On my way to Perth Australia i watched the miniseries about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, i watched 3 of the 5 episodes on the way over to Perth and watched the last couple on my return flight.
Even though i saw each episode i wanted to watch them again once i got home, just so i could fully focus on each episode.
Today i just finished the series again, i never knew a lot about what happened and i am not even sure if this series paints the full picture.
I did really enjoy it and found it interesting but also sad, if you are looking for a good watch or have seen it already let me know what you think/thought.

I never realized there was so much lying in the years leading up to the disaster and straight after the event.
Its sad to think so many people scarified there lives to save other lives.
After watching it i started thinking we have a community here on Steemit from Ukraine, have any of you watched this series? do you have personal experiences related to this event?
Has anyone on here been close to Chernobyl?
Like i said above if you are looking for something to watch then watch this.
Thanks for reading my post today!

I haven't seen this series, but I can still remember the Chernobyl nuclear disaster very well (well, we are ‘almost neighbours’ to Ukraine here). It was in 1986, almost 40 years ago. And even today, people still point out that you should be careful when eating mushrooms because of the radiation exposure caused by the disaster back then. But I think that's only the case in over-regulated Germany. The Ukrainian electrician (born in 1986) who fitted our solar system has never heard of this ‘warning’ in his life...

At least our Solar panels will not explode, if you get a chance you should watch this.

Much of this was also hidden from the Western world. Excellent series. The Russians say it's propaganda, which, of course, means it's likely true.

I think I saw it. I know I watched a series on Chernobyl recently, but I'm not sure if it was the one on HBO. I also remember when it happened. The combined fear that followed after Chernobyl and Three Mile Island basically killed the nuclear energy industry in the US for most of my lifetime. It's only now that we're starting to see some new activity starting to happen.
