minus-squareRenacles@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up39·4 months agoIt’s a great show but it’s also all bullshit pretty much, it only follows the broad strokes of the real story.
minus-squareMentalEdge@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up65·edit-24 months agoIf we’re talking about the HBO show, then calling it a documentary is just straight up wrong in the first place. It’s a “based on real events” TV drama that never claimed to be a rigorous retelling of the catastrophe. There are a ton of immediate differences to reality that anyone even vaguely familiar with soviet history would notice.

3.6. Not great, not terrible.
