The KGB (the people following them) was the primary Soviet intelligence service. It's literally the equivalent of the CIA in the US except unlike the CIA (theoretically) it operates back home as well. So really it's a combination of CIA and the intelligence part of the FBI (which in the US, operates domestically). The buried them in concrete less to prevent people digging them up than to prevent their contaminated bodies from contaminating the ground. Normally, a buried body rots and is eaten by bugs and microbes who essentially return it to nature. We can't allow that here.

Wow, Spartan keeping expectations grounded for a grounded series, again showing S tier patience, lol.

Not sure how much you guys know about the KGB. KGB Stands for Committee for State Security. Similar to the CIA in terms of foreign intelligence gathering ( spy ), counter intelligence operations but also working inside the country suppressing dissident, nationalist and anti Soviet activities. Basically anyone spoke up against the Soviet Union, Communism, or raised voice against any member of the Communist Party was investigated and locked up/executed promptly. Their motto was "Loyalty to the party – Loyalty to the motherland". Like the old guy said at the beginning, the workers should be worry about their labors and leave the matters of the state...to the State. The guy Legasov was talking to at the meeting was the Chairman (leader) of the KGB. And as you could see in the first episode, long before they even arrived at the scene to assess the situation, never mind get any rescue effort going the KGB was already on the scene making sure the situation was "contained". Thats why they asked Legasov in the bar of the Hotel, if there is anything they should be worry about. Thats why Boris told the miners he have no idea if they will be looked after because that would mean admitting and least taking accountability for everything that happened. It's not up to him. He is a good man who learned how to play the game and doing everything he can. When the news broke out on an international level it was a disaster for both the KGB and also for the Soviet Union. Many historian says that Chernobyl played a big role in the collapse of the Soviet Union. Now knowing all this you will not find it surprising that the official number of casualties are minimal, they only count the people who died in the explosion or shortly after. I'm not even sure the firefighters are on the official casualty list. The hospital workers are definitely not, they dont even mention the miners or anyone who worked on the liquidation effort, those 750000 men they were talking about which you will see it was just as dangerous. The real numbers are well into the thousands but or possibly tens of thousands but thats still not counting the huge spike in babies being born with tumors and lots of people suffering from different cancers and stuff. Thyorid mostly. @Spartan You feel that way because this is a true story. Some events and characters are dramatized but the numbers they say are real, this stuff happened and they did their very best to suppress it as much as they could but it was too big to hide it and literally involved hundreds of thousands of peoples. BTW if you think this story have a happy ending you haven't been paying attention. Remember what Ramsey said. :)

Such a brilliant series, Chernobyl accident happened right before I left high school here in USA. I remember the endless news coverage, the scale & potential ramifications of the disaster were horrific. Really scary at the time. So many brave individuals we will never know about sacrificed everything to save millions of people & future generations. IMHO it's great when younger people like yourselves watch & learn about this. Same goes for Saving Private Ryan, etc. This is heavy material but important to learn about. Chernobyl triggered a lot of geopolitical changes we all live with today. Respect to you for taking it on.

Great reaction, guys! Again, I love that you guys use metric measurements and celsius, and you instinctively understand (for example) just how hot 50 degrees centigrade is. You pick up on a lot of things which the American reactors I’ve seen haven’t (for logical reasons). It brings an additional unique quality to your reactions. I’m 100 % with Spartan, I love the relationship between Boris and Valery, and the chemistry between Skarsgård and Harris is top-notch. They do such a great job together at making the relationship grow with time, from advesaries to bromance. Skarsgård had actually worked with Emily Watson (Ulana) before, and she apparently agreed to be in this mini-series because she wanted to work with him again. She’s also terriffic in every scene she’s in. I also love the mining crew chief. What a legend! Finally, the music by Hildur (my keyboard won’t let me spell her surname correctly so I won’t write it incorrectly). She won a well-deserved Oscar for ”Joker”, and (IIRC) an Emmy for this show.
