Would prefer Russian/Ukrainian dialog..

I understand why it is, but I would prefer subtitles. I think it makes it more immersive and obviously realistic despite how well these English actors are. But either way I really like this show so far and I'm impressed.

Or you can wait for the Russian version, propaganda and all...

Yeah I saw that article too. I loved the money quote:

Ilya Shepelin, a Russian journalist, wrote in the Moscow Times that “the fact that an American, not a Russian, TV channel tells us about our own heroes is a source of shame that the pro-Kremlin media apparently cannot live down”.

Nah. The dialogue and acting is perfect as is. Changing it would’ve terrible.

I agree. It was well done and the acting was brilliant.

I'd prefer they use real radiation on the actors instead of pretending it was.

English audio with the option to change to native language also and subs.

The radiation option would be good too.
