![]() ![]() Brutal prison cops who beat up their wives and throw them in with the criminals, innocent American caught in a corrupt system of Russian underground scams, deputies making illegal money on the side, intrigues, honest detectives,layers and layers of secrets brewing inside the jail mixed with occasional humor, and even the priest trying to protect people's souls, make these series very interesting. from the ones you would expect it the least- the criminals. The theme of forgiveness runs a lot throughout the story, and, mostly. The stories are consistently interesting and keep the viewer on the edge. Though the script is not of the award winning material, the dialogues get very philosophical at times, hinting at the life of post Soviet Russia in general. The gray, sad reality of the people who live or work in a Russian jail is portrayed in these TV series. In my opinion, lack of any effects makes this show work. It does not have any glamorous special effects by the standards of the American Television. I got sucked into this show almost immediately.
