Open Wide, O Earth (E03)

The pace slackens, but there is plenty of detailed information, a bunch of tough miners, and the relationship between Legasov and Sterbina, who gradually become a peculiar pair of inseparable amigos, is brilliantly portrayed. Of course, the raw authenticity and urgency with the hallmark of a real event still crushes everything in its path and pulls the quality high up. (16.06.2019)

I praised both previous episodes a lot, but the third part seemed even better to me. Once again, I have to commend the creators for the absolutely perfect atmosphere that elevates the series very high. While today's horrors seem rather funny to me, Chernobyl often gives me chills down my spine. And no matter what happened in the episode, the funeral with the pallbearer left the biggest impression on me. (18.08.2019)
