HBO's Chernobyl is pretty great but suffers one major design flaw creatively. 1 / 8
-
It lacks Russian or pseudo-Russian actors, taking away from its overall authenticity. 2 / 8
-
It's a co-production with Sky UK, so the cast is mostly British or Swedish. 3 / 8
-
They all speak English, which takes away from the Soviet essence. 4 / 8
-
This diminishes the show as a documentary, and makes it more dramatized fiction. 5 / 8
-
HBO could have used Bulgarian and Romanian actors, for example. 6 / 8
-
Instead, the main and supporting cast makes this feel like any random British series. 7 / 8
-
