National cuisine and not only “What’s the matter with you over there?” Why no nails?

After a very unsuccessful for the mixers of 2020, the authors of the franchise pleased us with a rather interesting "ABC of Peoples' Friendship" - a project that could well become a continuation of "Pin-Code". Several short series are dedicated to the peoples of Russia, and tells about them Karych – an experienced traveler and a great lover of legends.
Surprisingly, this “ABC” makes a better impression than “New Season”, since the writers do not rush to extremes and try to weave characters into a new format as carefully as possible. And the format is quite interesting, because there are people in the training inserts, so the mixers literally live in the same world with a reasonable person. Although stop, "ABC" is not a canon... The ABC of professions of the future strongly contradicted other projects, but there are no such inconsistencies here. Perhaps because the series does not last long and most of the time is devoted to the stories of Karych.
To prevent the series from looking like boring lectures, the authors took the trouble to add some funny scenes. I was especially amused by the series “Crown Song”, in which Karych talks about the peoples of Western Siberia during a dizzying trip. The most interesting is, of course, the “Museum of Kar-Karych”. After watching it, I realized that this was the episode I had been waiting for in Smeshariki for many years. That is, the authors of correctly grasped the essence of and very successfully revealed what was planned.
The informative content in this ABC is also pleasantly surprising. Although I am a lover of geography, I have never heard of the Yakut showroom before Smeshariki. Our world is big and, using the images of your favorite round heroes, you can tell a lot of interesting things.
To the disadvantages of the "ABC of Friendship of Peoples" I can only attribute the fact that "in some series there is an understatement". For example, the finale of the series “Treasure” openly hints at a possible continuation, but it is not. Apparently, the expectation was that interested viewers themselves will google new information. And in the series “Surprise” would not hurt a reference with moose to “Cooking”. In general, moose is globally lacking. Karych, of course, the character is interesting, but to hear the opinion of Loose about the peculiarities of different cultures would also be curious.
In any case, the ABC of Friendship of Peoples deserves high praise from me.
