It is the most suspenseful and tense, definitely. Followed closely by The Clone Wars's Seige of Mandalore Arc and then the second to last episode of Midnight Mass.

What was interesting was how the show turned nuclear energy into a Lovecraftian monster.

To be fair most people by default treat nuclear energy as a lovecraftian being. Like it will inevitably be the monster that kills us all no matter who is looking after it. Chernobyl didn’t have to try hard to make it that.

Whereas if most took the time to understand the new modular nuclear reactor designs and actually had a layman understanding of how it all worked there would be less hysteria.

People still act like it’s this unworldly creature in which no matter if the smartest and most responsible humans on earth were looking after it, would kill us all.

Honestly, weirdly, I felt safer about nuclear power after this show because I saw just how hard it would be for a Chernobyl to happen again.
