"What a great series) Character development, kind, raises different themes about life (and all ages), death, analyzing and understanding yourself, friendship and mutual support. It is also very beautiful that showed a benevolent attitude to loved ones, without toxicity, with conversations, what's wrong, talking through and finding common ground and a way out of the situation. Easy, light, pleasant, cozy, " Severes.

"Sweet, easy, kind, good natured, naive in a good way, with a dose of magic. From time to time something like this is very necessary to lift my mood, especially when life lacks this very naivety and some light positivity. It was nice to see the beautiful and charming Gina after "Jane the Virgin" (I love this series!), she suits this role very well" - regina_glesser.

"I was relaxing while watching this series. Just what you need after a hard day's work to relax. There was something to laugh at and tear up," - desdemona.

"The series is straight up wonderful. Starting as a story about fitness, in fact they give a multi-layered portrait of Russia behind the big cities (and there is such a thing in them too, I won't make it up here). One where a lot of people who dream of becoming pilots don't become them. One where strength is still the only thing that matters. One where the label never comes off. And one where no matter how hard you try, you're still where you were. The portrait is sad but recognizable," - Bullseye0901.

"Bravo to the team, the actors and the creator as a whole. Truly, blackly, truly. Still, how important it is to pick the right cast - absolutely everyone is in their place, everyone is believable. I avoided watching it for a long time and now I didn't regret a second," - Sameen.

"Eduard Oganesyan [the creator of the show - note] huge respect, he just took and raised the Russian series to a new level, in some places it was so cool that it was not even believed. On the one hand amazing originality, on the other hand - a fun and respectful quoting of favorite Western series," - Midge.

A perfect combination of good script, cast and acting. I haven't had such a relaxing time watching it for a long time" - makakischna.

"Loved watching it. Too bad it's a long wait, but will look forward to it. Originally thought that such a simple plot would only have 1 season. So decided to watch it, thinking that there will be a mini-series. But in the end, that's how it turned out. Both surprising and happy," - DianaDS.

"There is a lot of drama, something happens in every episode, but in such series as on Netflix, where the whole season is released at once, you have to somehow maintain the interest of the viewer. This is not a series about logic, and here everything is quite predictable, but it is cozy and simple, for this I love it 😌 Well and these landscapes 💔"- gellynova.
