Andrew K Sep 30 Tends to exaggerate details and make this incident look far worse then it was, causing a fear against Nuclear Energy, all because Netflix wanted to have a show like HBO's Chernobyl, a show that actually is a good watch.

See more 07/24/2022 Overly dramatic, over-drawn and one-sided. While it was interesting to learn about the sequence of events, it only contained 1-hour of content spread over four episodes. Because it only focused on the accused bad behavior of the power company, Nuclear Reg. Comm., and Bechtel (engineering company that did the clean-up), it comes across as a hit piece on nuclear power. This event was way too important to frame and present as a "good vs. evil" story. Life isn't that simple, and how we supply electricity to our society today is way too important an issue.

Slightly, but when the people refering to actual scientific studies are depicted as wrong and even villians, and the normal fearful civillians are depicted as the ones properly being right (despite them obviously not knowing how radioactive material works). It becomes rather clear that this "documentary" isn't trying to shred more light on the accident, but really just trying to sell a certain stance. That being a very anti nuclear power stance. This is espicially sad, since it could easily have been made much more neutral, or perhaps even showed normal people, that nuclear power has the potential to be an enormous force for good, and even help solve the energi crisis of the future, and that the problems with nuclear power was a result of peoples irresponsibility, and not the technology itself. The fact that the "documentary" fails to paint this picture is honestly a bit surprising, given that Richard D. Parks himself shares this understanding... See more Read all reviews
