Whenever anyone asks me what my favorite TV show, my answer is always Chernobyl. It brings to light an event that changed the world as we knew it. It led to the eventual collapse of a major world super power. Chernobyl destroyed the lives of many in the Soviet Union and it changed the way the world approached the energy sector. Like with most shows, I love the last episode the most because of how much is brings to light. Not only are the physics behind nuclear reactors explained with accuracy (wish I love being a STEM major), but the real root causes that have plagued the Soviet Union for decades are explained as well. Know having studying Soviet history, I now understand how the themes of efficiency above all and the need to keep up an image of powerful were so important to the Soviet Union, but also what led to their eventual demise. This show is really able to explain this idea and I applaud it for that.
