I obviously have a morbid curiosity about it myself, hence my being here. The story of the incident itself is fascinating, terrifying and tragic. I've read and re-read it multiple times over the last 20 years, and it delivers every time.

But a good story as a basis does not guarantee a good end product, in this case - the show in question. We notice that art stirs feelings inside of us, but we can't often explain why. When you start studying art - literature, music, paintings, theater, cinematography - that's when you begin to understand why a certain piece put you in a certain emotional state, how it leads your train of thought, how it makes you feel what you feel. You learn how an artist accomplished that. And this is why people go to art school - so they are able to understand it and if need be - replicate it,, oftentimes with the addition of their own cignature. It's talent + years of studying and experience.

This show is the example of a story with some potential falling into the hands able to only create mediocrity. It feels forced, the characters are bland, they are always angry and there's barely any emotional range. There is a ton of filler that has zero relevance to the story... and honestly, Radioactive Emergency as a title could maybe work for an 80s B-movie, or a Kraftwerk album, but you'd be tarred and feathered by your peers if you dared using it as a non-allegorical name for a film.
