Right, well with all the hype that the 2019 HBO mini-series "Chernobyl" have been getting, of course I would also eventually buckle and cave in, giving in to sitting down and watching all 5 episodes.

And I ended up watching all 5 episodes in a continuous go; binge watching the entire mini-series. The creator, Craig Mazin, was really good at spellbinding the audience with each episode and leaving you wanting to know and see more, thus you continue on with one episode after another.

I was 11 years old when this accident happened, and living in Denmark, we were just mildly affected by the repercussions of the nuclear accident. So it was something that sort of struck a bell with me.

This story, while it is tragic and terribly, was also interesting and fascinating at the same time, especially with the way that it was presented throughout the mini-series.

There is a great abundance of very nicely cast actors and actresses performing in "Chernobyl", and I must say that especially Jared Harris and Stellan Skarsgård stood out phenomenally. But actually everyone that appeared in the mini-series were nicely cast and put on good performances.

But after the third episode, it felt like most of the steam started to vent from the balloon and the mini-series started to loose its iron grip and events became less intense and hard-hitting. But still, it was an enjoyable mini-series from start to end, no doubt about that.

Personally, I think the HBO mini-series is hyped up a bit too much, and the high rating is sort of strange to me. Yes, "Chernobyl" was good and entertaining, an enjoyable production for sure, but it was hardly a masterpiece, which the high rating gives way to believe.

And after having binge watched all 5 episodes, I doubt that I will ever return to watch "Chernobyl" a second time. While it was interesting and enjoyable, there simply wasn't enough meat to this mini-series that could substantiate a second viewing for me. Already familiar with the storyline and the events, there would be nothing to lure me back a second time.
