The genius behind this is not just the quality of the writing but also the absence of pyrotechnical performances underpinning the hopelessness of the victims and the wonderful production values and cinematography painting the other worldliness of Chernobyl itself as if it were an alien planet. The scene where the chief miner finds out what the mission is, is worth more than all 6 series of Line of Duty put together. Best drama I've seen since Red Riding
