Chernobyl will be awarded with my first review of anything.

I can't point out a single negative fraction on what i've witnessed so far in this miniseries. After finishing the first episode i recommended it to all my close ones and not a single one was dissapointed.

Here's why i think this series stands out from the rest. Firstly the topic is widely discussed, Chernobyl was often a topic brought up to me growing up since it provokes a sense of mystery and thrill. People are interested in disasters, especially when it's nothing we've ever heard of before.

Visualizing the drama and the terror it all feels very genuine and realistic, as viewers we are truly immersed in the 1980's Ukraine. The acting is spot on, the score/ambience is both beautiful and haunting. I've seen scenes from good series where the music is misused and sadly brings down the quality of the scene. In Chernobyl they amazed me every time. The visuals and the audials flows and strengthens each other which keeps the audience constantly interested and on edge.

The second episode surpassed my expectations with ease, if this isn't it then i don't know what the next milestone in cinema is going to be (even though it's a miniseries). The evacuation and ending both left me in shock and even brought a tear to my eye. If the consistency holds throughout the series which i'm certain it will, this will definately be a flawless work of art.

10/10
