Where did it go wrong? Aside from having "Russians" speaking English with British accents, of course.

I mean would want terrible Russian accents? I'd rather have everyone just try a neutral-ish accent and perform well, then stumble over a shitty accent.
Only thing I can fault it for is the over-moralising female character. She stands out as too Western.
Chase Perry
SJW themes and in your face propaganda that makes you groan. All the pacing and dialogue of the show is centred around making critiques and being political and subverting your expectations and it's the same old format we see in stuff like Last Jedi. It's just not believable, and it's even more apparent when juxtaposed over a real historical event.

the "russians" in "The Death of Stalin" had British accents, too. Stalin's character speaking with a northern accent was a cute way of explaining that being a Georgian meant most Russians considered him to be slightly rural. until he started ordering their deaths. then they shut the fuck up.
Evan Wood
>SJW propaganda
Obviously referring to the Khomyuk character, literally just because she's a woman, it doesn't seem to matter that she calls out communist party members on their incompetence, just that because it's a woman it's SJW.
>in your face propaganda
About what, The Soviet Union being fucking retarded and corrupt? which it was?

Are you suggesting that Chernobyl was not a significant political event?
If you don't like it, make your own show you fucking dicksuck
William Howard
disregard this tripfag, he’s posted on both sides of the Chernobyl good/bad argument at different times because he’s a fag
Ryder Williams
Just get Russian actors, how fucking hard is that.
Tyler Powell
And that was bad too.
Dominic Rodriguez
at this point I don’t give a shit about the english accent
they treat drama as an extremely respectable art and it shows
edit:thanks for the gold but why all the downvotes?

don’t bother responding to tripfags, especially that one

Don't even agree with the tripfag, but this has always been a poor argument

They should've had them speak Russian with subs but then the "people" who consumed Game of Thrones wouldn't have made it 5 minutes.
Gavin Murphy
You're retarded and don't know how bad it would be.

you’re severely underestimating how good these actors are and how much sway it’s giving to the show

Try telling that to the victims you fucking leftist faggot.
Adam Butler
Imagine being so idiotic you groan at Russians having British accents.
Who started this shit meme? It really took off after Rome but might had been around before.
You know what's worse than transposing an accent for another? Trying to mimic or have the real accents. Russian accents are a mockery in the English language. So are Italian ones. So are Spanish ones or French ones. So everyone has a Brit accent. The only real alternative is subbing.
Ayden Carter
The greatest thing about this show is that it's a well deserved kick to the corpse of the Geronocratic corrupt Soviet system. That does not automatically mean Soviet = Socialist, sure, or anything one or the masses might label socialism (which is the real modern problem).
I wish they started doing it sooner. We get it as soon as Episode...2? 3? Legasov is over the radio table bemoaning. "Is this really how this works? Career Bureaucrats and appointcinks?" Yes. Yes it does. There's also that old fucking Bolshevik in Episode 1 who never appears again, but did his own damage as Bolsheviks fucking do by simply existing.
Everyone is so cowed at this Great War/Revolutionary they go along in lockstep despite him being a walking tombstone.
Then Legasov and Khomyuk get dragged around by the KGB and Boris in EP 4 is like 'you don't know what you're fucking with' - so SHOW US MORE. The Soviets in the 80s were living doublethink, where everyone was a happy comrade and they were in it together and the KGB was a 'circle of accountability' but it was still shit, because the whole system was warped from Lenin or Stalin afterwards. They show an old lady who's like "I lived through it all", and all that, but the real stuff will come around in Ep 5 where SovGov goes into panic mode to try to gag Lagasov from the IAEA and then they get fucked and the rotting system is exposed, ever so slightly, in the microcosm of that night. As they needed to be and should always be.
All the pro-nuclear guys were crying how Chernobyl would detract people from the long PR fight Nuclear's been having since TMI and Chernobyl but the show is going to wag fingers right at the Soviets. Good.
Hudson Robinson
The english language is Latin mixed with Proto-Slavic, Germanic, and Sanskrit. You are nothing special that should be worrying about being "mocked".
Also, not being able to do good accents is not an argument for not doing them, it's an argument for getting better actors.
Better luck next time anglo.
Colton Jones
You can get the best 'actors' ever but if the audience has to do a double take because this Russian guy sounds like absolute shit in English. Either just have them all speaking Russian or suck it up and deal with the Brit accent because nothing else clicks with modern audiences. You're in denial if you think the show would be better in Russian accent'd English.
Hell, don't we see this in Ep 4 with what's his fucking name...the Afghan vet, Borno? He's doing an accent. It's horrid.
Robert Peterson
Muh accents
Austin Bell
>Russian guy sounds like absolute shit in English.
Better than a Brit accent. At least I can appreciate the fact that they're trying. Of course doing the real language is better, but if you can't do that, at least try for the accent. Otherwise using whatever native accent you have is lazy and sounds stupid and shit, especially the bong one.
Jeremiah Evans
stupid tripfag
Joseph Walker
Next you will be bitching about how they didn't get actual Romans for Rome
Jonathan Edwards
It's a legitimate criticism when you have Italians. But again, this is an issue bigger than production decisions. This is an issue with the LARPgene of certain unmentionable peoples.
Nathaniel Harris
Keep whinging because it's never going to stop. It'll be replaced, sure, like how everyone was i Mid-Atlantic until the mid60s, but 'natural accents in a foreign language' will never take off.
They cry when Brits play Romans and say they should had gotten "Italians" instead. A smarter bunch of the dolts might say "Train the actors to emulate a new accent" since Italian isn't a perfect fit either. Whoever started this shit in Rome - I hope they kneel over.
No, it's not. Caesar in English with an Italian accent will just sound like some stupid gangster. Italians aren't Romans.
Gabriel Hernandez
It's the objective truth and no amount of longwinded multireply posts will change that.
Matthew Thomas
They can get Germans to speak German in Dark but they couldn't get Russians, Ukrainians, or any other slavs for this show?
Thomas Miller
The Mary Sue cunt is way more immersion breaking than any accent.
Her and her family would be disappeared the moment she started talking shit
Yeah yeah, she's an amalgamation of characters. Fuck off
Caleb Ortiz
Therein lies the crux of the Central Asian question.

