I grew up playing Half-Life countless times and till date enjoy bio-disaster type of movies. There are some extremely well made ones out there. These are all fictional but here comes Chernobyl that depicts the realities of the situation in a masterful, authentic manner.
We've all read about the disaster or stumbled into information on Chernobyl in some form or the other in our lives. But this mini-series pulls you into it immediately. I've watched 2/5 episodes so far. It's very authentic in it's approach even though it's not a documentary.
It also has this haunting effect on your emotions given the fact that this nuclear disaster actually happened and it affected thousands of people and the environment. People were blatantly lied to in an attempt to (clumsily) cover this up.
Imagine picking up a radioactive piece of Graphite rock only to find your hand melting away moments later. It's unfathomable how someone might've felt this happening to them. But the fact is that it has occurred!
It's a dramatisation of real life horror experienced by people on site when the disaster occurred and for these reasons its scary! Well nothing is scarier than reality, and the reality is that we have one planet and a million ways to destroy it! This is one such instance.
Chernobyl mini-series brings fantastic cinema leaving you with the feeling by the end of every episode that are you at ground-zero experiencing the situation as it unfolds. The background score gives an eerie feel, you feel like you are haunted. It's just perfect!
The writing is very good, casting and acting from the cast is impeccable. The horror, fear, and anxiety of everyone involved is well captured. This is a series that I would recommend everyone to watch. People are lied to by the governments and this disaster captures that well.
This is another reminder of our past as humans and some mistakes that must never be repeated again.
I'm unable to cover the show in-depth without giving away too much of it. This show will capture your imagination entirely and you may find it leaving you unsettled at the end of each episode. For all these reasons and more it's worth the watch!
I'm now waiting for the finale to be released as I will finish the next two episodes before the end of today. Another fantastic show from HBO! đź‘Ź
