I liked what I saw of Chernobyl. One of those shows where I’m like, I wonder how close this is to the actual events but don’t really care enough to look it up.

Any of you people watch the expanse? Someone told me that it's GOT set in space and that's selling it a bit much but the first 3 episodes are pretty good. Feels a bit low budget though.

The low syfy channel budget is my only real complaint for the first season. Really enjoyable show with shitloads of politics, espionage, violence, mystery, and space world-building. Guess this was canceled after 3 seasons but amazon picked it up from syfy for a 4th season.

Yes.  I'm hoping for a lot more episodes

i wanna get way in it, but im worried about accents

how are the accents?

is it worse to have every russian talk with a british accent or to have normies try to do a russian accent?

Definitely worse to speak English in a fake Russian accent. That makes the least sense of pretty much all options.

Pretty sure everyone just speaks in their normal voices.

I would preferred they spoke in Russian and the show was subtitled.

it's just like death of stalin (every actor just uses his/her normal voice). this is bitb unless you're going to use an all-russian cast

it doesn't distract from the show. I'm very much able to watch and get into the story without being aware/constantly reminded that i'm watching non-russian actors trying to convey that they are russian.

Yes I think it is well done. They do a good enough job of gently reminding you that this is all set in Russia and it looks like they even splice in some actual historical recordings (not that I would have any way to know the difference—they’re just old looking and 100% in Russian).

4 epis into Dead To Me, I'm very entertained.   Linda Cardelinni looks to have aged a lot.
