Is *CHERNOBYL* a Masterpiece?! Episode 1 | Reaction/Review

well guys as you all know IMDb is our base is our glorious King for deciphering to some degree how good a show is we base and to some degree to some degree we don't base everything off IMDB ratings but we have found we are so familiar with IMDb that when we see a rating from it we can kind of guess more or less in what range we're going to get from the show The Dark Knight is without question not the Third best movie ever made absolutely not have you ever watched a 99 episode from MB that wasn't just absolute Cinema no you know what I mean not yet true not yet but no if you're new to our Channel you'll see that like the more we watch other shows like we are constantly and you if you're if you've been around we always are checking IMDb well it's actually the reason why I even wanted to start the channel in the first place was based off of IMDb the top 100 yes cuz I remember before we ever started ever doing reactions on YouTube you know like we were going through we were going through the IMB like just like the top movies and kind of shows a little bit but more so movies working our way down and it was just you know we were watching all the old classics and we were like wow there's so much good stuff out there a year of just Peak Cinema and then like i' look we look at the shows and there'd be like just like Game of Thrones and Attack on Titan which just like I I was just like what what is this like there's no way there's this many 99 anyways so yeah all roads lead here Chernobyl I been seeing this on the list for years now isn't the lowest rated episode a 92 I think it's like a 94 it's only five episodes sure Noble is this like a documentary or is it going to be like a like a more is it going to be like more documentary style mean is it more like Oppenheimer style like I don't know what I'm expecting pretty much the only thing that every single one of us on this couch knows is it's about nuclear something and it's about being a goated show in a episode that's really it I'm looking at this dude in a trench coat spraying some bugs I'm excited though I'm actually extremely excited there's always been some part of me that wanted to watch it just just purely because of its status amongst works of art so I've always wanted to watch it but at the same time I'm curious because I don't this this isn't the most intriguing thing ever Chernobyl a nuclear something it's not like the most intg thing ever it really isn't peing my interest but the only thing peing my interest is the imdp ratings like dead yeah is it going to be Happ and scard probably not going to be happy comment comment if you'd want us to do like a a Geck hot take video I think that'd be fun like just our hottest takes ever we like we all have three hot takes just be Carter talking for 50 minutes what's it called love death robots it's totally chill it's not that we mistake them for the truth what can we do then in these stories it doesn't matter who the heroes are all we want to know is who is to blame in this story it was anat DLo diof will spend the next 10 years in a prison labor camp of course the sentence is d unfair and as for what the atov did do the man doesn't deserve prison he deserves death oh like I thought Anatolia is the one getting all the orders and all that it doesn't Matter's a philosopher like this guy is what doesn't matter is that to them the just world is a San World there was nothing Sayan about CH good we this is such a cryptic start dude holy crap you'll try your best you just know this is going to come back around every very last episode jeez I thought maybe this would be like the cold war but I was in 1944 well the Cold War was for like 40 years it started I guess so yeah I guess you're right we're both right yes she about to get shot so sus right now is that the car that was watching him or is the car that's what I'm trying to figure out did he put the recording in that little yeah I think so those six tapes is there six episodes is each tape going to be an episode that' be cool yeah he knows he's going to die he just put out six plates of food a bomb or something why am I so uptight right now it's a music y that's what m would do she'd stare you right in the eyes dang is there going to be an intro do you think or is it just too so freaking that's what I was thinking oh shoot dude they're going to get radiation poisoning was that not the the nuke [Music] [Applause] yet what just happened you toed it off you morons blew the tank no that's stop this is the emergency everyone stay calm our first priority it exploded you get the backup PPS running with need water moving through the C that it's all that matters there is no call the stack is burning I saw it you're confused rvmk react calls don't explode aim off what you're saying can't explode it has to be why am I so like shell shock now fireade see like realizing how screwed they are [Music] [Music] I feel like they doing something good job of like building this tension and this suspense it doesn't look right sketchy CED Tower so it's going to burn all night s oh no This Guy's in the fire brigade dude that's scare me radiation dude for show well but the guy said he deser the guy said he deser die to yeah last oh I got I thought