With my own eyes
- Thriller.
- year 2012.
- Length: 1 season.
- IMDb: 6,50.
- Chip series: a new form.
Very high quality designer thriller that impressed all forms of narration, found the director, the operator and producer Zaur Bolotaeva.
We were told about the terrible mystical events that took place at the graduation of high school, that's just how to tell! Each series - is a subjective point of view of a character who only saw part of inexplicable events. This is what is called in the film POV (Point of view). This effect is achieved by way of shooting: the camera is mounted on the head of a hero, and we see everything through his eyes just as the game-walker.
In addition to the form, it should be noted the excellent drama series and incredibly authentic way of acting of existence. No wonder it was almost the first Russian TV series of recent times, who wanted to buy the Americans to do the adaptation. This can be proud of, because usually adaptations we buy.
another side of the moon
- Fiction, thriller, drama.
- year 2012.
- Duration: 2 seasons.
- IMDb: 7,70.
- Chip series: better adaptation of the original.
"Side of the Moon" - it just bought the adaptation of the British series "Life on Mars". And - lo and behold! - our series for its creativity to adapt has become much stronger than the original, and on the drama campaign setting (the world in which the story unfolds).
It retroserial. Yes, retro is already crammed on edge, and watch TV shows about the past is absolutely impossible. But this is an exception to the rule. Here the Soviet past, in which the protagonist, trumpeted so organically and wondering what is genuine interest. This helps the powerful engine of the series: the hero moved to the body of his father, and he will look at his parent's new look.
First season "far side" can be called great, and the second removed from the air due to too low ratings. Sometimes creators should accept the fact that a good show can be one season.
Sweet life
- Drama, comedy.
- year 2014.
- Duration: 3 seasons.
- IMDb: 7,00.
- Chip series: modern heroes with modern problems.
Very many people like to reproach the "sweet life" because "well, there are all wildly vulgar and did not have any idea of morality." That is why this series can be considered a kind of challenge to the old heroes and old values.
On television, there is an implicit format: it is necessary to create such a character that the viewer could be equal to it. It is desirable that he did not change sexual partners, and if the devil has beguiled and he went on to change to terribly repented and prayed for forgiveness.
It is believed that television should show the characters that are better than us. But the characters of "sweet life" do not bother at all about it. They are not better than us, they are the same as we are, and in some situations are worse settled on what we usually stops. They are really in a season a hundred times are changing partners with each other, but it is interesting more. Most of all do not take this series people whose life takes place around the same.
treason
- Melodrama.
- 2015.
- Length: 1 season.
- IMDb: 7,50.
- Chip series: the new model woman.
Unique in its boldness work in which almost for the first time decided to destroy the image of "women of the show." Screenwriter Dasha Gratsevich wrote about the heroine, who has a husband and three lovers. That is, the total number of its men - four. And it did not make it because of the word which you think.
Previously, if you come with such a history on the "First Channel", "Home", or any other, you would be sent to hell. Because the woman from the TV must be true, cook borscht and a lifetime love only one man. The creators of "change" said his TV series, "What nonsense is this ?!" - and brought in a new type of heroine ether.
She's strong, she was confused, she traumatized by past experience, and she is desperately trying to get out of that position, which turned out to be. And if you can catch in the first series myself thinking: "Four of these different men, uh, cool" - the next series show how it is psychologically difficult and even dangerous.
In addition to the drama worth noting supertochny directing and casting. Work on the show was very long, only one pilot episode retake four times because command "Change" has set itself the goal to do something qualitatively different than the usual Russian melodrama.
Method
- A detective thriller.
- 2015.
- Length: 1 season.
- IMDb: 7,40.
- Chip series: geroy- "Frankenstein" + real maniacs.
This series does not always respond well accepted. Many say that in some places suffer motivation of the main characters, and we will not argue with that. But do not notice the obvious advantage of the show, too, will not.
The creators of the "Method" - terrible, fans of "Dexter," "Luther" and "True Detective". They both wanted to do something like that taken from all television masterpieces gradually.
Meglin, the main character, a noble maniac like Dexter. But it is not just tracing. Dokruchen hero: he's a maniac, who copes with it and teaches other serial killers to control myself and do no harm to others. In Meglina as Dexter, there's a code of "maniac sober" rule from which each new series begins. We see a vaguely similar situation, have been in the "Luther", but very few of them, and they are resolved in a different way. And finally, from "True Detective" taken narrative form.
It would seem that for the freak can get if sew three of the series, transferred to the Russian soil, and even add their own. But this does not freak. After a few episodes, you get used to the oddities of the characters and the world and get the most important thing.
This series can be considered as a kind of guide to the Russian manyachestvu, and here's why. Each new series has a case that is based on a documentary history of the real maniac, acting in Russia and to destroy a lot of people. Now, if you already scared, you can answer the question why, in fact, watching these horrors.
Success of the series is to penetrate into the thinking of every serial killer. Thanks to the "Method" you begin to understand the logic of maniacs and, in fact, do not just look at the show, and guide "How not to fall into the hands of a serial killer." Because forewarned - means armed.
A policeman with Ruble
- Crime, Comedy, Drama.
- 2016.
- Length: 1 season.
- Chip series: a new type of police.
"A police officer with the ruble" (as well as "Major") brought to the screen a new kind of guardian of the rule of law. Previously, thanks to a series Cop TV shows on different channels at the image of the police was associated viewer with something scary, dark and not very pleasant. In the same series protagonist - a fashionable rich guy who came to the police and began quite honestly understand what is happening around. He has money, which means that the bribe he was not interested. He is interested in the truth and the search for self.
Thus, we get an attractive character, a cop who has even the cops can not be called. Well, that does not suit him this word, because he's cute, charming, and just in general we like it.
Work on good soap goes. Just not as fast as we would like. We must remember that we are lagging behind America in which neither the series, a masterpiece, at least 10 years. Therefore, it takes time.
