Chernobyl series is far from being a documentary. Even though it's a dramatized version of the tragic incident, it has an abundance of emotions. The show which starts from the time of the incident moves at a brisk pace. The creators have edited the series brilliantly to keep the audience engaged.

There is a certain sense of eerie calmness to the scenes post-evacuation, which takes the viewer straight to Chernobyl and the plight of the residents in the aftermath. The cinematography is crisp with a lot of emphasis on wide-shots to capture the magnitude. At the same time, individual emotions are captured with a lot of integrity through close-up shots.

The stellar multi-accented cast have done their job to the hilt. It's surprising that the cast have gone ahead with their own accents, rather than focusing on changing it to Russian. You might be subjected to a lot of British tonality owing to a large portion of the cast from the nationality.

As a series, Chernobyl sheds light much on the aftermath and the ensuing cover-up of the incident. It isn't necessarily trying to paint someone bad. What it rather does is portray an honest depiction of emotions, and re-building of a nation that will take the cumulative efforts and bravery of generations to come.
