Jared Harris – Chernobyl

When something is based on a true story, you always think that there is nothing to discover and that it’s all just about paying lip service. This isn’t the case with “Chernobyl.” It’s based on the actual nuclear disaster that shook the Russian city in 1986 and still scars it today.

“Chernobyl” details the heroics and technical work that curtailed a worldwide catastrophe. But just when you thought everything had already been exposed, the finale brings politics into it and desperate blame shifting that get pretty dangerous. Jared Harris put in a masterful performance in the lead role and did so again in a 2021 series called “Foundation.”
