I grew up during this disaster and really had no idea how devastating and corrupt it was. I'm glad I watched so I have a better insight. I really enjoyed Chernobyl's mini series so this was right up my alley.

This suffers from having 4, rather than 2, episodes. Too much repetition spoils the thread of the narrative. The accident itself was contemporaneous with the film 'The China Syndrome', raising public awareness. This isn't to say that it wasn't serious. It was and it certainly could have been handled better by the authorities and particularly the relevant government agencies. That mishandling led to a slowing of the nuclear power industry world-wide, a trend exacerbated by Chernobyl, a disaster not helped by a much more flawed reactor design. Whether that result (in terms of electricity generation world-wide) was good or bad remains a question for history to answer.

This so sounds like an AI written comment.
