I think its more shocking than depressing Ninathenana . I agree Grandad its quite different to what I expected.

My wife and I believe that this is one of the greatest true-life dramas that there has ever been on television. We have informed the rest of the family via WhatsApp and they to are now absolutely riveted by the series.

In the way the second episode ended we can hardly wait for next Tuesday.

Gripping.

I haven't watched it, I thought it would be too depressing.

My son has told me so many stories NanaandGrampy . He knows quite a few people over there now and manages to get where many others can’t . He has some fantastic, eerie photographs .

It’s worth watching if you get the chance Gillybob , quite an eye opener .

I wanted to watch it but don’t have sky tv (or any other fancy packages just basic tv). My son said he would try and record it for me to watch as he has visited Chernobyl quite a few times. He has an amazing portfolio of photographs and memorabilia.

We recorded it and I wasn’t sure I wanted to see it but it’s been riveting.

The level of denial in the beginning beggars belief . And the sheer scope and scale of it is breathtaking.

We’ve only watched the first 2 of the 5 episodes but I can recommend it .
