Literally 30 Accurate Memes About Our New TV Obsession ‘Chernobyl’
HBO’s five-part miniseries Chernobyl is enthralling viewing, and if you haven’t watched it yet then what are you actually doing with your life.
The series tracks the events of Chernobyl, the most disastrous nuclear accident in history, which led to the deaths of thousands of people, although the official death toll is unknown.
Inspired by true events, the series offers a fictionalised version of what went down during the nuclear disaster and has become the highest rated TV show on IMDb of all time.
It is truly addictive viewing and as the series concluded this week, it has since inspired some incredible memes.
Here are 20 incredibly accurate memes about Chernobyl:

I can't get past the British accents on Chernobyl. "Well blimey looks like we is in a bit o' bovva wif the Central Comi'ee when I has to tell 'em me reactor's burnin' innit?"

I finished #Chernobyl lastnight, then went to sleep and dreamt my bedroom had turned into the control room of reactor No. 4, and I had managed to stop the power increasing so much that the core didn’t explode. Great bloody show though!

Saw a person say “imagine how scary it would be if something like #Chernobyl really happen”
Me resisting to not call her a fn idiot was tough but I did it.

Not saying I'd like there to be another nuclear disaster, but I wouldn't say no to a second series of Chernobyl.

Now I just need to find something new to watch to fill the gaping void in my life.
