What a wild mix of characters! Gogol's family servant, the doctor, the "police chief" and of course Gogol himself...all could be hilariously outrageous, including some very witty, sharp dialogue here and there.
If they could have maintained the more camp quality throughout it would have worked better.
But ultimately, the story, character decisions and development altogether became rather silly and (to me) not so enjoyable...particularly the religious and occult content. I round it up to 6.
But it is great to see a quality production from Russia.
It's okay. Some characters are amusing and unique to see...but the Mandalorian himself is as bland as someone always wearing a helmet would be, and he is predictably safe in all the (poorly choreographed) fight scenes.
Do not go into this imagining it's as good as a 9.1 rating. Even if you like it a lot it isn't close to that. Reviews are getting more and more absurd and presumably easy to purchase.
After 3 episodes i'll give it a 6 rating, and that's a stretch, but i suppose i will finish season one to see what happens to the kid.
This film is a Tarantino visual montage of a time in Hollywood which he obviously adores. But even though i enjoyed watching some of these well-acted vignettes, the lack of a real plot here made this one forgettable.
