In 2019 HBO released Chernobyl, a five part mini series addressing the nuclear disaster, cover-up, and the immediate impact on citizens living in the adjacent town of Pripyat. Today the series is available on HBO Max, Amazon Prime, and Netflix.
Surprisingly this series gained widespread critical acclaim. Receiving 19 nominations, Chernobyl won Emmy awards for Outstanding Limited Series, Outstanding Directing, and Outstanding Writing. At the same time the series won Golden Globe awards for Best Miniseries or Television Film. In addition, actor Stellan Skarsgård won Best Supporting Actor in a Series, Miniseries or Television Film. Likewise, Jared Harris won Best Actor at the British Academy Awards.
This is certainly a powerful series. This event, over 30 years ago has faded from our memory. Occurring prior to the internet, webpages, and social media Chernobyl has moved it to the background of history. Perhaps the best selling point for watching.
