With the ending of "Game of Thrones," they were completely concerned about the future of HBO, the network that produced and broadcasted the highly popular series. Of course, they preceded it and published "Chernobyl," a five-episode miniseries that currently holds the first place on IMDb, as best liked ever.
Since Tuesday, "Chernobyl" is estimated at 9.7 / 10 by about 140 thousand users of the site. The last series of series was aired on HBO on June 3rd.
This means that "Chernobyl" went through "Breaking Bad" that is rated 9.5 / 10, "Planet Earth II" (9.5), "Band of Brothers" (9.5), Planet Earth (9.4), Game of Thrones 9.3) and "The Wire" (9.3).
The serial in question dramatizes the massive explosion of the nuclear plant in Ukraine on 26 April 1986. "Chernobyl" was filmed at a location in Ukraine and partly in a non-functional nuclear power plant in Lithuania.
The series was created, written and executive producer Craig Mazin. Directed by Johan Renck, who previously worked with Breaking Bad.
Jared Harris plays the protagonist role of Valery Legasov, a Soviet nuclear physicist; Stellan Skarsgard plays the vice. Soviet Prime Minister Boris Shcherbina, who is tasked by the Kremlin to lead the government commission in Chernobyl after the accident; and Emily Watson, plays Ulana Khomyk, a nuclear physicist devoted to the discovery of the cause after the explosion.
