A few things stick out for me:
"Why would we have iodine pills?"
All the sirens and alarms are haunting.
The man going up on the roof knowing it'll kill him.
The radioactive 'ash' falling on those who were on the bridge, including babies.
Staring into the core.
Knowing this really happened. The sheer arrogance of it all. The 'disposable' technicians who were told to carry on as it was 'just a fire'.
I can't wait for episode 2! It's great to see Paul Ritter go from the dad in Friday Night Dinner to this.
39 u/Cootch May 14 '19 Ha, I live right by a nuclear power plant and we all have iodine pills in our home. Thought it would be a given for a hospital but I guess not! 24 u/AndromedaGreen May 21 '19 I grew up near one. IIRC the ownership of the plant distributes them to everyone within a 10 mile radius, and they have to be replaced every so often because they expire. 16 u/Cootch May 21 '19 Yeah we get ours in the mail from the power plant.
