Chernobyl has become the highest rated show on IMDB.

Stellan Skarsgård made a tremendous job developing the character of Boris Shcherbina. He was so convincing, so authentic.

[Hauerization]

Im calling it right now - Chernobyl is gonna clean house on ANY award cermony.

[SCharlesDennicon]

Skarsgard is wonderful in Chernobyl. I knew I was gonna be impressed by Jared Harris, but Skarsgard's performance... wow.

[SandWolf_]

I'm all for these two in a buddy cop tv series. True Detective S4, anyone?

[percyplant]

Two brilliant Actors
Their screen chemistry is so on point and both act so fluidly and perfectly.

[kaylo]

This series should walk away with every award there is. It is a masterpiece. No other series has ever affected me like this one has.

Nailed that "Boris Shcherbina" pronunciation.

These two were awesome in Chernobyl !

Jared in the courtroom scene really looked vulnerable, I wanted to give him a hug.

[OggyTheTiger]

"they mistakenly sent the one good man" They saved so much through sacrifice. I think they couldn't have portrait it any better

[youngman]

Jared Harris is an underrated but great actor. Harris, Skarsgard, Emily Watson - phenomenal. Script is beyond great. Perhaps the best part of this is the cinematography. Having lived in Eastern Europe from 1990-92 and traveled to the Ukraine - this captures the look so very well.

[NatsumiMichi]

Skarsgard: "They said Jared was in it..."
Harris: "They said *you* were in it..."


Hah! Well played :3

[apriliarider]

These two are very powerful on screen together. I have only watched the first three episodes but this show has really gotten a hold of me.

[Spectans]

I remember watching one show quite long ago called Game of... something, dont really remember the name. All I know that this series is much better.

[pseudomaki]

Man it’s so hard to believe Stellan Skarsgård is the same guy who played the scientist in Thor. What a versatile actor! Both of these guys deserve Emmys for their respective performances in Chernobyl!

[NandiCollector]

Chernobyl is an absolute "must watch" series, not only for the acting, correct historical description but also to feel the drama and psychological trauma that thousand people of this tragedy have suffered.

[missylissy]

I love their scenes! When Shcherbina hugged Legasov in episode 4, that was a strangely wholesome moment in the midst of all the tragedies. Also, his personality development shows that there might actually be good in everyone.

[blueskybelyr]

They're both so GOOD, like so magnetic as actors. Great to see them front and centre in a show like this.
