It is fictional but very close to real events. The atmosphere made me shiver more than once. Unreserved recommendation!

I watched this on HBO in 2019. It led me to read some books about Chernobyl. I was reading one of them when the pandemic closings started here and then I wasn't as interested.
I have been watching
The Gilded Age on HBO (it is also on HBO Max) and like it despite all the trash talk about it. I have also been watching
Around the World in 80 days and 2nd season of
All Creatures Great and Small on PBS.
I watched S11 E6 of
Vera a few days ago. (Britbox) I love that series.
Also watching the documentary
We Need to Talk about Cosby on Showtime. I had forgotten about how wildly popular he was in the 1960s-90s. It goes in depth into all the positive and negative about his career. He had a Spanish Fly stand-up comedy (and on vinyl record) routine. It was as if he was leaving bread crumbs all through his career about drugging women. They showed him being interviewed by Larry King talking about Spanish Fly and how great it was. There have been 3 episodes on so far of 4.
