Just 18 of our favourite tweets about Chernobyl, the drama everyone’s talking about
Forget about Game of Thrones – oh, you already have – it feels like another Sky drama, Chernobyl, is the one everyone’s talking about.
The five-part drama starring Jared Harris, Stellan Skarsgård and Emily Watson currently rates 9.7 out of 10 on IMDb and really is as good as everyone says it is.

Watch the series Chernobyl. Awesome. Many lessons for today. Quote from beginning of first show: “What is the cost of lies? It's not that we'll mistake them for the truth. The real danger is that if we hear enough lies, then we no longer recognize the truth at all.”

The sound of a dosimeter is the scariest thing I’ve heard on TV in eons. #Chernobyl #ChernobylHBO

Chillnobyl: watching an episode of Chernobyl with a special someone then clinging to one another afterwards at the stark realization of how fragile and expendable we all are and the sheer razors edge that humanity exists on as we carelessly tamper with the forces of nature

The typeface they are using for HBO’s “Chernobyl” is just as excellent as the show itself: pic.twitter.com/0PPs7qkWxY

Chernobyl was written by Craig Mazin, who wrote The Hangover 2 & The Hangover 3.

I get that Chernobyl “happened” & it’s good for people to know “facts,” but I think its producers should still go to prison for making “me” see what happened to the first responders in episode 3. Mother fuck.

It's impossible to watch HBO's CHERNOBYL without thinking of Donald Trump; like those in charge of the doomed Russian reactor, he's a man of mediocre intelligence in charge of great power–economic, global–that he does not understand.

you know things are bad when we’re using a show about chernobyl as escapism

ME AFTER THREE EPISODES OF “CHERNOBYL”: Man, that was rough in places but so good.
ME AFTER EPISODE FOUR: If you’ll excuse me I need to stay in a fetal position until 2035.

The finale of #Chernobyl is going to piss so many people off when they see how Bran becomes president of the USSR. #ChernobylHBO

Chernobyl is a very good show, I can’t wait for season 2.
*reads history book*
Shit.

And here’s what the writer said.
If it makes the rest of you feel better, my wife (who I refused to show Chernobyl to until it aired, so she's watching it like the rest of you) just keeps saying "GOD DAMMIT!"

In short …
Fuck. Chernobyl is good
