Anna-detektiv

I was absolutely blown away about how good the programme actually was. The set and costumes are brilliant and the characters develop as the episodes progress. It has a genuine naive atmosphere to it which I think was in keeping to the time. It is warm humoured without being over the top and I am not a romance fan at all but I really love the blossoming love affair and respect that Yakov and Anna have for each other. It truly is worth a watch. Best thing I've watched for a long time :)

Subtitles can be a challenge but I enjoyed storyline enough to buy the season 1 from Amazon Prime video. Hopefully there will be a season 2

I'm obsessed with this show. This is a mystery murder-of-the-week show, but it's really about the relationship between the two main characters - Anna, a young woman who sees ghosts/spirits, and Yakov, the police detective. I also liked all of the other regular characters - Anna's family, the detective's assistant, the neighbor, the newspaper reporter, the police chief, etc. I don't know much about 19th century Russian life, but the show very effectively conveys a sense of a previous era. Also, I love Anna's beautiful dresses. She seems to have at least one new one each episode. I've watched all 56 episodes... more than once.

There are flaws, but I am so captivated by the good parts of this series that I don't care.

I totally love it. The suspense. The woman clothes were exceptional. The love story between the detective and Anna made me binge watch all 56 episodes. All the characters were great. I really could take a little less of Anna mother. The uncle was a scamp. Truly a great series. I have only one complaint. The ending--I didn't watch all for that outcome. Please someone tell me there more.....

The detective component is not very spelled out, because it's a show about a Man and a Woman, doomed by fate to meet each other. It will, in spite of any obstacles. The acting is extraordinary, and Dmitry Frid in the lead role of Shtallman - space! The series has captured and touched to the core, forced him to think about such feelings, which had long forgotten.The creators of the series managed to convey the atmosphere of the time, despite some historical inaccuracies. Must see!
