The show is great, and it reaching this level of notoriety is amazing. Yet, it just goes to show you how everything is marketing and timing. If this show isn't on HBO, and isn't following the exit of Game of Thrones does it even get noticed? For example, The Terror, which in my opinion is just as good as this show (and features a better performance by the same actor in Chernobyl) was not only ignored by viewers but by critics alike. TV Critics are, in my opinion, completely useless and only ever write articles about popular shows. Best of lists you usually see at the end of the year make me wonder if these people even watch the shows.

It was a co-production with a British company, so over there it has no connection to HBO at all. > TV Critics are, in my opinion, completely useless and only ever write articles about popular shows. Maybe TV critics giving positive reviews to a show helps make it popular?
- arethuza 7y agoOn Sky here in the UK it does say that it is a co-production with HBO Miniseries.
