Chernobyl on HBO

I heard about this show via the Internet (twitter). Which was great. Loved the miniseries thought it was well done. Just finished listening to a podcast on Chernobyl.

But the internet can also do terrible things.



This one especially, holy crap. So disrespectful not to mention stupid. Enjoy cancer:

Haha that part definitely takes a little bit of suspension of disbelief. Although, when it comes to that sort of thing I'd prefer actors stick an accent they are comfortable with rather than putting on a hokey Russian one. So far their performances have been flawless, Stellen Skarsgard and Jared Harris in particular.

There's a companion podcast that features the creator/writer of the show (The Chernobyl Podcast) and he said the actors were too focused on doing Russian accents than on their performances, so he just had them do their natural accents. Also they had to tone down the radiation poisoning scenes since the **** was too disturbing in real life. This is from an interview with Lyudmilla Ignatenko, the wife of Vasily Ignatenko (the firefighter)

They dressed him up in formal wear, with his service cap. They couldn't get shoes on him because his feet had swelled up. They had to cut up the formal wear, too, because they couldn't get it on him, there wasn't a whole body to put it on. It was all wounds. The last two days in the hospital, I'd lift his arm, and meanwhile the bone is shaking, just sort of dangling, the body had gone away from it. Pieces of his lungs, of his liver, were coming out of his mouth. He was choking on his internal organs. I'd wrap my hand in a bandage and put it in his mouth, take out all that stuff.... My love. They couldn't get a single pair of shoes to fit him. They buried him barefoot.

I've listened to the podcast along with each episode, it's very worthwhile for anyone interested.

History lesson, from 1940 to 1991 we were occupied by Soviets. So of course there is tons of soviet architecture remains. And everything else is not that difficult to change these days with CGI.

Agree with this even more. Veep is probably my favorite comedy of all-time. Hilarious. Season one was solid, not great. Season two a little better. And they kept getting better and better.

It's one of my favorites of all time too.
I love how vulgar/crass/non pc it is
