- Aaaand Chernobyl was both as depressing and as quality as I suspected it would be. With an added dollop of FRUSTRATION. The whole thing is written, acted, filmed and scored so well.
Jared Harris is excellent in everything he's in but I'm also excited to see Jessie Buckley! I first saw her on 'I'd Do Anything', a reality show where she was auditioning in front of Andrew Lloyd Webber to be the next Nancy in his Oliver! revival. She didn't win but she's certainly the most memorable and the most successful contestant from that show.
Apologies for my lack of radiation knowledge. I'm only a simple reactor. Not the nuclear kind. Still, I think that makes for a more surprising viewing!
I'm sure the next episodes are filled with irritating political manouvrings and shifting of blame. Also Stellan Skarsgard and Emily Watson!
Despite saying I don't remember much of the details, I really do love the Do Go On podcast so if you wanna listen to the Chernobyl episode, here it is: www.planetbroa...
Bye, I'm off to listen to the Chernobyl soundtrack!

Chernobyl 1x1 S01E01 REACTION Part 2 | Premiere Pioneer #7 - Розваги
You really need to continue this series. It's such an important story.
The thing the firefighter picked up was a piece of graphite block that is from the core. They have a hole in the center where the fuel rods are lowered down into. Pretty much the only thing there that could've been more radioactive would've been the fuel rods themselves.
Thankyou for informing me (politely too!) :)
Comparing this to current nuclear technology is like comparing a Tesla to the Model T.
Yeah they both roll but....
@hammertapping Damn boomers calling new technology trash
Jared Harris is great in The Expanse also.
I hope you watch the rest of Chernobyl, it's great.
I've been hoping to catch more folks reacting to this amazing series. I do hope you'll do the entire show. It is the best show I've seen in years.
Apparently it was filmed at Ignalina, a sister RBMK reactor that is being decommissioned.
Incidentally Ignalina is linked to the accident as something that happened to reactor 1 at Ignalina in 1983 foreshadowed Chernobyl and helped investigators figure out what went wrong. The following link explains it but if you haven't watched the fifth episode of Chernobyl yet don't read the link.

I've just discovered your channel and I'm really digging it. Keep them coming.
Thanks, pal. I'll be back recording tomorrow.
Hi Kiddo, Chernobyl was not the only Soviet Nuclear Accident and not the worst Soviet Nuclear Accident. Since 1950 the Soviet Union had 57 land based Nuclear Accidents. The worst of which more than doubled the release of Chernobyl. These, for the most part, were in desolate places and closed cities in Siberia and Kazakhstan. One accident was in Leningrad/ St. Petersburg! They also had releases of weaponized anthrax among other things that wiped whole villages off the map. I strongly recommend you watch a documentary called "The Russian Woodpecker" that shows Chernobyl was not an accident but a deliberate sabotage by the Soviets. I was in Western Europe and Downwind of this when it happened. We couldn't eat or drink any dairy or eggs from the Economy. We drank a lot of powdered milk and ate powdered eggs for a good four months.
Showing these technicians who were exposed to lethal doses of radiation on this series are tamed compared to actual images of them.
Some have bones and their skulls exposed due to radiation liquified their cells including skin. According to reports, management waited until late shift to run tests on the reactor with personnel who are not fully trained as day shift. But this is USSR before 1989 to 1991 collapse. This was considered as Level 7 before Fukushima Disaster in Japan. Continue watching the series.
I really hope you'll continue this amazing show
About the door the guy was holding open, and started to bleed from contact with it:
Metals can become radioactive by exposure to neutron radiation. This is called neutron activation. The exposed core on the other side of the door is a massive source of neutron radiation, making any other metal near it, radioactive itself.
WHAT!!!
I was supposed to start working, but ho boy, it's impossible now...
The grandest of all Juliettes in known history has graced us with yet another "masterpiece reaction"!
Sound the horns!
Beat the drums!
May your voices rings her praises as loud as trumpets!
😂😂
I love your hushed, whispering voice, it's like an ASMR equivalent of reaction videos
Try to remember, these guys made their decisions based on their training and what they knew because of it. An RMBK reactor could not explode, it was impossible. Nuclear power was so important to the Soviet Union that flaws and the like were hidden from knowledge as state secrets.
