"Fleabag" in Russian: the trailer of the dramedy "Ira" with Ingrid Olerinskaya has appeared
Okko presented the trailer of new drama "Ira", the main role in which was played by Ingrid Olerinskaya from "Inadequate people".
She plays a 30-year-old MFC worker Ira, who hates her job, meets a nerdy writer Sergei and can't make sense of her own life. After another fight with her boyfriend, the girl spends the night with a colleague Felix, and soon discovers that she is pregnant. But from whom? And is she ready to become a mother?
The project is positioned as "our answer to "Fleabag" by Phoebe Waller-Bridge": throughout the ten episodes Ira will break the fourth wall and share with the audience his witty reflections on everything that surrounds her.
The director and author of the script of the series was Alim Beschokov ("Non-personal life"). The premiere of the first two episodes will be held on September 25.
The description of the series with the trailer suggests that the scriptwriters did not delve into the essence of the Trash and did not analyze the series, sit down, stake.
This is one of the main problems of Russian projects in many fields of activity, they are always trying to answer something to someone, although they were not asked about anything.
Why initially put yourself in the obviously losing role of imitators?
After all, with this approach, even a good series will be perceived as a weaker version of the original, and not just as a good series.
Well, inspired by the idea, it's completely normal and even wonderful, why can't you just rethink and show your vision by throwing a couple of references / Easter eggs, paying homage to the original?
All these "answers" are already like a stigma and an indicator that the project initially has nothing else to hook on and is trying to at least attract attention in this way.
While I was reading your comment, I realized that watching the trailer, I was comparing it with Trash all the time and as a result, I had a double impression.
True, according to the description, the resemblance to Trash is purely in the comments for viewers, but I'll take a look anyway.
A lot of great TV shows have been released in recent years that haven't been answered.;
