Yes, this is a truly national series. True, from analogues I still like ' Return of Mukhtar', but to ' Lanterns' in my opinion, he still falls short. In addition, over time, I have become more tolerant of the fact that individual series can be weak - if we are dealing with a series of 30-40 parts, then each of them can not be a masterpiece, it is simply unrealistic. There will definitely be ' sagging'.
'The streets of broken lights' I didn't always like the same thing. In the early seasons (particularly the first), the atmosphere was very different, especially when the early and late seasons were broadcast on different channels at the same time. I like the late seasons better. The early ones are nothing, but I wouldn’t be interested in watching them as many times as I want from anywhere. That’s how I look at the seasons later.
Each viewer has his or her own tastes, preferences and psychological makeup, and works of art may or may not match these characteristics. So, ': Streets of Broken Lanterns' starting around season 6 (i.e., 2004), perfectly fit my tastes. ' Mentov wars' cruel, ' Mysteries of the investigation' - too many family fights, ' Track' too simple in plots, ' Return of Mukhtar' - already close to ideal, but a little too glamorous. ' Streets of Broken Lanterns' Perfect. True, only since season 6, but we are talking about the 15th, so that applies to him too.
Of the actors involved here, I would like to consider Elena Kuprashevich in detail. I’m not going to say that she’s the best – all of them are good. But once I matched her heroines in 'lanterns' and in the film 'The Return'. When the same actress plays two people that are so different from each other, it is certainly a great talent. ' Return' I didn't like it too much, but in some ways it was a very instructive film - about how bad things can turn out if a person chose the wrong profession. Here Elena played a person who did not correspond to her profession (although her father chose her profession), and she felt sorry for her almost to tears. It's a completely different type, just nothing in common. This is really cool.
Of course, in 'lanterns' there are drawbacks. For example, in the later seasons I began to notice that Solovets somehow began to talk too intelligently with the criminal element. Sometimes it’s just annoying: why is he so almighty with them?! But still, the mood of this series suits me perfectly. I think I'll never get tired of him. Take some more, guys.
