HBO’s mini-series Chernobyl chronicles the real-life events of the tragic nuclear disaster which took place in April 1986, in the city of Chernobyl, Soviet Union. The makers of the show have done a remarkable job of taking this national tragedy, which is considered to be one of the worst nuclear disasters in the history of mankind, out of the textbook and put it on your screen. It’s the story about the heroes who put their lives at risk to save Europe from the deadly disaster.
