I remember when this was going on. It sure was a pretty awful program.

It's kinda nice to live somewhere that something like this can be publicly recognised as a failure. However, it's a shame that the then minister and then commissioner aren't personally held responsible.

IDK if "docudrama" is the right term for this.

The Chernobyl series is a docudrama. Looking at the trailer it's exclusively interviews and commentary. There might be some re-enactments included (although that would seem a bit odd).
