The HBO series "Chernobyl" was a major success in every way possible. This retelling of the massive explosion of the nuclear power plant in Ukraine on April 26, 1986 is currently the highest ranked TV series of all time on IMDb. The show gained attention around the world.
Obviously it had its detractors as well, some criticizing historical inaccuracies and a lack of character development, among others. However, most audiences were impressed by its haunting, gripping atmosphere, grim tone, powerful acting performances, and its disturbing subject matter. If you watched the series and liked it, maybe you would love to give some of these films below a chance as well if you haven't seen them already.
