Chernobyl’s advantages include a premium cable network’s budget, a cast of tried thespians instead of marquee celebrities, an intelligently crafted story about an engaging real-world event, and a fat-trimmed five-episode run that doesn’t overstay its welcome.
Nothing else like it in the Top 10, that’s for sure.
In any case, Chernobyl stands a decent-to-impressive chance to remain the highest-ranked show on IMDb for many, many years, since it would take another extremely precise project to come around and top it.
