Have you watched it?
HBO and Sky Atlantic’s new show Chernobyl has only aired for three weeks in the UK so far, with the mini-series having a total of only five episodes.
But it certainly seems to have struck a chord with fans, since it has managed to secure a higher rating on IMDb than Planet Earth 2, Breaking Bad and Game Of Thrones.
Chernobyl has become the top rated TV show on IMDb with a rating of 9.5 while over on Rotten Tomatoes, it also holds a rating of 96%.
Planet Earth 2 previously held the IMDb gong.
Chernobyl talks about the early hours of 26 April 1986, when a safety test on a reactor at the Chernobyl power plant in the Soviet state of Ukraine went catastrophically wrong.
Detailing the 1986 disaster, HBO and Sky Atlantic’s five-part mini-series dramatises the story of the nuclear accident, considered to be one of the worst man-made catastrophes in history, and the sacrifices made to save Europe from an unimaginable disaster.
