Chernobyl is heavy, tense, and hauntingly real. It strips away drama and lets the truth do the damage—showing how lies, fear, and ego can be just as deadly as radiation. Quietly terrifying and deeply human, it stays with you long after it ends. It took me sometime to shift my focus after watching Czernobyl.
