Let's face it folks we are talking about American screenwriter Craig Maizin being the one person responsible for getting it right for what happened with a nuclear accident that occurred on Saturday 26 April 1986, at the No. 4 nuclear reactor in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, near the city of Pripyat in the north of the Ukrainian SSR and then putting it all together in a five part mini series some 33 years later. I am going to assume that much of the dialogue we observe on screen between the key players is probably conjecture and without much factual evidence to back up the entire story line.

Please do not assume I am a non believer because of course the tragedy and its aftermath at the Chernobyl nuclear plant and thousand of square miles away was very real and caused many lives to be either lost or severely damaged.

Kudos to the set director(s) for providing their audience with a realistic environment of what most likely happened before and after the Chernobyl disaster. It made us feel the reality of what the plant employees, fire and rescue and victims must have been going through as the disaster evolved.

Acting was first rate and the final episode which provided the missing details of what (and who) really caused this preventable tragedy neatly tied up any loose ends for us their audience. As stated earlier I cannot accept all of the actual series dialogue and people as factual such as Professor Ulana Khomyuk to have been singled out as bringing out the truth as the written and rolling explanations provided at the end of the series outlined the liberties that were taken to summarize the catastrophe into this mini series.

Well done!
