    Being Ukrainian this is the disaster that has always felt closest to "home" for me. I can't wait to see this and hope to see a great degree of historical accuracy.

      Growing up during the cold war and atomic scare in the 80s this disaster is deeply in-bedded in me and I'm not from anywhere near the place.

    The cast is really impressive. I am picky about TV series, but this one looks like it turned out well.

      Im interested how much of this is based on historical fact or how much is dramatized / fictionalized, given this happened under the soviet union.

      chernobyl is extremely well documented relative to most disasters of any kind that happened in the soviet union, so outside of truncating the events for the purposes of time and dramatic effect, they don't have very many excuses if it's not reasonably accurate to what happened. maybe if we're lucky, it'll be like deepwater horizon was.

          the wikipedia page, honestly. wikipedia usually lists all the major reports/documents/whatever else in the article body or lists them in the article sources and footnotes for things like this, and it's more convenient than just trying to track down whatever yourself since sourcing on wikipedia has to hit a certain standard to not be rejected.
