I want to listen to songs from Thom Yorke's first solo album after each episode.

I can't get this shit out of my head. I've read it only gets more horrifying the next few episodes

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about it all day. I’m watching The Americans simultaneously, and it’s a good segue.

I need to start watching this. And The Americans is so fucking good

Do it, comrade. There's even a Peter Sagal recap podcast!

Yeah, so, uh: radiation sickness is no joke.

I haven't watched the third ep yet. Tonight, hopefully. Was there another podcast for it?

Just watched the first episode and this is pretty intense.

Yeah, I am excited. There are certain parts of the story that I've read about that I'm very excited to see depicted. I won't spoil any of them, but I will mention them here when/if they come up.
Unlikely that we would see a Twin Peaks: The Return, Part 8 caliber event in this mini series, but I'm still crossing my fingers for something like that.

Hey, I was close-ish.

The creator of the series, Craig Mazin, has an incredibly interesting resume. He is credited as writing 2 of the "Scary Movie" movies, 2 of the "Hangover" movies, and the currently-filming "Charlie's Angels" reboot. Then there's Chernobyl. What a world.

The way y'all are carrying on it sounds like I should check it out after the holiday.

I refer you to Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman.

I appreciated that they waited for a half hour before implicitly blaming Lenin for the cover-up.
