I was born 2 years after Chernobyl so I always knew what happened there from my parents. We live in Poland,so luckily we were spared the worst of the radiation but my mum told me that our government also kept shut about the catastrophe. Despite knowing what happened in general,I still had goosebumos while watching and was extremely pissed at the politicians who tried to hide it. Very captivating mini series. Just remember to keep some chocolate close by,you may need it to cheer yourself up.
