It's just ok. The high user score here is absolutely baffling.

I would have appreciated just a little bit more historical accuracy. I understand it's a dramatization, but the strong female character shoehorned into it doesn't really work at all. I wouldn't have liked her even if I had no idea she didn't exist irl.

Besides that, it's really difficult to care about any of the characters because we don't really know anything about them and spent no time with them. And I'd like to have seen something - *anything* before the accident happened.

There are scenes explaining nuclear reactors and the effects of radiation on the human body that are extremely heavy-handed and clearly only there for the audience.

Overall, it's just ok and really further evidence that HBO is circling the drain, at least in terms of their ability to deliver a quality show.… Expand

It's okay but quite over the top. It seems like the writers exaggerated every aspect of the story as much as possible to increase the drama and scare the audience off nuclear power.
