Chernobyl Release Date and Synopsis

On April 26, 1986, the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in the Soviet Union suffered a massive explosion that released radioactive material across Belarus, Russia and Ukraine, and as far as Scandinavia and western Europe. Chernobyl is a gripping five-part miniseries that tells the powerful and visceral story of the worst man-made accident in history, following the tragedy from the moment of the early-morning explosion through the chaos and loss of life in the ensuing days, weeks and months. Approaching the story from every angle, encompassing the perspectives of plant workers, firemen, doctors, scientists, residents and Soviet bureaucrats, the miniseries juxtaposes compelling human stories of bravery and sacrifice with the shocking inertia of a government intent on passing blame and downplaying the dangers of the disaster. Featuring an ensemble cast led by Jared Harris (Emmy nominee for Mad Men), Stellan Skarsgård (Melancholia) and Emily Watson (Oscar nominee for Hilary and Jackie and Breaking the Waves), Chernobyl is written by Craig Mazin (The Huntsman: Winter's War) and directed by Johan Renck (Breaking Bad).

One of the best mini series I’ve seen.This was fantastic. The pacing was spot on. You really feel the dread in the atmosphere the whole way through.

Best. Show. Ever.This is officially my new favorite show, as it showed a lot of great details, and truly focused on the event that changed the course of history at a time where political tensions were really high. The cast was 100% superb, as the rest of the crew and the writer and researchers. Obviously they didn’t get their Emmy awards for nothing, and they better win more. Although I do wish there were a second season (to show the lives of the main characters after the trial and how they were affected), I am grateful enough for this series as it is. So, thank you to HBO and those involved. I’ll definitely watch this again!!!.Score: 5/5

Just a master pieceBy far, this is the best show I have ever seen. The picture, characters, story, drama and representation of the URSS is just amazing. You need to live in a communist country to understand the actions and decision taken by the “so called” leaders. There is not a missing detail in any scene. It’s really sad how dictatorial regimens protect their failure from the “eastern countries”, costing life, from children, women, elder people, etc. They don’t really care about people..Score: 5/5

Haunting and UnsettlingTruly an eye opening show. There were moments I was not sure I could continue watching but this story needs to be told. The ego of the Russian government during this time is, without question, alarming. One of the best shows I've ever seen. Highly recommend..Score: 5/5

A work of artThe show was a true masterpiece. It not only told the story of one of the most horrific man-made disasters in the world, but expressed the heart-wrenching effects and painful truths of lies.

Lived up to the expectations of 5/5I was skeptical with all this hype on the series but I must say that this series though not crazy action packed it had some excellent cinematography, acting and writing. I did not realize how terrifying reality can be more than fiction. Each episode is not 30min but over an hour and let me tell you that the series was so good I binged watched them all in one night and then made my whole family watch it the next day. That’s when you know how good a series is. I watched this series two times in 24hrs. Just do yourself a favor and watch the series it’s definitely worth your while because not only is it entertaining it’s worth understanding what happened at Chernobyl..Score: 5/5

Absolutely essential viewingI’ve watched this series 5 times so far and it’s one of the best miniseries I’ve ever watched. The whole story is further amplified by the companion podcast “the Chernobyl podcast” each episode has a companion episode with the producer, creator and writer, Craig Mazin. Must watch, must listen!.Score: 5/5

A riveting dramatization of one of mankind’s most chilling, destructive self-inflicted disaster with a still very pertinent lesson for our times to boot: “Every lie we tell incurs a debt to the truth.

One of the best!!One of the best miniseries to come along in a long long time. For those giving it a terrible rating because of Apple your ratings shouldn’t count.

April 26, 1986, USSR. An early-morning explosion at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant sends workers scrambling to assess the damage. When reports reach the control room that the reactor's core is "gone," deputy chief engineer Anatoly Dyatlov sends men to the core itself to investigate. Meanwhile, Vasily, a fireman in the nearby town of Pripyat, is summoned to help put out the fire, leaving behind his wife Lyudmilla. As plant workers and firemen quickly succumb to radiation, Dyatlov and plant directors Viktor Bryukhanov and Nikolai Fomin meet with the Pripyat council and insist that radiation levels are not dangerously high; the council subsequently decides to seal off Pripyat and cut its phone lines to prevent the spread of "misinformation." As sick patients begin to stream into the local hospital, a skeptical academician, Valery Legasov, is tasked by the Central Committee of the USSR to serve as an expert on its Chernobyl task force.

Please Remain Calm

13 May 2019$3.99

Seven hours after the Chernobyl explosion, Ulana Khomyuk, a nuclear physicist in Minsk, is awakened in her office by a radiation alarm and grows increasingly worried when her phone call to Chernobyl goes unanswered. Lyudmilla arrives at the Pripyat hospital looking for Vasily, whom she learns is being helicoptered to Moscow. At a Central Committee meeting with General Secretary Gorbachev, Legasov objects to Deputy Prime Minister Boris Shcherbina's assessment that the situation is contained, and Gorbachev ends up sending both men to Chernobyl, where a new reading shows radiation is thousands of times higher than reported. Legasov urges Shcherbina to evacuate Pripyat, but Shcherbina worries about Moscow's reaction. As reports of the disaster spread to Europe, Shcherbina finally calls for an evacuation, even as Khomyuk makes her way to Chernobyl to warn Legasov and Shcherbina that a second and far more massive explosion is imminent – one that puts the entire European continent at risk.

Open Wide, O Earth

20 May 2019$3.99

April 30, 1986. After bribing her way into Hospital Number 6 in Moscow, Lyudmilla flouts a nurse's warnings about limiting her contact with Vasily. With the reactor fire finally contained, Legasov warns Shcherbina that a plant meltdown could contaminate drinking water for 50 million people. Determined to uncover the cause of the explosion, Khomyuk goes to the hospital to interview the men who were on the scene, drawing unwanted attention from the KGB. As miners dig a tunnel under the reactor to stave off a meltdown, Legasov lays out a decontamination plan for surrounding areas that will require drafting hundreds of thousands of men.

4The Happiness of All Mankind (Chernobyl) recap, spoilers

The Happiness of All Mankind

27 May 2019$3.99

As mandatory evacuations in the exclusion zone begin, Shcherbina and Legasov bring in General Tarakanov for advice on the use of remote-controlled lunar rovers to remove debris too radioactive for human contact. A young draftee, Pavel, arrives at a military camp, where he's shown the ropes by Bacho, an Afghan war vet. Khomyuk faces government-censor hurdles as she tries to obtain documents related to Soviet nuclear plants, and at the hospital, tries to persuade a critically ill Dyatlov to explain what happened the night of the explosion. When the radiation proves too dangerous for lunar rovers, Legasov and Shcherbina devise a plan to use men to remove debris with the least possible exposure.

03 June 2019$3.99

After being congratulated by the KGB for publicly affirming that the Chernobyl explosion was caused by "operator error," Legasov weighs the price of telling the truth at the upcoming criminal trial of Dyatlov, Bryukhanov and Fomin. As proceedings begin in Chernobyl City, Shcherbina, Legasov and Khomyuk lay out the scientific and human explanations as to what went wrong on the night of April 26, even as Shcherbina and Legasov show signs of deteriorating health. The events inside the control room leading up to the explosion are witnessed, and as Legasov's testimony comes to a close, he puts his reputation, and perhaps his life, at risk in hopes of preventing another Chernobyl.
