This TV Show is a life lesson. They could make a Documentary with a narrator, you'll know the exact same story. But will it be this effective? Absolutely not!
They've managed to do a unique job. You are experiencing the event nearly as those who really did. Sadly this event was a terrible accident. You're thinking the cause of this some arrogant guy. But actually the whole thing is started with a simple lie. I bet you can't forget the line "Every lie we debt to the truth, sooner or later that debt is paid." because it perfectly fits for the situation. This TV show is not your usual "Based on a True Story" type of TV show. You're not watching a TV show based on an event. You're just experiencing it, with it causes, problems and all.
And to bring that realistic atmosphere, you should make the best technical details.
The Art Direction & Set Decoration is just way beyond perfect. This brings so much detail to the story, visually after Cinematography this is the most important thing in a TV Show or a movie. They've managed extraordinary, beyond perfect, revolutionary job in this.
Cinematography is also quite amazing. Lightning, color grading, angels, movements are just perfect.
Costume design is also perfect, nearly everything is perfect after all we're watching a high budget HBO serie. But makeup is beyond perfect, how you managed to do that? I don't know what you think but I found that makeup so effective!
Acting performances are also great. Well chosen actors takes your attention for real. Nearly every character chosen well. Legasov, Boris, Khomyuk, Dyatlov and even more. How can they find those amazing actors that fits so perfectly for the character?
