Abbott Elementary follows a group of dedicated, passionate teachers -- and a slightly tone-deaf principal -- who are brought together in a Philadelphia public school where, despite the odds stacked against them, they are determined to help their students succeed in life. Though these incredible educators may be outnumbered and underfunded, they love what they do -- even if they don't love the school district's less-than-stellar attitude toward educating children.more

Episode 1

1:23:45

An explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant on April 26th, 1986, sends workers rushing to assess the damage. When reports reach the control room that the reactor's core is "gone," deputy chief engineer Anatoly Dyatlov sends men to the core to investigate. Meanwhile, a fireman named Vasily is summoned to help put out the fire, leaving behind his wife, Lyudmila.

Episode 2

Please Remain Calm

With untold millions at risk after the Chernobyl explosion, nuclear physicist Ulana Khomyuk desperately attempts to reach Legasov and warn him about the threat of a second explosion that could devastate the continent.

Episode 3

Open Wide, O Earth

April 30, 1986. After bribing her way into Hospital Number 6, Lyudmilla flouts a nurse's warnings about limiting her contact with Vasily. With the reactor fire contained, Legasov warns Shcherbina that a meltdown could contaminate drinking water for millions. Khomyuk vows to uncover the cause of the explosion, and Legasov lays out a decontamination plan for surrounding areas.

Episode 4

The Happiness of All Mankind

Legasov and Shcherbina consider using lunar rovers to remove radioactive debris, while Khomyuk faces government hurdles in determining the truth about the cause of the explosion.

Episode 5

Vichnaya Pamyat

After being congratulated by the KGB for publicly affirming that the Chernobyl explosion was caused by "operator error," Legasov weighs the price of telling the truth at the upcoming criminal trial of Dyatlov, Bryukhanov and Fomin.
