The final episode of Chernobyl - "Vichnaya Pamyat" - "Eternal Memory". Harrowing to watch but it was an impressive dramatic reconstruction of the events that exposed the fundamental weaknesses of the Soviet system in apocalyptic fashion.
What an excellent series. The final episode was outstanding. At only 5 episodes, it really covered a lot of ground and did that very well. The writing, performances, casting, direction, cinematography, all top notch. Lies, covering lies with a helping dash of stupidity and ignorance ... all the right ingredients for a disaster of epic proportions.
Presumably, the Russian version will trot out the ridiculous conspiracy theory that the CIA was somehow responsible for the disaster.
I'd love to see movies with Russian superheros saving the world.
I've heard of at least one that may fit the bill, but haven't seen it. It's called Guardians and I know it has seen some release outside of Russia (at least on dvd. It may be on Netflix in some countries too, but its'n showing in the UK when I did a quick search)
I'm watching Mile 22 later.
Colbert is must see TV at my house.
