street I don’t think many people will be able to handle the entire series of the sitcom “Street” (over 80, and the series is still being shot), but I survived. It is no secret that now a lot of time is spent in search of viewing something worthwhile, so when once again there was a question of how to spend evening leisure and what you can hang on, I remembered “Street”, in general, watchable.
I have already written a review of Olga, in principle, much in tune with what was written earlier. Again, Kadnikova, the same script group, the same problems, prescribed dialogues for which special people are responsible, sometimes futile attempts to laugh, little humor, but this is not fatal. And one more “but”: here at least we can see new faces of hitherto unknown actors or just friends of authors from Perm, and this is a small, but stream of fresh. To be honest, some of them are some kind of live, although it is clear that they say memorized dialogues and were not filmed by Mikhalkov.
"Street" is : some suburbs, unpretentious yard, in whose houses live different people, united partly by common problems. Local store, beauty salon, sauna, gym, shopping center, school, favorite diner-fast food, garages, mentovka, street, lantern, pharmacy - all this is present.
Morality is not enough here: conscience torments not every guilty person, a narc-philosopher - bought up all the pharmacy pipettes, pensioners - to murmur their lot, married couples - quarrel, reconcile, cheat, divorce, converge, etc., young people are drunk on the playground, giving an example to already deranged teenagers, among whom boys listen to rap and fight, girls muddle with boys in search of love through thorns and mistakes, and all together they often skip school; a local person, at least, does not hide from a bad attitude to a schoolgirl, who does not love me, at least for a week. Everyone sleeps with each other - today Olya was going to marry Kostya, tomorrow she went to another who left Ksyusha, because she went to Leha, who had previously kissed Svetka, and Vitasya met with one, mutated with another, then he liked the girlfriend of a friend who suffered from love for a taika, to whom Zhenya was jealous, who nobody likes, because fat and angry, etc., etc., all this Santa Barbara near Moscow is endless. And all this diverse contingent loves, suffers, sympathizes, helps and just lives as he can. "Street" is all about it. It is not boring to watch, even what excitement takes: how all this street bacchanalia ends.
As mentioned earlier, there are important issues here. They are not close to me, but they probably exist somewhere on a recognizable scale. School love, teenage passions in the difficult period of growing up in the frame of protest and the slogan "I am already an adult-independent, and it is too late to tell about pestiles and stamens"; school lawlessness on the part of teachers, corruption, prostitution, family quarrels and the desire to save the marriage or destroy it into ruin, betrayals in the name and without, the ability to love, forgive and believe in the best; unrequited love, revenge; money, honesty, self-interest, support, a sense of neighbor's elbow, betrayal, resentment; the rich (empty chickens with less stupid and poor husbands in this kindness) In short, a colorful kaleidoscope of passions, human weaknesses, vices and virtues.
It is up to you to watch or not to watch, but if you do not strain the 25-minute series about the life of the backyard, then choose the first.
P.S. How cool it is to be the first to write a review of The Street.
