It's quite a serious, grim look at an infamous event, but such is the amount of drama, intrigue, USSR secrets and processes it includes, and the fact that it is only a short series, everybody needs to know how to watch Chernobyl online. 

Coming out pretty much straight after Game of Thrones' infamous final season in 2019, it took the TV world by storm and received near-unprecedented levels of critical acclaim. So much so that it actually overtook the usual behemoths at the top of popular ranking websites after only a couple of episodes, and it has established itself as another unmissable TV program of recent years. Putting it simply, it may not be an 'enjoyable' series in the traditional sense, or particularly cheery, but you need to watch Chernobyl online now. 

The mini-series - only five episodes, so it's a short binge - brilliantly retells the story of the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear power plant disaster. From the night of the disaster to its actual occurrence, and from the horrible effects it had on people and the surrounding landscape, to the political machinations of the Soviet Union that tried to contain and suppress the event, and all with accurately horrifying realism. What results is a short series full of intrigue, tension, drama and grimness, all based on historical facts - themselves equally morbidly interesting. Much of the latter only coming to light years after the event following decades of obfuscation and cover-ups. It's a gripping series that'll long be regarded in the top echelons of TV, so you need to know how to watch Chernobyl online.
