HBO’s Chernobyl, a historical drama miniseries created and written by Craig Mazin is by now on everyone’s watchlist.
The TV series received rave reviews from all quarters and has an ensemble cast led by Jared Harris, Stellan Skarsgård and Emily Watson among others.
The show is based on the April 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster and the unprecedented cleanup efforts that followed. The source material for the show was Voices from Chernobyl, a book that contained recollections of Pripyat locals as told by Belarusian Nobel laureate Svetlana Alexievich.
