Theres no doubt this series tells the story of Chernobyl well, with professional production and acting. Movies or shows based on real events tend to have this bias to them that increases ratings by at least 3 stars, simply because they actually happened.

This tv show is very good and worth watching, but is in not comparable to shows like Breaking bad, or Sherlock; movies such as Shawshank Redemption, or The Dark Knight. I understand a shows greatness is subjective, but this film just did not grip me nearly as much as other great ones have.

Simply put; Chernobyl seems a very necessary, quality, and educational production to be made, but at 9/10 it's overrated.
