My YouTube algorithm has suggested a string of Chernobyl clips. I knew that show was good, but damn, it's better than I remember. The tone, the music, the sound effects, the acting, are all just fantastic.
Take this one for example:
When Sitnikov is on the roof - the music and sound are perfect. They capture the menacing nature of the reactor - almost as if it's a living thing. When he looks back at the guard, he knows he's a dead man. The producers perfectly built suspense into every moment.
And the progression of Legasov and Shcherbina over the series from enemies to brothers-in-arms is spectacular. Shcherbina is a guy that you root against in the beginning, but respect by the end.
I think this is one of those series that is worth re-watch on the regular.
