All the 5 episodes (~ 1 hour each) holds your attention with great characters, drama, details, and the history itself, of course. All very very good!
I really reccomend you to watch.

Hwy, Thanks Carol. I have heard of it, but I don't have HBO. If I can watch it from your link, that will be great. If you are interested in this subject, check out "City 40" (Ozyorsk) on Netflix, about the long-secret atomic development center in the Soviet Union, counterpart to the American city of Richland, WA and the adjacent Hanford site, where plutonium for the U.S. nuclear weapons program was made. Both cities kept secret many large releases of radioactive compounds that affected "downwinders" to this day. Hanford no longer produces plutonium, but the clean-up continues and will for another century or so.

Of course, Chernobyl was orders of magnitude greater, and the Soviet government quickly lost control of the situation as the wind blew massive amounts of radioactive dust over Norway and other countries.
In the meantime, I am enjoying the Scottish time travel series "Outlander" on Netflix. It's really good, and quite realistic in the depiction of life in the Scottish Highlands in the 18th Century.
