“The Happiness of All Mankind”

Chernobyl has been just an amazing show so far. Four tragic episodes that showed the horrible events that happened in the Soviet Union and the Soviet’s attempts to fix the problem without admitting to any problems.

We got a new arc here too as Barry Keoghan appeared as a soldier who joined a couple of others to shoot the animals of the infected area This was very tough as they were killing several pets, dogs, cats and a painful scene with puppies, and then taking the bodies to bury beneath cement. Keoghan’s character had never done something like this and the anguish of the situation was obvious. This was a rough part of the episode, but provided some amazing character moments.

Then Boris went to town on the phone.

I called the line that he would say afterwards, “We need another phone.” Boris was angry with the Kremlin because they were not being helpful. The explosion of frustration made for a brilliant scene.

Then, when the robots could not do what they needed, they recruited people to do it. Oh goodness.

This has been unbelievable and I wonder how accurate the series is to the truth.
