HBO managed to depict this chapter of the Chernobyl saga in a fraction of the time and never relied on manufactured melodrama to pad things out. Chernobyl 1986 tells a watered-down version of the same story, adding nothing new or revelatory – not even interesting characters – which makes its existence is sort-of superfluous. And why settle for a simple vanilla cone when a scrumptious sundae is available?
