Chernobyl

Because I'm a hypocrite who doesn't want to make this blog too negative, let me mention - and recommend - the bleakest and most depressing TV show I've ever watched.  Chernobyl.  Don't get me wrong, it's a really good show - a really great show in fact - but it ain't a happy one.  But it is also a fascinating one - about an event that most of us know the name of but actually know very little about.  It's also the very first telly show I've watched where I've listened to a podcast by the creator after each episode - and that works really well because it goes into detail about what really happened and what really didn't.  Certainly doesn't make things any less scary.  Highly recommended.
