Whilst our screens have been dominated over decades if "over the top" and "exagerrated" versions of real life events that at times and in most cases usually steer away from the reality of what actually happened, "Chernobyl" is a perfect example of how to do it right! This mini drama series which is being classed as "The greatest Drama in TV history", proves that you do not need to make significant changes from the real events that took place to draw in your audience. "

"Chernobyl" is dark, gripping and a very depressing show. Exactly as it should be! The attention to detail is amazing and the team that worked on recreating everything from the buildings, rooms, surroundings, costumes and vehicles deserve huge credit. The look of Cherbobyl really does show how dark and depressing it was back in the 1980s when the event took place. As I stated, it truly does look like Hell on Earth, I couldn't imagine what the people of Chernobyl must have gone through, whether they lost their lives due to the radiation, made it to safety or what they may have witnessed during that time.

It has been said by those who worked on the series that this is more of a "reserved" telling of the events and that there were no reasons to "exagerrate" the events that took place. This of course refers to that although it tells the story pretty accurately, some of the true devastation that went on was far worse than what we see. I do agree with the creators as it could have made the series very difficult to watch, especially as it is well documented just how much effected Children at the time. The make up team did a great job showing the condition of the human body of some of the people affected by the radiation. It truly is frightening to think that it actually happened and so many unfortunate people suffered the way they did.