If you ever want to learn more about this, i'd suggest The Truth About Chernobyl by Gregori Medvedev, one of the lead scientists during the event. Even includes a short bit on 3 Mile Island to compare the western response to a minor event to the soviet response to a major event and how poor that soviet response was
One of the firefighters received such high dose of radiation,that his eyes changed color from brown to blue
Dyatlov was one of those rare people who seem to be inexplicably immune to radiation. He'd already been in at least one accident before this and survived just fine, although I think he did eventually die of cancer. Still, the guy was close to impervious, to the point that some people think his son died of the radiation he was exposed to decades before he did.
I'm loving this reaction so far, but then again I love all your reactions that I see.
Stay awesome pretty lady 😀
Also the thing about metal is that it "absorbs" neutron radiation for the lack of better explanation....neutron radiation is not ionizing radiation in itself, but it can "turn" other things like that door radioactive. Its also possible that the door was covered in radioactive dust and thus it was irritated/contaminated material
Excellent reactions. Probably the best channel I've seen so far.
You were exactly right. He had a piece of the core in his hand.
My pre watch comment:
Omg I'm really liking those dots around your eyes, and your outfit. Can only see the top, but I'm betting it all looks just as cool. Starting video in 1 2 3 le'go 😍
What he was touching, I believe, is a piece of Graphite, that was used to hold the uranium rods.
you cant compare the nuclear powerplants that we have today with the russian rbmk reactor. they are miles apart when it comes to safety. And you dont have the kgb who and the state who hides information about it for its workers. And there is really no other alternative with the amount of electricity that we use today, and the usage increases. If we were gonna use solar and wind, we would have such wast parks of it to come close. you need something like 3milj panels to generate the same power as a nuclear plant. And the blades arent even recyclable, so it is expensive as hell compared to nuclear.
Very glad to see you reacting to this. I loved your reactions to Band of Brothers. For a long time, Band of Brothers was the best miniseries I had ever seen. And then Chernobyl came along....
I would make two offers of shows I think you might like.
The Haunting of Hill House, a 10 episode series on Netflix.
Gentleman Jack, an 8-episode series by HBO and BBC.
Preacher,The Boys, The Expanse, Deadwood, Oz, Rome and Snowfall. Have a quick gander, Well worth your time.
Great real reaction 👍 It's really interesting to watch! Actors are amazing
I wonder how many wind turbines would be needed to replace one chernobyl type nuclear powerplant.
Skip to 3:41 if you don't wanna bother with my musings!
A couple of editing mistakes in this one but bahhh it's my birthday!
musings are why we watch "you" react .
Happy Birthday !!!!!!
Ps you will love the russian minners minning like their fathers and grand fathers.
Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday!
One thing you must remember when watching this. In the USSR, the state is the "truth". Nothing must undermine the state, at all costs...
after all any doubts that the system is less perfect than the west and why,,,, the people might reject the party and become more western.........
I too first saw Jared in Fringe. Since then I've seen him in Sherlock Holmes 2 (as Moriarty), The Terror and The Expanse. He's a brilliant actor, I highly recommend The Terror, which also features the firefighter from Chernobyl.
This show is soooo good. I’m glad you’re watching it!
Please continue this one. It is worth the heartbreak that it will cause.
Nuclear radiation is a phenomenon that is often counterintuitive. Alpha radiation, which does a huge amount of damage to living tissue, has a very short range and are absorbed by a small amount of air or water. This means that for some radioactive materials (uranium is a notable one), the dangerous radiation is confined very close to the material. In the episode, a firefighter picks up a chunk of unknown material. This is likely a piece of uranium fuel rod or perhaps control rod that is contaminated with uranium and other fission products. If a chunk of that is sitting a few feet away from you, it can cause some moderate risks over a long period of time. But if you touch it, your tissue absorbs a massive amount of radiation immediately. It is analogous to a white hot metal brand, except it would not feel hot. The firefighter picked it up, and within a short time the enormous amount of very short range radiation severely burned his hand. The scene is also well constructed to demonstrate that the firefighters had no idea what they were dealing with.
It was graphite from the core that he picked up.
