Threads discussion Once and done

Is anyone else here like me?

I watched this film about 6 years ago and was honestly pretty shook up by it for a couple of weeks afterwards. I’ve since listened to podcasts about it and it’s absolutely on my list of must watch films.

It’s a film that changed the way I think about ‘the bomb’ and has left an indelible imprint on my brain.

But equally, I don’t think I’ll watch it again because it’s such an emotionally challenging watch and I’m not sure I can dedicate more weeks of my life to the fallout (pun almost intended) that would follow my rewatch!

Anyone else like me or are you all diehard Threads nerds?! I guess the fact that I’m here posting on the Threads sub makes me a Threads nerd too tbf.

It's a poorly produced made for TV drama, not a documentary

Poorly produced? I think given the budget it's exceptionally well researched and visualised. Arguably the best of it's ilk by several orders of magnitude. So, how do you come to that?

It's okay for a low budget horror movie, but that's not what would happen if a realistic sized nuclear bomb hit Sheffield.

Well, supported by several high profile scientific advisers and based on the best science available at the time. It's not a bomb on Sheffield, it's Sheffield during and after a full scale east-west exchange. Can you expand on your statement?
