A slow starter but stick with it. By episode 6 you will be hooked! I promise...no really! Fascinating glimpse into life in Russia. Well acted and compelling dark, dark drama

The growing feelings between the two main characters is so very realistic. The acting is superb. Respect, love, understanding and caring for one another brings the familiarity home. I would love to be friends with these characters.

Although I cannot imagine the cruel ways a serial murder dreams op and enacts his horrible deeds, the series portrays human beings doing the work they chose to do and completing it,no matter how hard the task. It reveals the need for acceptance and love and that one cannot live in isolation forever(Meglin), nor keep secrets from your daughter as Esenya's father tried to do! The love that slowly grows between the two main characters is admirable as it seems unlikely to happen given the circumstances. You find yourself hoping for a miracle for their sake. Loved the acting and the tone of the setting was as sad as the murders being investigated.

Overall a refreshingly different type of cops and robbers set in the Russian capital. Beautifully filmed and acted. This has a pleasant and dark underlying feel. All the usual cop cliches, cops are the same the world over! Should keep you going until the end, is this the new scany noir?

WORK IN PROGRESS

With each episode I liked the series more. Starting like classical procedural (policeman/woman + some strange character), we delve deeper and deeper to the dark world of twisted minds and worn out settings of backstage Russia. Cumberbatches Sherlock or Hannibal comes to mind. Outstanding acting of Konstantin Khabenskiy seconded more or less succesfully by Paulina Andreeva.
