"Everywhere chetchet rasforlisila series, decided to look too. At that time, of course, did not live, but how cool the atmosphere. Musical accompaniment in general fire. This is definitely not to romanticize, but it looks very beautiful. I like the actors, they convey emotions well ," - Lia15.

"There is a very powerful immersion when watching. So filmed that you believe everything that is happening, as if I lived in the 80s (although I was born in the early 90s only). Aigel "Pyjala" - in the heart", — loremipsum.

This becomes the beginning of a dueling club called Black Spring, where they have their own laws.

"Such an unreal impression on me recently made only the Separation, and now Black Spring. Turned on the series, expecting nothing, and got something special. I am one of those who Kalyuzhny will praise, because this role is his and he is great in it. And in general, the entire male cast, I will not stop repeating, delight! Koshman, Vorobiev, Gilev, Yatsenko, before that did not really like Kologrivyy, but here fire. Such an unexpected and rather ridiculous plot twist, and such an incredibly dramatic story came out of it, with drama in everyone and everything", — de_javu.

"I hardly watch projects of domestic production, did not know any of the actors involved in Spring, and started with outright skepticism - the more unexpected and sincere my delight. The picture, the sounds, the plot, the depth of elaboration - all of it is admirable. But what strikes me most of all is the power of empathy that the creators of the project managed to find in me. Indifference and sympathy caused even frankly negative characters - so volumetrically and vividly their images were formed so short appearances on the screen", — Niki.

"Really enjoyed the series. Lovely actors, very vivid and memorable characters that you want to experience despite their silliness. Still hope for the second and season and sincerely believe that it will not be sapped", — vitalinamalikova.

"One of the few Russian-language series that is really interesting and exciting to watch. There are, of course, a couple of unclear moments. But in general everything is gorgeous: the play of actors, sound processing, camerawork, color scheme, the whole post-Soviet entourage. It's good!" — Elvira1331.

"I would like to note the camerawork. I don't remember or didn't pay attention to this aspect in the first two seasons. But in the third season it's really good. Some angles, some compositions worked very well. It was a pleasure to watch", — merlott.

Then Valerka, with the help of counselor Igor, whose girlfriend became a vampire, decides to rid the camp of the uncleanness.

"Good good series, which you want to watch at a sitting. Finally, children play children, and at the same time play as if they were professional actors. The secondary characters are also well written, but there are too many clichés. I want something adequate, not the USSR, vodka, our world. The plot is not trivial, and neither are the antagonists. It is interesting to watch the plot, but in some places they start to "tedium", dragging out the timing. This is clearly a new level of Russian series, which can be recommended to everyone as an indicator of the growth of Russian cinematography", — WinniePooh.

"I enjoyed it. I'd like to add to all of the above - it's great that we have something to discuss. It's good that they've learned how to shoot it in a way that evokes all these different emotions. And the rest will come, the main thing is the emergence of the TV show industry itself. Special thanks for the soundtrack with GO, Bowie, etc. It was awesome!" — LonelyDarkstar.

"The series is a pleasant surprise! I didn't think ours could make such a cute little horror. A bit like "Stranger Things", especially with the music. The theme with vampires is a bit hackneyed, but the plot is addictive", —  2garina.

"Very biased towards the series, but I'm happy to watch the new series. Nice picture, soundtracks are selected perfectly, although most of the songs are not my taste, in the series they look organically", — LoveToBones.

"Overall a cool series 👍 gradually reveal each character, showing that anyone could have a motive. Ridiculous child sex and obsessing over it is normal for teens. It's not often they dare to show it, that's why there are so many different reactions", — KACHORRA.

"Interesting faces, new ones. Of the familiar ones, great actors playing adults. The plot is reminiscent of Elite, yes, but Elite has descended into such a slag that I'm trying to forget about this series like a bad dream.)) If Cicadas is not stretched for a bunch of seasons, it may turn out to be a good story", — juliawishes.

"Started watching, being very biased towards the series, but my god, I fell in love 💔 No matter how dumb the main characters act, there are no bad ones here. The series is naive and there are probably tons of bloopers that I just don't want to notice through rose colored glasses. Despite all the drama it's so kind and warm. Four seasons flew by too fast", — akimzaychenko.
