Vichnaya Pamyat

This series has done an amazing job of humanizing the Chernobyl disaster beyond stating the obvious tragedy that it was. One does not need to be a nuclear engineer to understand the emotional impact of Chernobyl and this miniseries has done a fantastic job at providing this to the viewer. Jared Harris gave an incredible performance as Legasov during the trial and showed how difficult his decision to tell the truth was. Beautiful acting and beautiful filming- the only bad thing is that this was the last episode of the series.

Astonishingly wonderful horrific real story. The trial scene with such an understandable explanation made this episode one of the best finale of a series. The cinematography and screenplay of this episode were top notch. The lies and politics behind the chernobyl disaster came out eventually. The truth was told atlast. Everyone who sacrificed their life for resolving chernobyl incident were the true heroes, respect and a salute to them.

Special thanks to the directors, writers and all technical crews who made this miniseries possible. I hope HBO continues to give us good series like chernobyl, peace.

I was really impressed by the script. Probably the best I have seen. "Why worry about something that will never happen?". You should put that in our money.

I loved the end and real text.

...is my favorite scene of the year, probably years. Two dying men showing audiences how beautiful life is.

"Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth.Sooner or later that debt is paid"

I believe this will be the most striking quote from Chernobyl. Despite having the least action and indirectly addressing casualties, this episode was the most disheartening. Sequence of Pryp'yat' images and narrative in the end with Vichnaya Pamyat (Soundtrack) evoke macabre memories.

However, what is more depressing is ; as humans our recent lies seem to be incurring more debts to the truth than ever. This trend is not likely to decline. Will we take overdue steps for salvation or will we keep telling lies? I naively hope for the former.

I commend everyone who took part in any stage of the production with utmost respect. I genuinely believe that anyone who watched the series gained an elevated level of awareness and it is priceless!
