I haven't seen it yet, but from all the new tv shows this year it's by far the one I've heard most things about. Would you recommend it?

Pretty much a perfect show. I'd also highly recommend the podcast they did to accompany the show. It goes into great detail about what's real, what's not, and why they made the changes to the story that they did.
Don't watch it if you're easily depressed, though. It... well, it's horrible. And then it just gets worse, and worse, and worse, and every time you think it can't get any worse, it finds a way to get worse.

Chernobyl is horrible...this one may be even worse: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyshtym_disastermentalfloss.com/article/71026/kyshtym-disaster-largest-nuclear-disaster-youve-never-heardFor all practical purposes, the town was completely obliterated not only by the disaster, but in official Russian history, and to the world at large. It is only in very recent years, following the uncovering of huge quantities of Cold War Soviet documents that this event became known at all. Even now, only the smallest tip of the iceberg is known about what really happened, the number of lives lost, and the total extent of the damage.

It's historically inaccurate melodrama, to put it mildly. I saw it when it first came out and was beyond shocked at the canyon of disparity between what the miniseries is and the U.S. reaction of acclaim to it.
If you care about the victims of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in theory or personally at all, find a documentary about it. This is not their story, it does not even get the facts right in large part. This is HBO doing classically Hollywood-style self-congratulatory Aren't we clever? Isn't every lingering shot so impossibly precious? Oh, pshaw, regular people are far too stupid to realize that nothing like the moment where concrete is poured over the graves in front of the dead's loved ones ever happened nor could even possibly have ever happened, and the shot is just so fetch!
In earnest, if you care about history or truth, do not watch this.

I do wonder if the ones who built it, are the same ones who built Israels nuclear power plant. I guess if they go into meltdown, they'll probably use every excuse in the book to shift blame onto someone else. Just like they did in 86, them poor Belarusian kids who weren't even born have cancer already and deformed body parts.
