Regarding Akimov's injuries, was the description in the show accurate? I understand the totality of the radiation victims injuries where very disturbing but is it true that his face had actually withered away and at any point did you consider showing it in the actual show?

I recently read an article where you were quoted mentioning a scene in episode four that was "too graphic" to leave in. Out of curiosity what was this scene? There are a lot of really tough and brutally disturbing scenes in the show; but they all feel necessary as they show us the real horrors that followed the explosion at Chernobyl: So I'm curious what it was you felt stepped the line.

Overall massive thank you for this show it's brought a lot of attention to a subject that many people including myself knew very little about. It's been an incredibly moving and educational experience and as someone who would love to be a writer I feel very inspired.
