As scary as the game! HBO's new drama "Chernobyl" preview

The Farm 51's new horror game Chernobyl has been launched on Steam, and HBO's new miniseries Chernobyl, which is also based on the 1986 Ukrainian nuclear power plant explosion, also released a new trailer today. Although it is a realistic biographical series, this new HBO series has the same "sense of horror" as the game. So what is this series like? Let's go to the trailer to find out!

HBO's new drama "Chernobyl" preview:

The TV series "Chernobyl" is set in April 1986, when the explosion occurred, and about two years later in 1988. As a historical biographical TV series, "Chernobyl" finally restores the truth of the whole incident. Compared with the game, the more realistic fear after the nuclear explosion gives people a more terrifying experience. Most of the show was filmed in Lithuania. The creators said that they chose Lithuania mainly because they have an outstanding crew, very beautiful scenes, and many buildings from the former Soviet era that are still preserved today. The nuclear power plant that exploded is also in Lithuania. Kiev, the capital of Ukraine, is also one of the filming locations.

The "Chernobyl incident" is a nuclear reactor accident at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. The accident is considered the most serious nuclear power accident in history and the first major accident rated as a Level 7 event by the International Nuclear Event Scale. At 1:23 am on April 26, 1986, the No. 4 reactor of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near Pripyat, Ukraine, exploded. The continuous explosions caused a fire and emitted a large amount of high-energy radioactive materials into the atmosphere. These radioactive dust covered a large area. The radiation dose released by this disaster is more than 400 times that of the atomic bomb exploded in Hiroshima during World War II.
