The series finally finished airing where I live.
What a fantastic series, I had already read a few articles regarding the event due to personal curiosity, and because in some smaller cities you can still find "denuclearized zone" signs from the 80's, as a response to the newfound fears of nuclear energy caused by the disaster.
(which has led to the closure of all nuclear power plants in my country, for better or for worse).
My father even told me that at the time he took some iodine pills as precaution against the contaminated clouds, even though we live more than 1500 kms away from it (Italy), but apparently the clouds reached us anyway! Truly scary stuff.
