There are so many excellent and accurate reviews of this mini-series already, that it does not really need another. But I have just finished watching it again, and am struck once more by how mesmerising and riveting it is, particularly as it is so painfully and horrifylngly true. The script, direction, and truly realistic performances by the whole cast, and especially the three principals, Jared Harris, Emily Watson, and Stellan Skarsgard, are so enthralling that you forget its a film and almost feel you are actually there, amongst these people, watching it unfold in all its horrendous reality.
It is also a clear indictment of the Soviet system, where truth is a lie, and a lie is truth - if the State says it is. And that is what was the downfall of Valery Legasov, the Jared Harris character: he publicly spoke out the truth of how this ghastly disaster occurred, and laid it at the feet of The State, for which truth he lost his career, his reputation, and in the end, his life. He was never allowed to work as a Scientist again.
It cannot help but evoke some aspects of what our society is experiencing these days - what feels like censorship of free speech and the press; a lack of lively and healthy civilized discussion of disparate opinions; and being Politically Correct at all times. But what is "Political Correctness" but being bullied into being a liar? When you look clearly at what it requires, then that is what it boils down to - if people are really truthful with themselves.
Don't miss this one. Its memorable.

Chernobyl is a Masterpeice.
Chernobyl is a excellent depiction of the events after and before the explosion. The State hid the truth from their own people. Thousands died because no one would admit the mistake and danger. Perception became reality.
