Please Remain Calm

Greetings from Lithuania.

I won't call second episode of "Chernobyl", named "Please Remain Calm" a masterpiece only because i think masterpiece should only apply to a thing of fiction. "Chernobyl", a new brilliant HBO series is anything but fiction. If you are looking for a new HBO replacement of "Game Of Thrones" with blood, love, sex, sci-fi and etc with some plot twists - "Chernobyl" is as far place as you can search for.

I was born in Lithuania, 788 km (489 miles) from Chernobyl, 5 months before the explosion. I remember my mom told me years later of how she kept me inside of our house when news broke out about the incident broke.

Overall, "Chernobyl" is a simply perfect series for those who are looking to see a truth about true event. Everything, and i mean everything in this show speaks true to its time, place, regime and people. Its a damn perfect series so far.

Chernobyl will be awarded with my first review of anything.

I can't point out a single negative fraction on what i've witnessed so far in this miniseries. After finishing the first episode i recommended it to all my close ones and not a single one was dissapointed.

Here's why i think this series stands out from the rest. Firstly the topic is widely discussed, Chernobyl was often a topic brought up to me growing up since it provokes a sense of mystery and thrill. People are interested in disasters, especially when it's nothing we've ever heard of before.

Visualizing the drama and the terror it all feels very genuine and realistic, as viewers we are truly immersed in the 1980's Ukraine. The acting is spot on, the score/ambience is both beautiful and haunting. I've seen scenes from good series where the music is misused and sadly brings down the quality of the scene. In Chernobyl they amazed me every time. The visuals and the audials flows and strengthens each other which keeps the audience constantly interested and on edge.

The second episode surpassed my expectations with ease, if this isn't it then i don't know what the next milestone in cinema is going to be (even though it's a miniseries). The evacuation and ending both left me in shock and even brought a tear to my eye. If the consistency holds throughout the series which i'm certain it will, this will definately be a flawless work of art.

10/10

From start to finish, the episode flows very nicely with its haunting score and wonderful cinematography. The acting is flawless and reveals how hectic the whole situation is. I absolutely loved the ending, it puts you on edge of your seat. This is the real deal, well done HBO

There are no two ways about it, Chernobyl is the best show on TV right now. Just two episodes in, and it is perfect in its storyboarding and acting.

A strong premise brimming with sustained tension along with powerful performances by Jared Harris, Stellan Skarsgård, and Emily Watson, draw you in and don't let you go until the very end.

Fellow Game of Thrones disappointees, drown your sorrows with this one!

What is so terrifying is it's not trying to be a horror programme, it's what actually happened. It's not gratuitous... it's what happened. And it's scarier than any horror movie I could ever call to mind. There are scenes where my blood ran cold, where I felt queasy but most of all I was just horrified by the scenes that depicted those first on the scene. You always look for the helpers in any disaster. But what if the disaster overcomes the helpers. What if even the strongest of us are no match for the horrific event. It's almost unthinkable. But it happened here. This will stick with you long after the credits roll. As it should.
