I have not. Is this a documentary series?Anyone watching the miniseries on HBO? I always been interested with this story, but it's crazy watching what so many of those people went through. Definitely worth checking out.
Sorry.. I should've posted the trailer in the original. It's not a documentary and so far nothing on the animal population. After 2 episodes it's touched on the politicians and their 'mis' handling of such a catastrophe.. not sure how true to the actual events, but there seem to be only a select few who understand the gravity of the situation.

There was a TV series called "River Monsters" where they traveled around the world catching giant freshwater fish. They did have an episode where they got permission to fish in and around Chernobyl, even in the cooling ponds. They were trying to catch one of the giant catfish, there weren't any disfiguring mutations or any thing like that, but the growth was stunted and had high levels of radioactivity. The fish populations looked like they were doing well, numbers wise, but growth rates and lifespans have been affected.I have not. Is this a documentary series?
I find that region so very fascinating...
Do they get into how the local animal population have been faring?
I mean... they're there and thriving, but are there... things going on?
Nothing like movie stuff, but anything?
If not then... that's even more interesting!

Seems like I've seen a couple other shows that have gone there to examine wildlife and it was pretty interesting.
It was a great series, Jeremy (can't remember his last name) was a tough dude, the guy survived a plane crash, all kinds of tropical diseases, cuts, bites stings, hellish weather and conditions.I've enjoyed River Monsters!
I like that white-haired guy...
He did an episode over there? Oh...
Oh.
I am so finding this.
Good show. I'm watching this tonight.It was a great series, Jeremy (can't remember his last name) was a tough dude, the guy survived a plane crash, all kinds of tropical diseases, cuts, bites stings, hellish weather and conditions.
They had a tidbit about this topic on their podcast.I've watched the first 3 episodes and so far, it's been pretty good, but I didn't realize that Chernobyl was located in England. Or is there just an inordinately large population of English, Irish and Scots in Russia? It's a little weird to have so many with such heavy Brit accents when it's taking place in Russia.
Speaking on the show's official podcast, Craig Mazin said: "The decision not to use Russian accents was a big one that we made early on.
"We had an initial thought that we didn't want to do the 'Boris and Natasha' cliched accent because the Russian accent can turn comic very easily. At first, we thought that maybe we would have people do these sort of vaguely Eastern European accents - not really strong but noticeable.
"What we found very quickly is that actors will act accents. They will not act, they will act accents and we were losing everything about these people that we loved.
"Honestly, I think after maybe one or two auditions we said 'Ok, new rule. We're not doing that anymore."
add some ufo's causing it.I started to watch the first episode, because it looked amazing, but lost interest very quickly. How can you make a show about a nuclear meltdown boring, even while the plant is burning? I keep meaning to try again, but just don't have the urgency.
I love that guy...wish he'd go after the Loch Ness Monster.I've enjoyed River Monsters!

There ain't no hook and line to catch that beast, should it exist.I love that guy...wish he'd go after the Loch Ness Monster.
but he could do it tho....and you damn well better believe I'd watch.There ain't no hook and line to catch that beast, should it exist.
