Taking to Twitter, Dan explained how much he has enjoyed the Sky Atlantic programme, which has been a hit with critics and audiences alike. Based on the nuclear disaster in the north of the Ukrainian USSR in 1986, the show has garnered reviews hailing it as one of the greatest ever shows created. And now Dan has waded in with his view on exactly why the public should be watching it.
He tweeted: “I know everyone is going on about it but if you haven’t seen Chernobyl you really need to.
“It’s an incredible history lesson and I spend ages after each episode googling all the things they mention.
“It is an AMAZING piece of TV.”
Dan has recently been embroiled in various Twitter spats.

Last week, he replied to a tweet from Leeds United football club.
Derby County lost in the Championship Playoff Final on Monday and following their loss, Leeds poked fun at the Midlands club.
Following that tweet, Dan replied with a vomit emoji.
After Dan’s tweet, a Leeds fan quickly responded: “I think the ‘banter’ should be left to the fans, but you’ve made yourself look very biased by only calling out one team.”
Dan replied with a fairly balanced response saying that Leeds’ original tweet was a “little below the belt”.
Dan first took his place on the BBC Breakfast sofa as one of the main presenters after Bill Turnbull, 63, announced he was leaving following 15 years on the show.
His BBC Breakfast co-host is Louise Minchin.
In a recent interview with The Daily Mirror, Dan and Louise spoke out about their friendship.
Louise has claimed that they regularly help each other out of tight spots on air.
She said: “I think we’re both team players.
“And so many times Dan gets me out of trouble or I get him out of trouble.”
BBC Breakfast airs weekdays at 6am on BBC One.