Grayson Ward
Who is "they", user? Do you think one guy writes, casts, and shoots ALL movies and shows?
Tyler Anderson
Keep telling yourself that. Meanwhile the only options are "Whatever accent we feel is comfy and tolerable for the audience" or subs like notes.
Nicholas Hall
>Who is "they", user?
You know what I mean, the people in charge of casting or however it works
Grayson Wilson
This british accent thing is really jarring and i'm surprised it's held in such high regard as it is with this glaring immersion breaking issue.
Tyler Lewis
Language of the characters you are playing> Accents of the characters you are playing>no accent>your own native accent
Enjoy your bottom tier trash anglo
Ryan Ross
Because it's not a fucking issue. You and 'muh accents' just want to feel special after realizing it's been the norm since the start of talking films, when it was Mid-Atlantic, then shifted to RP and other Brit accents.
And you think Anglo is a dirty word.
Luke Nelson
I wouldn't call it dirty but it's definitely not something I'd like to be called.
Matthew Thompson
At least they're consistent with different types of accents for soldiers, government officials, grunts, miners etc.
Aiden Nelson
It's kino
Adam Diaz
Did you ever watched current russian movies? Id rather watch serbian film in a loop for a week than watch chernobyl with russian actors.
t. squatmeister
Benjamin Rogers
It's just stupid because it's anglos trying to apply their own culture onto a culture that is unlike theirs. I don't want to watch Chernobyl to hear variations of the anglo accent and to learn about your socioeconomic structures through your accents. I want slavkino not bongflicks.
Chase Nelson
Yeah because listening to Lane Pryce call people "comrade" doesn't sound fucking ridiculous.
Caleb Ramirez
I don't have a big issue with it and can understand why, but yeah it is still kinda weird and it I would prefer it was just Russian with subs.
Chase Thompson
*Id rather watched
*than watched
At least be consistent, дeбил ты ёбaный.
Jackson Hughes
Then watch a movie or TV show produced by a Slavic country. There are plenty of choose from.
Please remove your trip and stop shit talking chernobyl kino
