Pishcheblok

An entertaining, rather well-staged Russian horror in compliance with all the classical canons of these films. It is suitable for modern youth, and milking lovers to nostalgic for their pioneer childhood. A good cast, decent special effects, suitable music.

The series continues to be in suspense in both the first and second seasons. But if the first was pretty clear and interesting, then the second makes you stop watching every few minutes. You have to independently analyze the lore of the series and try to connect the events with each other. It's a little annoying, because it's not a fact that you got it right and to confirm your theory you need to wait for the full season or read the book. Also the creators went too far with forcing music, there must be moments when it is ordinary. In general, the series is interesting, which is rare for Russian cinema.

Firstly, the atmosphere of the 80s of the last century, the spirit of the pioneer camp are perfectly conveyed. Even the small details in the background are done correctly. Secondly, acting is also great. Naturally, the older generation of actors looks great, but child actors don't let you down either. Thirdly, the plot itself is also breathtaking, there is horror, drama, and comedy.

In short, it's a great series.

Kitchenblock does not cause any feelings at all. You just wasted eight hours of time. A great tie and deep correspondence of the era is commendable. It can be seen that they tried to transfer the life of children's summer pioneer camps. But everything else is not in any comparison at all. Terrible stretched plot, idiotic representation of vampires, and just disgusting computer animation in the last series. The series wants to be a horror or a thriller, but there is no suspense in it. This is more a vampire sitcom.

Nice actors, especially Angelina Stretchina is so very engaging and captivating. The story so far keeps interest as well, looking for the next episode. One of the better shows from Russia.
