After all 5 episodes I must say I am pretty impressed. Actors did a superb job of portraying the characters. Pacing throughout the show is stable and good, not too slow and not too fast but just right. I think the amount of episodes was just right to tell the story. No unneccesary dragging of endless episodes like some other shows. There may be a lot more to the story of Chernobyl that has not been told but I think the show told enough to cover the important parts and then some. The care for detail was pretty good as well and really gave me a good feel of the cold war era and I learned a thing or two. All in all the show captivated me and there was not a moment I felt like an episode, or the entire show for that matter, dragged on and wishing for it to end.

I would say; See the show for yourself and judge it accordingly.

I rated it a 9/10 because nothing can be perfect, but this is as close as it gets.
