Peter Sagal and Craig Mazin discuss the fifth and final episode of Chernobyl. Valery Legasov (Jared Harris), Boris Shcherbina (Stellan Skarsgård) and Ulana Khomyuk (Emily Watson) risk their lives and reputations to expose the truth about Chernobyl. On the podcast, Mazin exposes the truth about the finale. He compares the real show trial with the series's depiction, explaining where he took liberties and why. We’ll also hear from production designer Luke Hull about recreating the trial room. And finally, Sagal and Mazin talk about what’s happened since Chernobyl, and what they’ve taken away from this series.

Peter Sagals lack of self awareness makes his coming realization of his own participation in the state corruption more delicious.

such an amazing podcast #greenmonkey
is this series available on Netflix?
the courtroom scene where Legasov uses the blue and red cards to explain the sequence of disaster was brilliant. Ukrainian people, the world should never forget your heroic sacrifices for the greater good.
This bridge of death is legend, yes, many people stood there but nobody died from it.
I want to say I'm surprised that it took till 2017 for them to build a containment area around it, but considering the whole thing was a giant shitshow from the beginning, I guess I'm not. This was an excellent series and set of podcasts. I would love to see/learn more about things like this in the future.
This show is absolutely amazing. i hope we see more like it. I was young when this happened and we knew it was bad but really had no idea how bad it really was. I appreciate getting to know the stories about the people involved. thank you so much...... standing ovation!!
at least the Russians did what needed to be done to stop and contain this disaster no cost to high,unlike the Japanese look at Fukushima 8 years and it's still not cleaned up it's a joke
I live in Russia in a region, that is still cosidered influenced by that catastrophe. And we haven't even been taught about it in school. We knew the reactor blew up. And that's literally all the info we were given. So I'd lake to thank (again) the creators of this show, who made people remember and reseach this incident, who made people speak, and ask questions, and truly think about the government that had ruled the USSR, and is ruling now. Because nothing has changed since then. The government is still lying to us about everything, and the main principle of doing things is still "the cheaper the better"
Wonderful podcast and miniseries. I learned so much.
Amazing, all amazing! Thank you for the podcast and the show.
Can you imagine if those people hadn't given their Iives and the truth never came out. Those other plants could have destroyed the whole continent, if not worse
excellent show and podcast, my only complaint is that it's over. This show made me realize how many people sacrificed themselves not only for their country but this could have been a world wide catastrophie had it not been managed by the many underlings while the big wigs did nothing but spew their bullshit from far away safety.
This serie deserves to be seen worldwide. My highest respect to the creator and director, for keeping sensationalism under control and honoring those who suffered and died. Chernobyl, the miniseries, is a beacon of human decency.
Totally, terrifying, mesmerizing. Bravo to Craig Mazin and Peter Sagal. The show and podcast are not to be missed.
Amazing
