The amazing thing about this is that you almost immediately forgo the notion that this is a TV production being filmed somewhere else with special effects and actors. Skaargard is amazing as always.
Another reason to get HBOMax and maintain it. It's more expensive, but I can't point to one Netflix production that's as well done as this series.
I don't think I ever got to the point of suspending disbelief; there were a few too many hollywood-esque "focus on the gauge doing something dramatic" moments, which in reality would've been neither so quick nor so clear.
I can accept that; requiring the audience to be nuclear physicists wouldn't make for good storytelling. But it meant that watching things unfold, it was all just a bit too straightforward, a bit too dramatic.
Still, I think they struck a good balance. I'm an awful viewer and if they catered to me, a lot more people would've found it unwatchable. It was still breathtaking in its scope and remarkable in 99% of its accuracy, and told a story that very much needed to be told, at the right time for a generation of upcoming leaders who didn't live through it the first time around.
Might have to pick this up just to support them. Doing good work should be lucrative.