Yes! I remember recommending this to you a while back. I'll assume you're doing it solely based on my recommendation. 😀
oh you're only watching the first episode?? there are only 5. here i am waiting to watch this and episode 2 together.. anyway, this is better than any show on the list and i havent seen the list.
Interesting fact: all the music in this series was composed by an Icelandic composer, who solely used sounds from a nuclear reactor in lieu of instruments.
Tovarischi! Very excited, it’s a great show! well, not great, not terrible..
To be brutally honest, the naysayers who kept denying something was wrong had a little bit of credibility when it came to their skepticism. Unless a very specific, very unlikely -- and by unlikely, I mean, you have a better chance at winning the lottery -- series of events happen in a very specific, unlikely order, a nuclear reactor with this design will not and cannot explode. It just won't.
Unfortunately, if those specific circumstances occur, the detonation of the reactor is pretty much guaranteed. And this night, all of those unlikely, unlikely circumstances happened in the precise order needed to cause the reactor to explode.
yeah radiation/contamination, exposure to that stuff and and radiation sickness is not an easy thing to grasp. if you have questions about it feel free to ask. i've work with commerical and military nuclear power.
It's a hard thing to grasp indeed. The way I got it was from thinking about UV light and getting sunburnt. It's a real life example of ionizing radiation that almost everyone can relate to.
You're just watching ALL the heart wrenching stuff, huh?
You should definitely watch/react to first episode of Westworld, if you havent already seen the show :) Definitely has one of the best first episodes ever made in any show.
And Chernobyl is also one of my favorite ever shows of all time, even if its just a mini-series, it was so darn well made.
The Russians have a point. The writing has a definite American Exceptionalist purpose of blaming communism and making American business ethics seem fine by comparison, rather than managerial corner-cutting and negligence in general. More people were killed by the Bhopal disaster when Union Carbide poisoned a whole city in India, under deregulated capitalist private enterprise. Nor was it communism which built unrepairable American designed nuclear plants around Japan's coastline ready to be broken by Tsunamis, with no plan for rendering Fukushima safe, and relentless discharging of irradiated water into the Pacific and hoping the world just forgets as the only action possible.
You aint seen nothing yet! Best TV Series in decades! Keep watching, all your questions will be answered eventually. It is all the more scary because it actually happened! The scenes in the control room are evidently accurate and are based upon interviews with the Controllers who survived. In some parts a bit of artistic licence has been used and others were cut because the Producers thought they were too horrific to show. Russia considers the show an insult to the Russian people, which is a little surprising as Chernobyl is in the Ukraine! Their version will blame it on a CIA agent who they say infiltrated the plant and caused the explosion.
You didn’t see graphite.
Can we get you reacting to Black sails, or season 5 of The Expanse?
Also what did you think of season 4 of Expanse?
chernobyl blew its top 23 days after i was born. hows that for haveing a birth month and year the same as the explosion.
Gret that you are watching it. Not many parts but a lot in each episode. Interestingly check on the producers track record of films and tv shows. All absolute rubbish until this which is quite surprising.
Edit.i see you mention this in the intro.
Haha glad you watched the intro!
Happy B-Day Juliette, enjoy your day...
What is wrong with Happy Feet?
Just remember that the show is dramatized and only shows general events while changing many details
That makes it sound like misinformation, the general accuracy of the show is spot on, the only glaring error is the portrayal of radiation as somehow being contagious.
Wow the director is doing The Last Of Us?! now I'm intrigued
Yes
3.6, Not great not terrible
OMG you doing this ..... welcome ... Huggz in advance.
Alot of this series is pure fiction, however, it's very well done and shows the horrors of what happened and tells the tale of true heroic ones that knew they were goners but went in anyway. Alot of people think this is a docu-series. Glad you are reacting to this!
You should review The Chosen, a Biblical telling of the story of Jesus through the eyes of the disciples.(The Chosen)
Всегда русский тагнут полотенце к себе.Что Милица Богдановна Йовович она русская но она украинка а не руская не нужна путать.В детстве Милла ходила в детский сад в Днепропетровске где я щас живу.
julies bae af
Why do you look so british?
so you've decided to have a bunch of big depressing cries... i mean react to Chernobyl
