When I’m watching tv-series I usually stray away from shows like Chernobyl because the plot is heavily surrounded by loss and I always grow an attachment to certain characters during the show. In the episode, a plan was created to halt the spread of radiation to the Soviet Union’s water supply. It was very frustrating to see Vasily unknowingly poison Lyudmilla. But the storyline highlighted that it’s bigger than them because there are so many lives that are heavily impacted and destroyed by the disaster. The movie highlights how people’s selfishness can lead to a detrimental effect on an entire community and this is closely related to what the world is currently going through.

Endless possibilities
I watched this show recently and I agree that its sometimes hard to watch. You see a character and you know that they will likely die of radiation poisoning in the next week or so. When I was watching the fire fighters, for example, I knew they were going to die because of selfish decisions from others and it just hurt to watch them as they had no idea what was going to happen.
I agree with you when you say that this is related to what the world is experiencing today. I don’t think people understand how the littlest of mistakes can have an exponentially detrimental effect on others.
