We watched the final (5th) episode last night. They went through the cause of the accident in step by step detail and made it something we can understand. It will be interesting to see if this ever plays in Russia. The ultimate cause was one man convinced he was right, and everyone else was stupid, and the fact the Soviet State would not admit a design flaw so they just redacted that part of the instructions. And the fact the Soviets wanted to save money and did it the cheapest way possible, and had no containment building at all.

And Sammy, the 4th episode of shooting the pets was hard to watch. I can understand the reason why they did that on an intellectual level, but I don't think I could do that. They guy they showed as the leader of that group was just a the type of man that would be able to do it.

Overall I wonder what the scientists think of the show. I would love to see a "How it was made" show about the show.

Overall it is something that anyone that wants to learn about the disaster should see.