there were two people look on locked in safe I don't have a key he's in 604 are they like getting radiation poisoning and they don't know it I think well I think they know it oh dude oh that'd be the worst just being in there knowing that why are you doing that why is everyone being so cryptic and no one's answering question knows what the freak's going on I wonder how they even know all this you know what I [Music] mean holy gosh is that from the poisoning or from the explosion do you guys think from the poison exposion no I'm saying this specific the super bloody guy yeah yeah I think they're all getting I mean probably already said the train is down for reactor lower than by hand what about the PS the lines are down get out sure pumps are all now would you just refuse cuz don't you just know that that's going to kill you say 3.6 that's as high as I he's like it could be higher I want to know what actually happened gosh dang it so you guys don't think like the actual nuke has gone off right you can see where it went off I don't know if it's actually nuke but it's like like the reactor is going to explode wa I mean that's pretty big actually that explosion how do you even get allity what's this I don't know the Val the Val is it is it just going to be burning his hand we need to get into the reactor hle to lower the control rods with the doors CH I don't think there are control rods keov said he saw you know what I mean the water help get oh my gosh that is nuts that would be horrible his glove well yeah it's insane bro wow what is he doing he St I think the door's going to shut his face dude look at their faces oh what the heck you see how red he was yeah oh no he's cooked oh dude so you don't think there's going to be another explosion even looking at that I mean that thing looked like it was about to or is that just radiation just leaking out making should go could be dangerous what do you mean dangerous it's a fire it's over there over here yeah did you say it was bad no he said it was just he's never gotten hurt before none of the boys have oh my gosh bro that was crazy in live time just see that guy's face just freaking do this definitely stop did you lower the control rods or not be water is mar contaminated it'll be fine I've seen this guy is we haveone line to the outside we have to keep water FL being irri mechanics we need bodies well they're all I think he just knows that they're all dead anyways dude I don't know if I can make things better for you but I can certainly make them worse oh my what I keep thinking of is just like the cover of the show dude where they're in those freaking hazmat suits oh he's calling in more people yeah so there's going to be more people to die they doing fine how's it downstairs quiet always is nothing at this but babies well I need in here for a while if you want get some rest in the break room they haven't brought anyone in from the fire you mean disinfectant no pills does the hospital stop hiding pills hiding pills why would we have hiding pills she going to say radiation from radiation of course I want you to call him if I'm up he's up fact here he is yeah there's the guy I'm up car's up you mean is this the Scar Guard guy no I just think this is the guy that from the beginning he does this is only a year and a month earlier or a year and a second 2 years 2 years and 1 minute the the important thing is that neither you nor I this going to this is us taking our break in the middle of the 12-hour Naruto bench I think maybe it was like a top secret thing it seems like it's taking the safety test was a failure we have the situation under control under control no one can blame me for this director panov of course no one can blame me for this how can I be responsible I was sleeping shift Chief I off and engineer toed and off had a technical difficult diffculties leading to an accumulation of hydrogen and a control system tank of course uh WD chief engineer di was directly supervising the test what about radiation obviously down here is nothing but in the reactor building I've been told 3.61 we have to live sh just 6 hours at a time but otherwise the symmetri should be checking regularly so they think that the only radiation is from the water they only think it's so tiny they're so stupid no but it's they think it's from water going through the they're going to get the they're going to get the good one out the good it's going to be like 8. now it's going to be super power cold Gass fire justs isn't at the nuclear power plant darn it yeah they're going to yeah that's so beautiful this freaking people's faces going to start getting that's the stuff that was flowing up out it's like the debris that's just go it's like asck every one of these people are going to get sick and go to the hospital I guarantee that hospital is going to overflow in the next 15 minutes of screen time not me building a I'm going to build a bunker 100t under ground so terrible how are there more guys going down here just die door I guess cuz they just get their orders and they just no one has gas masks or anything any kind of mask at all his face doesn't look that bad but it's his body uhoh it's going to start burning in you know what's crazy there might be a chance that like all that radiation in the sky