It's a great show so far (2 episodes). And they are handling the material in such way that it's not a horror story, it's not depressing tale but it's a cautionary tale of what happens when society doesn't want to listen to warnings of scientists.
And I do find it utterly baffling how they didn't want to believe the truth, they didn't want to believe the scientists especially in the second episode where they tell the scientists "We don't like you telling scary stories."
It seems that these Soviets were so deluded with communism that they couldn't fathom that something bad could happen.
Also, through most of the show I was constantly envisioning Gandalf saying: "Run, you fools."
