This is just a fantastic series. Richly developed characters. Great dialog. Beautifully shot. The character Anna steals your heart from the first episode as she tries to solve the many mysteries she encounters, and as she develops into a strong-willed woman while, trying to keep her optimism and innocence in tact. This is a great murder mystery series with a compelling love story at its heart.
I loved, loved, loved this show! Granted, it took a while to get through all 56 episodes, but it was well worth it. There are some flaws in production, e.g., I noticed a couple of clips from scenes were reused in a few episodes, but I am sure that had to do with budget, rather than any lack of creativity. I, personally, did not find the age difference between Anna and Yakov hard to embrace for purposes of their budding romantic relationship. It makes sense for the period in which the series takes place. All the other areas in this production were superlative, from the sets/scenes, to the costumes, to the writing, and to the acting. I, too, searched the Internet for information about season two or three (?), and found a wonderful update on Dimitriy Frid's Facebook page. He indicated they had started filming again in early March, but discontinued a couple of weeks later, presumably due to the coronavirus. I hope they begin filming again as soon as the Russian "safer at home" orders are lifted. In any event, I rewatched all 56 episodes, fast forwarding through much of it. The ending was truly a gritty, suspenseful cliffhanger, and I am eagerly awaiting additional episodes for resolution of all the intrigue, subplots, and relationships. Specifically, what's up with Jean Lasalle and his last words / scene with Anna? What's up with Anton, and his last words spoken out of earshot of Anna? What's up with Dr. Miilts, and his relationships with Alice / others. What's up with the Prince and his duel / last scene with Anna? Most importantly, what's up with the 'matchless' Yakov Shtolman?
I didn't expect much, but after the first couple episodes, it really got my interest. It is an excellent show, fascinating script, great acting/chemistry, beautiful Russian countryside scenery, and realistic periodical background. Granted, watching it with subtitle was not easy, but it didn't take away the brilliance of the show. I think it'd be much more well-known and popular if the show is on Netflix, such underrated gem!
I totally love it. The suspense. The woman clothes were exceptional. The love story between the detective and Anna made me binge watch all 56 episodes. All the characters were great. I really could take a little less of Anna mother. The uncle was a scamp. Truly a great series. I have only one complaint. The ending--I didn't watch all for that outcome. Please someone tell me there more.....
Subtitles can be a challenge but I enjoyed storyline enough to buy the season 1 from Amazon Prime video. Hopefully there will be a season 2
