I was just watching a podcast made by the show creator and he said he chose people who weren't American as the American accent would pull an American audiance out of the feature.

As someone who's from the UK and the show was done by British actors, I have to say that I think he's wrong, I think that the accent being similair to yours makes it a lot closer to home and makes it a little more personal, rather then pulling me away or detaching me from the show it made me relate with the actors more and made some connection between me and them, which really improved the viewing.

From non-English and British people watching the show, do you agree with what the director said? And how did their dialect correlate with you?

i too prefer it not being made with american actors

a lot of the people who were included in the show are very good actors but are rarely seen in the big pictures because they're from smaller countries movie creation wise, which means we don't connect them to anything

im personally very glad that they're getting recognition in a show like this, their different accents does a lot to point out how many people from all over the soviet union actually took part

It's a bit like Death Of Stalin or some other movie I can't think of but heard of. Making good actors put on bad accents would pull away from the whole ordeal so just don't

I would've been comfortable if they went down the path of Deutschland 83 in which everyone spoke legitimate Russian with subtitles but I know that it wouldn't have made it accessible enough as having to bounce between subtitles and the picture itself can get disorienting as fuck at times.

Genuinely glad they hadn't gone for American actors though since it probably would've meant they would have gone for headliner actors to bring attention that wasn't needed rather than people who are amazing at their craft but don't get much of an opportunity to show it.

Chernobyl has probably been a massive break for a lot of actors that previously hadn't gotten any recognition whatsoever so far as I'm concerned, props to them and props to the show for propelling their craft forward.

I found the brit accents good, I guess, not sure what worked, but they pulled it off fair enough. When I watched Dr Zhivago, I found the brit accents there very jarring and unfitting, not like this or death of stalin

one thing I just found out that they left out of the TV series was this, during the bit where the 3 guys go into the water, one of them recalled that he saw a crack in the wall, and something was glowing inside of the crack, he put his geiger counter next to the glow and it went off like crazy and then said 'We need to move fast' to his comrades.

They decided not to put it in as they felt it might be too over-the-top that it would seem unrealistic, even though it's an actual reccount from one of the divers.

at fukushima there was an area measuring 56,000 roentgen/hour(530 sieverts)

in other words, being there for thirty seconds will kill you
