Reviews from Letterboxd

1. MJsays – ★★★★★
   “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.”

2. amaya – ★★★★☆
   “watch me recommend this to everyone i know even if every episode makes me feel like im dead”

3. SilentDawn – ★★★★½
   “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.”

4. Taylor Williams – ★★★★★
   “If you watch something like this and your big takeaway is that it was filmed in English, you may want to reevaluate your priorities”

5. Ian – ★★★★★
   “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!”

Meta Description:
Gripping dramatization of the 1986 nuclear disaster that blends intense character drama, system failures, and brutal truths into a critically praised historical miniseries.
