Russia could not always boast of an abundance of its own television series, we all remember the invasion of Brazilian and Mexican masterpieces, when the whole family gathered in front of the TV screen and empathized with the heroes, and discussions of yesterday's series took place wherever possible. Things are different today.
More and more new films are released, but the quality of most of them leaves much to be desired - sometimes it even seems that the series was shot in one day, in a hurry. But not everything is so sad, good things are filmed here too. Today we recommend that you watch six pretty good television series that are definitely worthy of attention. So, let's begin.
Action-packed crime series
All fans of this genre will definitely like Sword. Year of release 2009. At the moment the film has two seasons, but those who watched them are eagerly awaiting the release of the third. The plot is tied to a former intelligence officer of the Airborne Forces, who, after an unfair dismissal, gathers a team of like-minded people and begins a fight against lawlessness, punishing criminals who managed to escape punishment. The verdict for all is death. Events are constantly evolving here, this film cannot be called boring, and the plot is not thoughtful or stupid. They did a really good job on it. The next series in this genre, but with a dramatic bias, is called "The Zone". It was released in 2006. The series reveals the whole truth about the prison, sometimes shocking. It has its own monstrous orders, hierarchy and crimes. Real prisoners acted as consultants during the filming, and this movie turned out to be very realistic and truthful. Definitely worth a look!
Melodrama
"The Master and Margarita" is a high-quality adaptation of Bulgakov's novel of the same name. It was released on television in 2005. The mysterious and interesting story will captivate people of all ages and will not leave indifferent even the most sophisticated viewer.

Comedy series
"Matchmakers" is a good, interesting and vital series, where there is no stupid hackneyed humor, and the main characters are ordinary people, each viewer will see himself or his neighbor in them. A very light and positive film! To date, it has six seasons and a total of 67 episodes. The series "Kitchen", in our opinion, is also worthy of attention. Almost the entire storyline passes through the restaurant, with the employees of which funny situations constantly occur. There is an interesting plot, pretty good humor and Dmitry Nagiyev in the role of himself - he is the owner of the restaurant. (2012) "Kitchen" was the most expensive Russian television series, the cost of one episode was about 200 thousand dollars.
