Pes

I also came across this by accident, and found it charming and addictive. Unlike the flash and sleek US crime shows this has heart, laughs, great acting and of course the dog.

Sadly there are not a lot of good Ukrainian TV shows nowadays, but "The Dog" ("{Pes}") is an example of a good exception.

The show combines a good pace, catchy stories, interesting characters, and humor. Even though one of the characters is overwhelmingly dumb and comic, it just adds additional flavor to the show.

Every time I happen to accidentally find this show on TV, it makes me stay and watch it.

As detective stories go, these are unabashedly formulaic, cliche ridden, rough edged ... yet the humor, creative writing, and cast of characters - and especially the charismatic performances of Panfilov ("Maks"), and nec, ("Dog") - make this show a binge-watcher for me.

Series that tastes good.

Adorable & smart shepherd dog, great actors, dynamic line, exciting crime twists and funny Gnezdilov. Dog (pes) helps with crimes and punish bad boys.

I found this show by accident and absolutely adore it! Some of the translations are off, but it's still very well done! I love all of the characters! Their backstories are well developed and the pace in each episode is perfect. The scenery is beautiful too! I just wish Gnezdilov wasn't so mean to Dog. I'm about to finish season 2, but I really hope their are more seasons to come! I also wish they would do some season preview type things with interviews with the actors, actresses, and producers. It would be neat to see how they create such lovely filmography every episode. I highly recommend this diamond of a show!!
