Pes

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.

I happened across this series on Amazon Prime and I was hooked from the first episode. The characters, the stories, and of course, the Dog(!), are great. Check it out.

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.

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.

I love this show. Funny, great dialogue, wonderful chemistry between Max and the dog. Dying for season 3. Nikita Panfilov is really appealing, but I'd like it even if he weren't so easy on the eyes :) Thanks Amazon for the suggestion!
