He started to clean house, with more vigour and more determination than any previous government, attempting вЂ“ weвЂ™re still in the middle of it вЂ“ a grand reorganisation of the party-state that was aimed at not just making examples out of certain officials but at ending the old way of doing things entirely. When Xi came to power he offered a new deal: we clean house, he said, and you let us back in the saddle. Government, unable to cope with either itself or with society at large, sort of stepped back a little from peopleвЂ™s lives. Although the Jiang-Hu period did see a rise in grassroots activism and civil society mobilisation to correct government shortcomings, for instance the famous вЂњhuman flesh search engineвЂќ doxing of corrupt officials and businessmen via the internet, and a lot of independent media flourishing, it equally saw, far away from the developed metropolitan areas, a million unresolved local tyrannies вЂ“ which frequently exploded in major scandals, from toxic baby milk to the Hunan blood-AIDs epidemic to massive, lurid stories of official vice and sin, but just as often didnвЂ™t, going nowhere and ending well for no one. вЂ“ had occurred, and how all the change of the last decade, all of XiвЂ™s popular anti-corruption measures, hadnвЂ™t fixed the root of the problem.ДЄ short and inaccurate history lesson: the Chinese government, following its retreat from the relative cleanliness of the Mao era, in which local corruption had of course been common but the serve-the-people rhetoric of the official ideology had been taken more seriously and the sheer lack of resources to be corrupt over had limited the gains one could get from graft, had been caught in a bind where after the introduction of market reforms it had become increasingly rotten and at local levels basically non-functional, and yet had refused to allow anyone else to oversee or correct it, insisting, as an emotionally-stunted man unable to face his own feelings might, that it could handle its problems by itself (and failing to, just like most men).

This anger was real вЂ“ it wasnвЂ™t just based on the injustice of the situation, since the common injustice of corrupt officials doing corrupt things is normal, but rather in a decade that had seen China drastically improve itself in terms of the basic functionality of government, it was an anger at how still another disaster exacerbated or caused by state dysfunction вЂ“ Wenzhou, Wenchuan, SARS, etc. And a young doctor, Li Wenliang, had died of that same nu-SARS вЂ“ COVID-19, they called it вЂ“ after being reprimanded by local police for seemingly attempting to speak out about it weeks before the Wuhan government acted effectively. SARS 2.0 had hit вЂ“ the government had obfuscated, muddled about and failed to contain a deadly virus, local officials once more fearful of their positions doing nothing useful in the face of danger until it was too late, and one of the largest and most important cities in central China was in severe, brutal lockdown, and the rest of the country had ground to a halt with it. Well, why wouldnвЂ™t they have been? If you canвЂ™t imagine the mood, it was pretty antsy. Although that might sound silly, I really felt unwell after watching 'Chernobyl'! That just shows how incredibly effective the first episode was on displaying the horrific events that took place in Chernobyl, and how many lives were absolutely destroyed and affected following the disaster.In February of last year вЂ“ I remember this pretty well- a lot of Chinese people were angry. When the episode ended, I was left with a feeling like if I was in Chernobyl! I felt like I was contaminated by radiation. The writing wasn't LEGENDARY but it was great, but most importantly, consistent! Every actor did an amazing job at portraying each character and their feelings, which ultimately, led to a even greater ambience.

Without giving any spoilers besides the obvious, the cinematic quality is unbelievable! I found myself looking at many transition scenes with disbelief, a complete state of shock- that's how good the first episode of HBO's mini-series 'Chernobyl' was!

The first episode somehow surpassed my expectations for what this TV Show would do with the biggest nuclear disaster ever!
