Scenes of smoldering wreckage of the power plant spewing noxious miasma, cloaking the air with its deadly radiation, gloomy horizon dimmed by the billowing pall, severely burned bodies, blisters forming on the skin, people choking themselves to death and the people who were not aware of the impending doom send chills down my spine.

This is just a small fragment of the cataclysm that nuclear energy, nuclear weapons can generate for people, environment and the world.

I liked the movie being fairly unbiased about the people of former soviet union, readily laying down their lives to sacrifice for a greater cause.

Though, in some small segments of the series, the creators tried to furtively depict soviet authorities as uneducated, ruthless and bureaucratic.

I like the series and the sense of apocalypse it created in me.
