If You Have to Watch 1 HBO or Max Show in April 2025, Stream This 1 Now
The one HBO and Max show you should watch this April is a powerful dramatization of a traumatic event that happened nearly 40 years ago
Other fantastic performances come from Stellan Skarsgård( Good Will Hunting) as Boris Shcherbina, another real Russian official who chose the pursuit of truth over his own political career, and Emily Watson(Breaking The Waves) as Ulana Khomyuk, a tenacious nuclear physicist based on the many scientists who relentlessly investigated the explosion. The physical effects of radiation poisoning are on full display in Chernobyl, and the viewer can’t help but have a visceral response to the realistic makeup and prostheses used to bring its horrors to life. Chernobyl also takes its viewers inside the fiery depths of a nuclear reactor, and the explosions and other disasters feel far more real and less bombastic than what you’d see in your typical action movie or show.
