I love the dramatic, eerie tone for the climax of "they realized they messed up and fixed it"

[Lockmart]

Netflix tried to ride HBO’s coattails after Chernobyl’s success

[valemontgomery]

Netflix lying about history. What’s new?

[southcalder]

I watched it end to end, more than once, and both times felt like it had been an exclusive production of the Anti Nuclear Lobby. I've seen some one sided documentaries before, but this was ridiculous.

I have a conspiracy belief about the excessive media coverage of three-mile island having been influenced by the fossil fuel industry in a smear campaign. I would not be entirely surprised if this were proven true, and I would love to be proven wrong.
Maybe you could do a video specifically on how energy industry interests influence the ability to carry out and make known sound science.

It didn't help that the popular movie "The China Syndrome" came out at exactly the same exactly the same time. We were in the theater watching the movie as the accident unfolded, getting a serious chuckle about the coincidence.

Netflix lied about something? Thats impossible!

I refuse to watch Netflix’s retelling of Waco for this exact reason

They’re trying to get into gaming, I don’t know what you’d expect from them.

..."and this, kids, is why we don't have nuclear energy as an option anymore."

Story: "Three mile island, worst PR disaster, nuclear accident, awful things, horrible be scared
Reality: "Oh, pump's off. Better isolate the system. Anyone hit the block valve? Bueller? Bueller? Ok, I'll do it myself. Oh, the pressure relief seems to have farted a little bit, best stay indoors for an hour or two."

Three Mile Island could literally have gone completely unnoticed save for the power unavailability and the "new" work on the plant afterwards.

Fun fact: more people died in Teddy Kennedy's car than in every civilian nuclear accident in US history.

Three Mile Island was a containment success story. The accident should never have happened, but the takeaway is that modern containment systems are more than capable of preventing something like Chernobyl from happening. The plant not only contained the accident, but the wider facility was able to continue operating - and even expanded once - up until 2019.

How could they! When they know we have Google 😡

[fishstix]

So the future peeps don't know any better.

[headp]

Wow Netflix lied about something. Someone needs to tell the black Ann Boling or the black Cleopatra!!!

[WordToMomsYo]

What exactly did Netflix lie about? What was the claim, versus what was the truth?

[Hlebuwk]

Sorry kyle, can't read the subtitles behind the subscribe button.

The Three Mile Island is to date America's worst nuclear disaster but not as severe as Chernobyl several years later. But the psychological impact was immense; ending once for all high expectations of nuclear energy as an alternative power source.

[Huhneee]

Cant believe it wasn't filmed on a EXACTLY TO THE DECIMAL three mile island...
