Overall, the mini-series covers the events well enough and captures the important moments of the Chernobyl disaster. However, the british actors struggling to call each other by Russian names kind of ruined the mood for me. Some of the characters seem exaggerated, to make it more appealing to the larger public, I guess, but it didn't particularly appeal to me.

Dark is probably the best tv show that I have ever watched. The story is captivating, well connected and well planed, although it can be a bit hard to follow in the beginning or after a long pause. The casting / hair / make-up are brilliant, making it easier to follow the characters at different ages. The sound and image help build the dark, suspenseful atmosphere. The characters are complex and their development is interesting to follow. Overall, everything falls into place in just the right way.

Although Brad Pitt was good and the movie was artsy, it was not worth watching. There is no plot, just a random combination of scenes from various well-known sci-fi movies that make no sense together.

The graphics and music were great, and the transition was smooth at the "crossroads". But the story... It didn't feel like much of a story, and then I felt pushed into making choices that I did not want to make. I think it captured the choose-your-own-path game feeling, but to me that didn't really feel right in a movie, everything felt too simple and a bit too forced. It's great that Black Mirror wanted to do something innovative, which this truly is, but because it is Black Mirror all the endings feel wrong. In a game like this, you play for the best outcome, but here, you just play to see what else you can get.
