"Stumbled upon it by accident and watched it in a few days. Only one season, but in the heart. The series tells about life behind the scenes. The series about important social problems, packaged in a colorful comedy wrapper with great actors. After watching it, you want to create, to love, to inspire", — RozaDitmar.

"One of the best series I've ever seen. I won't forgive them for closing it down because it would be interesting to dive back into this atmosphere for a second season. The most gorgeous dialog, so many important topics were raised. It's a shame, by the way, that the proper popularity of the series has not and was not", — scouse_avie.
