Another major new talent to emerge in the last few years. The narrative begins with a dinner party, a couple leave their child to go next door, taking the baby monitor and checking in every half hour. Not enough to prevent a nightmare unravelling. This is a psychological thriller that pulls you into the worst possible situation and drags you through a multitude of twists and turns. The tag line, ‘People are capable of almost anything’ really doesn’t prepare you for the shocking revelations within the pages. It leads you to question how well you know those around you and how much stress it takes to push people to the edge.

Gaiaroo (9 KP) rated Chernobyl in TV

History Revisited (0 more)
A must-watch Documentary - Drama
An excellent insight into what happened at Chernobyl Nuclear Powerplant which has opened up my interest in the subject and made me read more into the characters /history etc.

The suffering that followed in the wake of the disaster is mind blowing though the 'official' recorded death toll is only around 35 people.

A must watch for young and old though some seems are upsetting / distressing.

Although the team of scientists who supported after the incident were mainly depicted by one character in the series, the bravery of those people is inspiring and should not be forgotten.

Untouchable is a documentary film about Harvey Weinstein being a dirtbag. The whole situation is still highly disturbing, and the fact that the harassment/abuse was being covered up is disgusting. I found it interesting that people had been reporting it, and nothing was done.
My favorite interviewee was the former assistant that found out about it via court docs delivered to the office and up and quit. There were other assistants that quit too. I like people with conviction to stand up. But, too bad they were all paid off/signed noon-disclosure agreements.
It's an interesting documentary, though it is completely disturbing,

Awix (3310 KP) created a post in Smashbomb Council

Just a thought, but I'm curious to see what other people think about this: now and then one comes across some especially keen person who has rated (usually a 10, though not always) a film which isn't out for about another six months, and that they can't possibly have seen. I know there's no way of checking how informed anyone's opinion is in the normal way of things, but this seems a bit different. Would it be worth (f'rexample) adding a 'release date' field for forthcoming movies and basically embargoing it until it's actually out? Or too much work for the mods? What do people think?

Thank you so much @Bird this helps out alot, cause the movie hasnt come out yet and people review it, their must get a really advance showing than, lucky. I dont know if this is a problem or aware of this as well but you can look up movies that hasnt come out yet from the search bar, i dont know if thats a problem or not. The main problem was just seening them in the daily missions. Once again @Bird and @Smashbomb for fixing this problem
