The episode begins with the protagonist, Valery Legasov (played brilliantly by Jared Harris), recording tapes after the disaster. He says, “Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later, that debt is paid.” This line is the thesis of the entire series. We then flash back to the night of the explosion. The genius of this structure is that there is no suspense about if the reactor will explode — we know it will. The suspense is in watching how the system refuses to believe it.

Note: Always watch Chernobyl through official streaming platforms (HBO Max, Sky, etc.) to support the creators. Piracy hurts the industry that gave us this work of art. The episode begins with the protagonist, Valery Legasov

The episode ends with Legasov realizing the scale of the lie. He learns that the core has melted down into the water tanks below. If that water touches the molten lava, it will create a steam explosion that would level half of Europe. The final shot is Legasov looking at a map, realizing that Moscow is in the path of the potential blast. The screen cuts to black. We then flash back to the night of the explosion

When the AZ-5 button (the emergency shutdown) is pressed, and the reactor’s power skyrockets instead of drops, the look on the operator’s face is pure existential terror. The explosion itself is depicted not as a Hollywood fireball, but as a shriek of metal, a blue flash, and then — silence.
