Watched it in one go.
Was a bit worried about it beforehand bc I've read a fair few books on it and was concerned how faithful it would turn out to be.
Give it a B+ so not bad at all.
They took some liberties but nothing major or nothing that cant be justified by the poetic licence.
Overdid the greyness of it all but that could be to do with the atmosphere they wanted.
Overall a decent effort.
The biggest departures from the reported facts were
. The design defects were not a big secret
. Tha helicopter crash happened weeks later and bc of a collision with a crane
. Legasov didn't testify in the trial
. Appaz the bridge of death didn't happen
Plus minor details
. You wouldn't fly from Moscow in a helicopter as Chernobyl is too far
. Soviet scientists of Legasov's stature lived in better flats
