Finally again heroes - scientists Excellent historical plot, presented dynamically (especially the first 4 series) and fascinating.
The story begins on August 6, 1945, when the United States dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima.
It’s great to see the work of scientists again. The script is very successful, almost detective in intensity, tells about the process of creating an atomic bomb, which laid the foundation for the entire nuclear energy of our country.
I really liked the image of Beria performed by Vitaly Kovalenko. Chain look, talent of the manager, behind the scenes about his addictions (for initiates). Charismatic Kurchatov and Khariton performed by Mikhail Khmurov and Andrei Smelov.
Evgeny Tkachuk played, as always, on aortic rupture. But questions arise about the image he created. Can the camp instill in the brilliant scientist habits ' small market urka'? Rather, it can close or anger. According to the drawing of the role, it is obvious that the director, together with the actor, conceived to show the evolution of the hero, the purification of his soul through great love. But I would like it to be made thinner, more filigree. I can’t believe half of the film can’t believe that we have a scientist, known in the world and studied in Switzerland.
Kirill Muromtsev (the hero of Viktor Dobronravov) was pleasant to watch throughout the film: a strong, decent man, a scientist from the sokha. Interesting seemed the heroine Aglaia Tarasova with a difficult personal drama.
In my opinion, the focus on the love triangle in the second half of the series was not so important, the film becomes ' viscous' from that. Screenwriters, producers and directors seemed to be afraid that science alone will not catch the viewer. However, in fact, the process of work, disputes of scientists, discussions was more fascinating than any melodramatic moves.

PS. By the way, to my surprise, I found on Kinopoisk that in 2013 a series of the same name was created, dedicated also to the creation of a bomb, but the emphasis in it is on espionage work to obtain information.
