    Take a guess:



    (hint: it's one of the most talked about and praised tv-series this year. Maybe not under the rock you live under. But everywhere else)

    It was fucking awesome. I loved it. It was just so well made - if I was a film professor, I'd be referencing it in my classes, lol.

    That was an awesome miniseries.  Still can't believe that actually happened.  Apparently there's an alternate version being made for Russia where the CIA caused the disaster!! LOL.

     I binged the 5 episodes twice.

    it was excellent & i learned more than i knew before.  a lot of every day heroes & Soviet scum leaders.

    The dogs got me & i thought the miners were awesome. Don't want to say too much for those who haven't watched.

    i could watch the whole thing again, but I'll wait awhile cause it's heavy stuff.

    Finished it. Would love to rewatch it. Loved the heaviness of it, and the lack of Hollywoodian tropes and feel.
