      The show Chernobyl is kinda a allegory/metaphor for doing something about climate change, so not necessarily.

        Plus they make the miner union look badass. Especially when the politician guy shows up to tell them to do something and instead of them being forced, they bully him and decide that it's their duty to help contain the disaster.

      I enjoyed it, despite having several critiques of their depiction of the Soviet Union.

        To be fair, it was presented as no less corrupt and bad than the US government was in Veep.

        There was also the scene where literally thousands of people stormed the streets to mourn Stalin, which never happened in Veep. So they at least showed that the people were supportive, even if the politiboro wasn't.

        Everybody spoke in their own accent in Death of Stalin too, except Zhukov
