It's coming on in a minute. Also is getting massive praise by critics already. So We are in for a treat.
That was awesome, the tension was insane.
That utter sense of "we are fucked but no one wants to admit it"

already can tell this is going to be in the running for one of the GOAT mini series of all time
This is the most interesting part to me. That is some range.
Ah, ok. I'm actually not sure how long it takes for it to show up on Fios on demand. It can't be more than a day I figure?
Well Game of Thrones goes up at the moment the episode starts so I have no idea why this isn't up yet.
Netflix spoiled me. I need to wait till a few more episodes are released before I watch it. Sometimes I can't resist the binge
That shot of the civilians and kids on the bridge was so depressing
The entire episode was just drenched in dread

What's crazy is that this is based on real life events.
Things that stuck with me:
Are spoilers for the 1st episode safe here? I'll tag it just in case.

Radiation meters that max out at low levels so there's no proof of major radiation exposure to cause panics...
People working at the nuclear plant with absolutely no radiation protection suits whatsoever...
Plant managers refusing to accept that the reactor core exploded simply because they never heard of such a thing before...

It's up there. Not quite up better than Band of Brothers or John Adams yet. So a great first episode!
Wow. I haven't been this excited for a show in a while. Excellent first episode. Some beautiful cinematic sequences and superb sound design. Extremely easy to feel for these characters and in such a short amount of time.
It's also really cool to see what Craig Mazin can do with this much creative control.

Oh yes, please do.
Sorry for the tumblr half second length--but the cinematography is stunning:
Probably a good idea because many people might not know it started without clicking on the thread.
I just finished and that was really good and tough to watch. Looking forward to the rest of it.
Excellent first episode although it was moderately bizarre to me that every character in Ukraine spoke British English lol
Also this feels tonally like the sequel in spirit to The Terror - a sort of inevitably bleak and horrific show about people in denial about how bad things really are starring Jared Harris

My only problem really, they could have at least had accents that fit the location.
Hickey, too!
How many of them weren't British? I think having all actors conform to a British accent is silly, but if this has a cast of all British actors, I think it's fine.
It's a choice. A Ukrainian accent unconsciously implies to the audience that these are Ukrainian speakers who are speaking English, for some reason.
As opposed to Ukrainian speakers who are all speaking in English accents somehow unconsciously tells the audience that they are speaking Ukrainian?
