Why shouldn't you wear Russian underwear?

They also tend to think they're great at them. See also: Sean Connery accent.

A;ways thought the Hunt For Red October handled it nicely...

talked to two 55ish year old ukranian dudes tonight about this show. they told me they have no interest in watching it because it brings up bad feelings. one of them was there when it happened, and the other had already left, but still a lot of family and friends there.

the one who was there said he worked in a childcare at the time and it was only 20 kilometers away and still filled with kids!

idk if this link will work, but imdb made a little video tribute to the career of jared harris. no mention of "the terror" but still a ton of surprising and great work he has done. his career and talent is similar to phillip seymor hoffman

Did you tell them you think their stories are boring ?

I mean, just in the last couple of years:

The Expanse
The Crown
The Terror
Chernobyl

Jared Harris might be the best actor on the planet right now.

Shows delivered but a little overrated. The dude from mad men who plays valery is a big time over actor and ruins it. Coulda been great otherwise

TIL that I need to watch The Crown because it has Jared Harris in it.

Most pathetic troll attempt ever.

PIKALOV: The number is not 3. It's 15,000.

SCHERBINA: What does that number mean?

LEGASOV: (turns red, shaking, shrieking, grabbing everyone by the lapels as he addresses the group) IT MEANS WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIIIIIE! RUN FOR YOUR ****ING LIVES!!!!! DO YOU HEAR WHAT I'M SAYING???? **** EUROPE, WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!!!!

Yeah, he was a bit over the top in that scene (????????).

HBO has an incredibly deep roster of miniseries, Band of Brothers, The Pacific, Generation Kill, Show Me A Hero...

man I really think this is better than all of them. Pitch perfect at every level.

“I’ve already given my life, isn’t that enough?”
“No, I’m sorry, but it is not.”

is absolutely astonishing dialogue.

The ****ing guy who wrote Hangover 2 wrote that.

The disaster deconstruction was great during the trial. After episode 1, I spent a good 30 minutes reading about the second by second account of what was physically happening in the reactor and that segment made it crystal clear. Outstanding mini series.

Bravo. This should be at the top of everyone's highlight reel who was involved with this production. Just a spectacular presentation.

Special note of Alan Williams, who played the KGB Chief. Just chilling.

"You scientists with your reasons. WHEN THE BULLET HITS YOUR SKULL, WHAT REASON DOES IT MATTER?"

Mazin and Renck should be given carte blanche to make any damn thing they want to now.

Harris, Skarsgard, Watson, and Ritter led a stellar cast. Not a wrong note among them.

This show really gave me a sense of what it must like to live under that kind of regime. The only other movie that has done it that well is The Lives Of Others.

That testimony by Harris is perfect. I can't imagine trying to write something that has to be technically understood by the audience as well as making it work dramatically. Amazing work. As a writer myself, I'd love to see how many drafts of that scene Mazin went through.

You are now the WOAT. Congrats!

Yup.

Watching the finale later. Just fantastic in every conceivable way thus far. HBO continues to pwn.

That last ep was pretty much perfection lol

Kind of ridiculous how good it was

Even like the little where are they now video at the end was like the best one of those I've ever seen

I was born nearby after fleeing the disaster. I'm glad another generation will at least know what I'm talking about when I reference it. I'll let my family know about the show and see if I can get their reactions.

That was one of the finest endings of one of the finest series I’ve ever seen. Went through so many emotions in those five hours.

Very cool, thx!

wow! You should seriously consider doing an AMA about your experience. I'd love to know more.

That final episode is the best episode of anything I can remember seeing.

Absolutely captivating from start to finish.

If you're interested in the scripts, you can find them here!

I seriously cant believe how good that episode was even knowing how good the series had been. Easily top 10 all time show.

Top to bottom outstanding. Makes me hate GoT even more.

This guys past writing credits were the Scary Movie and Hangover sequels!!!

Doesn’t seem impossible that Legasov is responsible for saving more lives than any human who has ever existed by getting Russia to fix the other 16 reactors.
