Chernobyl Ratings & Reviews
- ghost0neMay 2, 2025I rate it 3.6… Not great, not terrible
- Sun KingDecember 15, 2025Almost perfect! Full of captivating performances and Beautiful cinematography, but some episodes can drag on a little too long.
- Rowan KrzysiakFebruary 13, 2025Consume, move on, consume, move on, consume, move on, tell your friends....and forget. In the modern era this show feels different because it steeps itself in the language of classic television. It has spectacle but not gratuitously, instead choosing to serve the settings, dialogue and performances with heightened poignancy and only where required. It was broadcast to a weekly schedule with 5 tight episodes that were all written and directed by the same two people; someone wanted to tell a story and they were allowed to. The co-production seems to have taken the best of both worlds by combining the money and polish of American television with the discipline and intimacy of British television. And then there's the subject matter. What really does go on in the small rooms of these foreign lands or your own land even that profoundly effects the lives and deaths of thousands. The unclean nature of everything will have you practically questioning your own health as you watch the nightmare unfurl. It's brilliant, it's not disposable and it will not age and in case you didn't know by now it's highly recommended.
- รҡ૨אρƭเ∂November 7, 2025If your young or brainashed enough to think Communism is "cool" or "works" you should watch this film keeping in mind that it was the policies of this type of government that lead to this disaster which affects the entire globe.
- Ty LeetNovember 5, 2025One of the best seasons of television ever.
- brycowardApril 15, 2025Chernobyl meticulously dissects the devastating consequences that arise when dishonesty permeates a system. It reveals with stark clarity how prioritizing political expediency and placating authority figures, rather than confronting objective reality, leads directly to systemic collapse. This isn't merely drama; it's a crucial illustration of how denying reality courts utter disaster.
- KezzzOctober 24, 2025Chernobyl is a masterclass in filmmaking and historical storytelling. While intensely difficult to watch, it is a necessary and important piece of television that brings the human element of this historical tragedy to the forefront. It’s an essential watch for anyone interested in history, the political consequences of deceit, and the extraordinary resilience of ordinary people in the face of disaster.
- Jay Marie BaileyJune 14, 2025Great cast, stunning effects and representation of the shocking events.
- Ian GellingsJune 5, 2025This show is easily in my top 5. The visuals, the story, the performances this show is just straight up. Phenomenal highly recommend you check this show out
- Tristan HalfordMay 31, 2025Definitely easily in my top 5 best TV series I’ve ever seen, and well worthy of a full 5 stars. It’s so well produced and acted, and utterly interesting, captivating, and gripping right from the start. Brilliant all round!
- neuroparadoxSeptember 21, 2025Pretty good show! Thankfully the regime of the Cold War Soviet Republic bears NO RESEMBLANCE AT ALL to modern day USA, or whatever that crazy shithole country calls itself now 😂 They should really consider dropping the U 😂
- DeadlyDuncanAugust 25, 2025Modern day classic. Acting is brilliant and gives you a good understanding of what happened
- kk2kbAugust 16, 2025One of the best mini series made. Music, suspense, storytelling, visuals and acting everything looked at its best.
- Motaba Movie centerMarch 14, 2025Chernobyl sometimes plays up the tragedy of the disaster a bit too much, but other than that, it manages to create the best possible treatment of the case. The series authentically and meticulously processes all the threads and defining figures of the tragedy, while at the same time shaping it into a captivating, horrifying moving image experience instead of a dry chronicle. This would claim a place among the best of the year even if this effect did not last in the remaining two episodes.
- The Gutter MonkeyMay 15, 2025An interesting (and very depressing) historical miniseries.
