harris, son of Richard Harris, was phenomenal.
