TV Series Review: Hot Zone (2019) & Chernobyl (2019)

This TV Series is a retelling of what happened in the USA when they first suspected the Ebola virus was  present in some animals. It's a very interesting take on it. It focus a lot on drama but in a good way.  With 6 episodes you got a nice thriller with rapid  development. Meanwhile we've got a story within a story of events that happened earlier.

SIDA or AIDS when discovered was atrributed to some part of society that had no really power to make things going. With some important people dying on it they start researching it and try to amend. Ebola was a bit different since they already knew the chaos and death that caused.

To anyone who enjoys thrillers and inspired in real events this is a much watch.

Chernobyl is also a thriller but not as fast paced. It's more history focus on a great catastrophe and it's the vision we (occidentals) have on it. After all history remembers as a accident product of soviet communism while the Russians view it as accident fruit of CIA. Who is right? Nobody knows because history is changeable - it depends on who writes it or who is in power.

I seldom saw a more interesting history-focus tv series and I really enjoy it. Advisable to anyone.
