First of all the show is +18. Secondly it is multifaceted and probably won't be as enjoyable for people outside the former USSR. Nevertheless if you like high quality crime drama movies such as Godfather, Scarface, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels etc, this will be a show for you. The best part about the show is that it was intended to be as close to real life USSR of 1989 as possible which creates nostalgia for people that lived in those troubled times. Also, it contains many opposing characters that help you chose sides and has I would say at least 6 main characters with their own storyline, opinion, role and place inside the story. In my opinion these TV series are about the reappearance of capitalism in Russia but also the fun and the pain people endured during those times.
