Nerve-shredding, well-paced and grimly told; Chernobyl is by far the greatest dramatization of human error ever produced for television, emphasising that the toxicity of humanity is just as destructive as the deadly fumes of nuclear energy. This is truly terrifying stuff.

Begins as visceral, graphic recreation and ends as a systematic breakdown of a government's limitations in what it teaches and what it hides. Mystifying and buried in existential dread.

watch me recommend this to everyone i know even if every episode makes me feel like im dead

"Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth. Sooner or later that debt has to be paid."

MASTERPIECE.
A triumph. Harrowing. Sad. Dark. Captivating. Sobering. Hard hitting. Brilliant. Devastating. Incredible. Haunting. Chilling. Nauseous.
Chernobyl has officially got me fucked up!! I think I need a therapist. This is more terrifying than any horror movie I've ever seen!! and I'm pretty sure I forgot how to breathe...

Damn that ending.... Fuck fuck fuck.....

Ps. Dyatlov is always a fucking asshole.

If you watch something like this and your big takeaway is that it was filmed in English, you may want to reevaluate your priorities

Not quite the bruh monent that Bruhking Bad is but still a very solid bruh

Brilliant. Incredible. Amazing. Show-stopping. Spectacular. Never the same. Totally unique. Completely not ever been done before.

jesus christ this shit is traumatic

Everybody gangsta till the horror movie is based on true events.

Those people, the firemen, soldiers, coal miners and scientists are all heroes in my eyes. They saved the entire Europe, paying the ultimate price. We should have a day dedicated to them when we can honor their sacrifice. RIP all of you!

arguably the most important thing put to screen this year. jared harris and emily watson are jaw-droppingly fantastic in this. i also loved barry keoghan's scenes as well. he's so great. and some really incredible writing by craig mazin - he did such a great job at conveying the emotion behind this disaster while including every important detail and even some funny moments as well to cut the tension. i never felt bored.

i read a super interesting interview where mazin explained his choice of using humor in certain scenes and his answer was "life is still happening. you can’t just watch a funeral for 60 minutes. and life is funny. even when things are falling apart, life is funny." i thought this was really interesting and super important. i loved this and i'm so thankful to be more knowledgeable on what happened in chernobyl. my heart goes out to everyone who was affected.

2019 RANKED

Fun (not really) fact: the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone was 30 km around the reactor when in fact it was supposed to be 200 km, and the distance between my hometown, Gomel and Chernobyl is 132 km which means the entire city was needed to be evacuated in 1986.

tense but not completely convincing

That debt to truth is still piling up around us 🤢

jesus christ

So THAT’S why this won 10 Emmy’s

Fantastic.

Devastatingly true

White people so fucking crazy, y'all.

Contains everything future civilizations will need to know about the 2010s attitude toward climate change.