caused it to rain bro dude the cover of the show is just so oh is it the water oh is it just a fire out from the perimeter need stop making our way to the roof's wrong with that this sucks man they're all just trying to do their jobs oh making a seat I think it evacuated he's trying to make it seem like it's l than oh this guy's so cooked no oh isn't the reactor like right there think that's going to do anything Jack I think he's going to literally look at the reactor right now and just start dying what about the O pumps electrical gone cor we have to open the vs s what do you want bis if is true that theread a million people have that his opportun need here it's just crazy how the radiation's the threat the core is still there and it doesn't cool down it's literally going to like explode well I think that guy in the beginning already W like already had radiation poisoning remember that Bloody rag that he had on his desk the dude with the glasses in the very beginning they could just book it leave f survive but at the same time like they're the ones that work here they're the ones Manning it guess we know what the anyone say what happen they're running the safety test in turbines second wants us to use the good Senor but it's a safe and the key building too oh my gosh they're going to pull it out it's going be like 10 and been sitting there for 3 hours room apologize for the less of the hour is that the as you can see we experienced an accident a large control tank malfunction damaging reactor building 4 because the Central Committee has the greatest respect for the work of the priv executive committee second because the efforts of the Soviet nuclear industry are considered Key State Secrets it is important between two and 4,1 what's really going on here how dangerous is this us burs there's more radiation than they're saying we have wives here we have children I say we Evacuate the town bov the air is glowing the tanov effect completely normal phenomenon can happen with minimal radiation this guy's speaking fast this gu's the only one who dude diov is a freaking bumb we will call it you Noble of course what is its real name the Vladimir I Lon nuclear power station is that not the purpose of the apparatus of the state sometimes we forget dialogue is cooking in the show sometimes we fall PR of fear the state tells us the situation here is not dangerous have faith come it's true when the people see the police they will be afraid they should Simply Be told to keep their minds on their labor we seal off the city said stay in your lane no one leaves and cut the phone lines just dooming all right now yes what the we will all be rewarded for what we do here tonight I was so psycho cut the phone lines seal the city he knows I was so s they had the real yeah he had the real thing the real device come on I want to hear this number from the safe the one with a capacity what was the number there was none what typical send Sho equipment the wers why things go wrong we found another they just can't believe it it maxed out 200 Ro it's another 14 me you're wasting my time I check me are against the control how do they not like how do they not believe it that's what I like why I think there's graphite on the ground in the you didn't see graphite oh my gosh they gaslighting the [ __ ] because it's not there they just cannot they literally cannot believe it or they're going to silence him they're going to silence him you're nuclear engineer is there literally just no answer that's actually crazy I guess it's like unbelievable cuz according to their current science itys this must be like 2+ 2 is 5 dude like that crazy I'll see with my my own yep yep I knew it get to the medical the hospital whatever he needs whatever show is so I mean the thing is the thing is though is that the guy with the glasses he's also like he's also denying it as much as deav is it's suicide it's suicide course you will I'd rather have him shoot me I'd resign dude right there no I quit I don't think you can take me to fre jail too but like you're still stuck why not at least give the man a freaking mask they not have protected suits this how they not protected suits that's a lot of vows holy [ __ ] that's so many vows what if their hands get wrecked all the way up I told you there been nothing wrong think he did something wrong didn't he what did they do yeah what they do did they actually do something wrong thank goodness it's starting to be like daylight oh my gosh it's the ash on man just run get in there and get out oh that's the core right there what was that smoke well makes sense where that debris was that was the was graphite I think he picked up in his hand oh he's so red it might have been one of the wives oh no silly into the air and just affect like everything way to go oh he actually made it back wow are they just telling him no you're wrong you're wrong this is the lady oh it's a hospital lady so many ambulances doctor's like I stayed up for 2 days like she's about to stay up for cuz who well that was his cat yeah that was definitely his cat okay yeah this is the same actor chairman of the Council of ministers and head of the for fuel energy there's been an accident the power control system TCH and the core we them to continuously PP water yes I see