Jose Andres was food consultant on it. That was a major part of Season 1 and Season 2 […] it added so much to the show. Loved it, loved it, loved it. The part where Mason feeds the dogs his own face… Wow! The mushroom episode… Wow!
From Redditor u/sonom: Not a movie, but the HBO Chernobyl miniseries gave me chills.
From Redditor u/Turnbob73: It legit feels like a monster movie while you’re watching it, yet the monster is invisible and everywhere.
From Redditor u/cherrypowdah: The monster is lies.
#Chernobyl is one of the most beautiful, haunting shows I have ever watched. It deserves so many Oscars. Every performance, the writing, the make up, the cinematography, the music. Beyond words. #ChernobylHBO what a way to honor those who put their lives on the line pic.twitter.com/2xWbdUN9Mn
It's about hubris, as well. The older brother had every opportunity to swallow his pride and accept help, but he refused, and the result is tragic.
Well, I watched GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES and now I am a shriveled husk... Hard pressed to think of a movie more plain-faced but sensitive to the realities of devastation... https://t.co/kOalnBBAxV
