Chernobyl gets the job done. Despite being severely fictionalized, often misleading and factually inaccurate, and clearly designed for an American audience, this miniseries creates a haunting, emotional depiction of the horrors of nuclear energy that essentially hits the mark. The impact will be greatest for those who have not seen or read anything about it before. Ironically, it emphasises communistic Russia as the reason for corruption, propaganda and the perversion of justice - yet the very same tragedies surround us at the hands of capitalistic power and corruption.