any contamination that's actually significant you should Evacuate the on all reactors exive me but you think given the about of radiation that it I you're on thise Drawn questions about the function of re I would never help them dude don't say no you don't say no in this line of command just don't yeah if they the culture bro they lie to him like he thinks it's fine like 3.6 whatever he's like oh okay oh their hands their hands like swollen up oh that's crazy is that like the sun coming in through the radio no dude I think that's the trees dying kill the radiation from the where the smoke is going well they can't even they won't even let you remember they're city they're literally just trying to oh radiation nuts what a crazy freaking dude wow dang that was so good what are all these next ones going to be about it's like scary how real this is bro yeah dude this show is cooking right now already off EP so one it's like there's only five I don't know it's weird because it's something that I have no knowledge of something that this really how it went down like it sounds really um yeah dude look if it if it blew up in New York this newest bomb like the immediate radiation is a 25 mile radius but then it says radioactive plume traveling Northeast shows they would extend into Northern Massachusetts from New York just like yeah I think that's like a couple states away that's like the that's like the Massachusetts is like one no but that's like the Nevada St George S I saying I know I'm just saying it's crazy yeah no it is crazy it's uh it's what is the word it sounds really dumb of me it sounds really naive and really um ignorant ignorant of me to say that I before watching this I just don't really care that much about like this subject like I I don't know anything about it or the the tragedy of this event the tragedy of Chernobyl I don't know anything about I hav't really heard of it so yeah it sounds really stupid to me but it's true I'll admit but instantly like they've got me car out all these all these Russians from like 50 years ago it's like we would be you know dude I just love the way they uh I love the way they crafted that episode with like the shots and like the tension building and the the cryptic like feel and Vibe and everything it was just so so good the show is just setting us up for sadness though because there's no way it's going to be a happy ending because we already know what happens yeah and finding details of the tragedy but it's still going to just be a I can't see how it so infuriating how they don't believe too how they're they broken a thousand roken scale and they're reporting 3.6 mustel I know it's just crazy to think that they're like oh let's like let's let's cut the phone lines to stop missing information when they're giving the most in misinformation about like what's going on of all time like I was actually trying to think of like what could even be told to us that we would like never believe in a million years and I can't even like think of it they'd rather sacrifice a state to like keep it a secret than like try to save lives it's crazy serly it's just crazy man it just it just it's it's funny it's like the white walkers in Game of Thrones when like they don't believe it they're like no it doesn't exist I'm like they stop like it it does exist you're you're stupid and it's like these people are like it's just how the just made people go look at it control it happened during the middle of the night which was the worst time ever because there was nobody there they didn't have that freaking Doomer thing ready to like the good one it happened at the wor time a military grade one yeah then they 200 I don't think the timing mattered though because they just blamed it on Moscow they're like oh leave it to Moscow to S us well no I'm just saying like they didn't have the right people there they didn't like CU during the middle of the night they to wake up all their workers all firemen they had to bring in during the middle of night the only going was a morning worker and he comes in I wonder what something wrong happened until you can actually like I'm actually curious to see why this guy hung himself like if he's like clearly not there I want to watch the next one I think that the guy killed himself yeah cuz I think he's like the only person who know he's like hiding his he's hiding his tapes because you know the state I think the state will come back around and like they will want to protect the information as much as they can it's actually crazy though like he's probably super far away and in two years he like looks like he's in shambles well yeah that's probably why they made the shows because it was supposed to be like a big huge secret and then it got revealed who knows when and then they had to make a show about it CU it's like a huge like reveal I don't know when the events of this got revealed but I think we've known about it for a long time but maybe not think about it if these tapes are 1988 so the tapes probably got out if that's even true never know we don't even know if these tapes this guy had to kill himself to hide that information like you never know I don't know we don't even know if this tapes thing is true we don't even know yeah I don't know anyways really good first episode
