He tweeted, "Binge-watched @HBO's CHERNOBYL. Terrifying, exciting, heartbreaking. If this one does not win a truckload of Emmys, there is no justice in Hollywood. And special shout out to the talented @JaredHarris for his amazing performance…”
‘Chernobyl’ has also become the highest-rated IMDb TV show surpassing ‘Game of Thrones’ and ‘Breaking Bad’. The show retells the massive explosion of the nuclear power plant in Ukraine on April 26, 1986, and its aftermath. The explosion released radioactive material across Belarus, Russia and Ukraine and as far as Scandinavia and western Europe.
