    From the HBO show Chernobyl. It's really well made and worth watching.

    I've never seen a more accurate depiction of my typical experience in a professional environment. "Nobody wants to speak up or handle things correctly because someone senior with direct responsibility for your employment shouted down any dissent because they want to meet a metric" is apparently a timeless experience.

    I first watched it on an airplane. Swapping between the seat screen and my phone. Great show. Can't wait to watch it again someday

    Then I watched it on a big(?) ((I guess 60inch?) TV at home. Great show. Let's make sure I'm in the right mental space before I rewatch the show...)

    mild spoilers for history I guess

    The hospital scenes on a much bigger screen. Seeing the (I know its all dramatised) impact of lies on a bigger screen really affected me.

    The show was very well done, but it implies this was history. That mass of reactor is still burning underground, and Russian bombs have damaged the sarcophagus covering it. The remaining reactors are still in use.
