This was the decade for 1980s nostalgia. We had Stranger Things reviving the children-get-into-danger genre of adventure, American Horror Story bringing back the slasher movie, a Blade Runner sequel, and so many more references everywhere in pop culture. But the '80s weren't all about shoulder pads and E.Ts wanting to go home; it was also a time of social turmoil and the start of all the technological advances that would lead us to a Black Mirror-style world. Depicting a real tragedy even in its gory details, Chernobyl reminds us of the pitfalls of human hubris, but also remembers our capacity in achieving heroic feats for the greater good. Taking place in a world where many want to deny reality and scientific facts, the show reveals the devastating costs of lies: eventually, the truth catches up with all of us. And by then, it's too late.
