    On this note, one of the best Cosmic Horror shows of all time was Chernobyl on HBO.

    A story of a small town affected by forces outside anyone’s understanding. Terrible, primal, cosmic power unleashed and uncontained threatening the entire world. It kills indiscriminately in the most horrible ways, melting people alive and contaminating all it touches after escaping a high-security confinement.

    A plucky team of brave souls work tirelessly to find some way to stop the monster from burrowing into the Earth and gaining even more power in a race against time.

    And what’s most amazing is no part of it is exaggerated or sensationalized, it’s so accurate to reality that even the actors look like their real-life counterparts. The showrunners went on to work on The Last of Us.
