    If we’re talking about the HBO show, then calling it a documentary is just straight up wrong in the first place.

    It’s a “based on real events” TV drama that never claimed to be a rigorous retelling of the catastrophe.

    There are a ton of immediate differences to reality that anyone even vaguely familiar with soviet history would notice.

      I really wish they made that clear though, the show tries very hard to make you believe that’s the real story.
