The quality of Russian TV series is growing rapidly every year. The time of one-day serials went to the past, now the tone is asked for the cutting services, each of which tries to stand out against the background of competitors. And if your product is really steep, then a great chance that you can notice even in the West. A vivid example is the Russian epidemic series, which conquered Netflix.
We tell about the 7 best Russian TV series of 2020.
"EPIDEMIC"
You do not need to be a genius to understand what this Russian series is about. In the 2020s, the history of disease and pandemic a priori would be in demand, but here in addition to the urgent topic there is a nontrivial plot, high-quality shooting and a great acting game.
The World Stregnation Giant Netflix paid 1.5 million dollars for the "epidemic", and on the ratings he entered the top 10 serials of the year. Moreover, in the IMDB rating of the "epidemic" now occupies the 72nd line in the top 100 among all world serials. Could the domestic serial industry dream of this one more three or four years ago? Unlikely.
"Chiki"
The story of provincial prostitutes who decide to radically change their lives, conquered the hearts of millions. It is interesting, ridiculous and relevant. And the main instagram-humorists of Russia Anton Lapenko and Irina Gorbacheva clearly demonstrated that they were not the place of stars, but incredibly talented actors.
Ratings "Chik" were just colossal, and Fidbek is the most positive. If you have not watched it yet? New Year holidays - perfect time.
"DYATLOV PASS"
About the mysterious expedition of Igor Dyatlov starred quite a few films: both artistic and documentary. It would seem the story that is already unlikely to intrigue. But no - scenarios and directed by "Pass Dyatlov" managed to look at the famous plot at a different angle.
Minimum cranberries, maximum atmosphere. Separately, it is worth allocating a shrinking manner - a kind of Soviet Noir without unnecessary pathos and templates. The series holds in voltage from the first to the last series.
"CALL CENTRE"
Another project from TNT, who surprised many. "Call Center" is a kind of, Russian version of the legendary series "Black Mirror". But what is the coolest - the creators did not become a banal copyampist, but invented their unique history.
Call Center - thriller with elements of the strongest drama. He keeps in voltage and immerses you inside the history of 5D cinemas. It is no coincidence that in 2019 the scenario of this series received the prize of the Festival of TV series "Pilot". This is really original content.
"Inside Lapenko"
Anton Lapenko is an orchestra man. During the year, this messenger genius conquered first instagram, and then YouTube. Lapenko himself plays more than a dozen, absolutely unlike each other characters. Each of them is originally and beautiful in its own way. Starting from a timid and touching engineer, ending with awesome and ever drunk catamaran.
"Inside Lapenko" is the perfect symbiosis of the acting talent of Anton himself and the resident "Comedy Club" Alexey Smirnova (Smirnyaga).
"Whirlpool"
"WHIGHT" is one of the first projects of the Cinema Stregnation Service. Darking soul story about the cruel maniac who kills teenagers. If the "Call Center" is a "black mirror", then "whirlpool" - clean water "This Detective".
Coldly, terribly, gloomy and the most atmospheric. Separately, I would like to note the work of the operator of Vladimir Bashta, who managed to convey the Suspantly as realistic as possible.
"PEACE! FRIENDSHIP! GUM!"
Culking criminal comedy about those who grew up in nineties with Yura Borisov in the lead role. The story of growing several generations, which turned out to be a turning point of history. The creators of the series managed to find the perfect balance between the tragic events of those years and cheerful tonality, and somewhere even naivety.
The series looks as easy as easy as possible, despite the rather long timing series - about 50 minutes.
