“the excellent show Chernobyl”

“The TV show pretends to be historically accurate, and many people believe that it is true.”

“the Western TV series Chernobyl sometimes misunderstood the Soviet era system”

“This series was utterly compelling to me, and had such amazing drama.”

“I don't defend the show as an academic, completely accurate documentary, because it isn't and never claimed to be.”

“the sum total strongly suggests more fiction than fact”

“I honestly don't see a problem with dramatization (not my taste, but people are different I guess).”

“I only recently watched this series and found it very entertaining. But I never expected it to be very accurate.”

“failed to mention the important ones, like the fact that the reactor caps couldn't bounce up and down”

“The author was explicit that he used composite characters and multiple sources.”

“its poor to non-existent storytelling surrounding the helicopter crews”

“To me the series just seemed like a rehash of the same movie tropes we've seen time and time again”

“I would have accepted that if it wasn't for Craig Mazin (the creator of the series) insistence that he stuck to the details and the truth in the series”

“invented personas, added tension where little existed”

“The post latches on small discrepancies, but somehow ignores the entire impetus of Legasov's tapes.”

“When you know it isn't, it takes quite a bit away from the premise.”

“it can lead to viewers thinking radiation sickness is something you can "catch" from someone else”

“It was a dramatic telling of a story. Creative licensing was in full effect.”
