This serie is a great cinematic piece of art. Story is great, actors are great, setting and details are great. Besides it is super fun to watch it shows real life in a super natural way. All actors are not playing a characters but living the characters.

Amazing plot and cast. Fantastically high level of realism and drama. It was a pleasure to see such a masterpiece.

Intersectionality of Russian life is perfectly portrayed in this TV-series. The artistic tools, comedy and drama, are blended into the entertaining plot detailing Russian sexual workers. The storyline raises a debate on unspoken things in suburban communities - sexuality, masculinity, feminism, corruption, social mobility. The show has a significant allusion to Charlie's Angels movies with one exception, prostitutes were determined to escape from any further assignments. They were under male dominance, but the shadow economy (corrupt officials, fraud realtors) created obstacles to their goals. All of the scenes look incredibly plausible and incorporate a lot of elements from the modern criminal life of Russia.
