I like Khodchenkova and Yuri Chursin (whom we call Shrimp after the famous short film). I like winter romance and stories about maniacs. But this series, having all the strong cards on its hands, managed to make something disgusting out of them. How did that happen? Because of these key things: 1. Operator work. As if watching a budget series in Russia 1 mid-zero. Given how much money was paid to the actors, the question is not the money, but professionalism. 2. Color correction. She's just gone. The responsible employee went on vacation, so the version seems to have been released without her. You can see the different cameras. And sometimes there is no banal lighting scenes. And not because they shouldn't be. Because it looks like the lights have moved to the remote as well. 3. The whole design of the series repeats the Scandinavian similar series about maniacs - the same long plans, the same surge. That’s just it all looks like an amateur work of schoolchildren. For example, the scene where behind the car of the heroine Khodchenkova is a frightening car of a stranger. Turn off the music and it will be Khodchenkova, who just drives in the car on the most ordinary day. The installer, it seems, can work remotely, but why did he also decide to do the work down his sleeves? 4. Screenplay. It's a little better than everything else, but it's still bad. The scene where the character of Yuri Chursin first takes his office. Who wrote the dialogue? Why do they just look stupid? So you don't see a serious investigator from Moscow, you see a shrimp in a jacket, and you laugh at every sentence. Seriously! Over every sentence of the actors! And this is just one very memorable example. I think that the main problem of the series is its director, who decided to show the “severe Russian reality” and went where he does not understand how it should be shown. Because her "Good Boy" hands were pretty good. And the second problem is the producer Sergey Melkumov, who because of his preferences expressed in the films Leviathan, Dylda, Chernobyl with Kozlovsky - either could not assemble a normal team of professionals, or did not want to. And I think that the statements of the characters about “half the country sat” and “half the country on the fly” is his personal initiative. They look inappropriate and stupid. When you want a series about a maniac in the far cold northern hinterland, you expect a different kind of dialogue.
