Alan Sepinwall on the best TV shows of 2019 so far — from meta-sitcoms to real-life disaster miniseries
, the story of the 1986 meltdown at a Soviet nuclear power plant seemed too bleak and horrifying to endure at a time with its own abundant horrors and injustices in the news … so I bailed after the first episode.
But when I worked up the nerve to return, what I found was less an accounting of smug bureaucrats making things worse, but of scientists , politicians , coal miners, soldiers, and more willfully risking their lives to limit the tragedy’s impact. A meticulous, plain-spoken, unbelievably poignant tale of an unsolvable problem being attacked from all sides by people who understood what greater horrors would be unleashed if they didn’t.
