I absolutely loved it. The characterisations were very compelling and the storyline fascinating. The overall feel of the series was professional and interesting. Thought the acting was very good, and I loved the dynamic relationships and realistic feel of it all (although much of the story was decidedly unrealistic!). It's one I won't soon forget, or the many tears which accompanied it.

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.

This was a tough one to finish. Don't get me wrong, I just started my second time through, so it's obviously worth the value of my subjective time. Nevertheless, each episode brought a moment when I asked myself "why am I watching." However, each episode, and the ending, was well worth every moment; this, the rating.

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.

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
