Chernobyl Ratings & Reviews
- 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.
- 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.
