Chernobyl begins with a harrowing echo of “What is the cost of the lies?” over the tape recorder, a cold afterthought in hindsight which sets in motion a reluctant reconstruction of truth. HBO’s latest mini-series offering, Chernobyl is 5 part reenactment of Chernobyl Nuclear Disaster of 1986; a gargantuan, once-in-a-decade accident with a legacy that haunts both the present living and dead.
