Reel vs Real compared

The episodes were captivating, very real even the character and scenes reassemble the characters and the original scenes. This show illustrates how dangerous the disaster can be and is from every point of view of the victims from the society to everyone involved in the rescue mission and whoever wanted to stop that catastrophe to the worse than it actually was. The visual representation of radiation burns was so real as far we've seen till today. The middle 3 episodes portray the enormity of the disaster and how the rescue was done and all the cleanup procedures, the sacrifices made by every volunteer workers, and measures taken by them. The final episode was the court scene where all of the things were lined up and said how did the catastrophe actually happen. The court scene was brilliantly written and acted such that Valery Legasov explains how an RBMK nuclear reactor works, how the accident occurred, whose fault and everything. The final epode of the series ends with Valery asking,

"And this, at last, is the gift of Chernobyl; where I once would fear the cost of truth; now I only ask: What is the cost of lies?"
