Overall, the mini-series covers the events well enough and captures the important moments of the Chernobyl disaster. However, the british actors struggling to call each other by Russian names kind of ruined the mood for me. Some of the characters seem exaggerated, to make it more appealing to the larger public, I guess, but it didn't particularly appeal to me.

Dark is probably the best tv show that I have ever watched. The story is captivating, well connected and well planed, although it can be a bit hard to follow in the beginning or after a long pause. The casting / hair / make-up are brilliant, making it easier to follow the characters at different ages. The sound and image help build the dark, suspenseful atmosphere. The characters are complex and their development is interesting to follow. Overall, everything falls into place in just the right way.

Although Brad Pitt was good and the movie was artsy, it was not worth watching. There is no plot, just a random combination of scenes from various well-known sci-fi movies that make no sense together.
