Chernobyl ends like it begins; with a beautifully written episode and a shocking, humbling reminder of just how devastating this disaster was. Chernobyl doesn’t need big, expensive CGI to get its message across, nor does it need action peppered throughout its five episodes. 

The prolonged emphasis on detailing the events leading to the explosion, accompanied by untranslated Russian explanation placards, provides crucial elements to complete the "Chernobyl" puzzle. In a departure from the typical stirring courtroom monologue, Legasov conveys these details in a speech imbued with a distinct sense of sacrifice. His testimony is not an expression of pride but rather a relinquishment of the hope to live through his terminal diagnosis, choosing instead to offer a more precise understanding of the nature of the country's RBMK reactors.

HBO brings such a consistent quality to most of their shows. No matter the genre no matter the subject matter they always knock it out of the park. do more HBO please.

I was 19 when this happened and I remember how horrifying it was. Of course, we didn't have this insider look at it and this series was wonderful. Beautifully acted by a stellar cast. I'm a very big fan of short lived series' that pack a punch and can tell a complete story in 1 season, 2 at the absolute most (with some obvious exceptions), and this show really delivered.
