Has there been any similar reinterpretation of the Windscale Fire?Have to say 'Chernobyl' on Sky is definitely well made and gripping, albeit very grim and dark (as you would expect from such a terrifying event.)
This surprised me a bit because some of Sky's home produced dramas have been a bit crap (that's me being polite.) For example there's Jamestown (think, East Enders set in Virginia in the 17th Century.) Then I noticed that the series was partially co-produced by HBO, which for me explained a lot. (They made Game of Thrones, Deadwood and so on.)
I know a little of physics and was always curious about what happened at Chernobyl, and there's still some question about the cause of it, not helped by the then USSR's reluctance to release information. But there is a good one line explanation within the dialogue of the series: "Nothing like this has ever happened on this planet before."
Well worth watching, as this event happened within the lifetimes of some of us, and we still might not be aware of the effect it had on our lives, and make no mistake, it did have an effect. There's more horror in this than any vampire/zombie/monster/etc feature you care to mention, because this happened, and the science is relentlessly real and completely unforgiving.
Good, startling, frightening drama.
Catch 22 anyone?I watched the first episode and as yet undecided. The book was a phenomena, and I always thought unfilmable, but they did film it some years back and did a fairly good job. I'll stick with this series though, it has promise.
It was love at first sight.
It is quite dark - actually in colour tone it's quite umber - but it does one thing very well, and that's showing why Yossarian wants out - the scenes in the bombing raids are genuinely terrifying.I'm not enjoying Catch 22 as much as I thought. If feels less absurd and more like despair. The only character who matches my head image is Milo!
There are ways of looking at this that I must admit I had not considered.Catch 22 anyone?
