The recreation of the control room in HBO's Chernobyl drama was impressive. Presumably it was fairly accurate/authentic - but also it's simplicity and explicit use during shots in the drama as a filmic device to explain the quite technically complex plot was amazing. From the dials, meters and warning lights made it all come alive.
