It deserves it. There wasn't a single minute of the episode that wasn't amazing in some way. The courtroom scene and the accompanying flashback is likely one of the most well-made bits of television... ever.

There was at least one African liquidator. He is still alive today:

There WAS a black soldier in Chernobyl, and he is Russian (PHOTOS)
Criticism of HBO’s Chernobyl for not casting ‘people of color’ may have caused fallout on social media, but it turns out at least one of the Russian liquidators of the 1986 nuclear disaster was in fact black.

They did cast a black guy. He was the one that went right, looked over the edge, and stuck his foot under the graphite.

I loved the show, but...

If this article is true I'm a little disappointed in the accuracy of it.
Why HBO's "Chernobyl" Gets Nuclear So Wrong
If Hollywood ever decides to tell the true story of nuclear it won’t need to resort to sensationalism.

I saw her site back when it was new and it was one of the first that went into the area and posted all the pictures.
Before it was all opened up to tourists people went there photographing the area. They moved stuff around to add to the scene like moving gasmasks and childrens dolls and shit.
You'd have though that common sense would dictate that you don't move anything just in case. All that shit in the hospital basement that the firefighters wore for example.
Apparently people were going there for years and years to find shit to steal even though it was all cordoned off - Guess a bribe to someone and you could just drive right in and out.
You must be in a bad spot in life if you're prepared to steal shit from Pripyat of all places.

People were stealing scrap metal to sell, presumably the less radioactive shit.

That article is overly harsh.
Mazin took some artistic license but the show is critically acclaimed and was well executed. It told the story it was trying to tell, quite successfully.
Radiation contamination IS contagious in a general sense. Once an object is exposed and or contaminated, it absolutely can lead to further exposure.
And the only "bleeding" from radiation happens once your skin begins to fall off. Anyone who was shown bleeding at the plant during the disaster was scalded with steam or suffered injury from explosive debris.

it's overly harsh, b/c the writer has an agenda
first off he's weird as fuck, a sanfran hippie that is an ADVOCATE for nuclear power
so there's heavy bias
a commonsense hippie? sure why not

It looks like the combination of many agendas plus Soviet incompetence/cover up makes it pretty hard to say for sure how many people actually died but I'm thinking the WHO estimate of around 4000 is probably closer than the 90K+ that some people estimate.

I don't think anti-nuclear was the intention of the show either, but based on anecdotal Facebook posts I've seen it seems it's had that effect unfortunately. People have to see how many monumental fuckups had to occur for Chernobyl to even happen. This was over 30 years ago. How many nuclear power plant issues have occurred since?
