It's such a cool series, sometimes I laugh out loud. But for almost all 40 minutes I sit with the expression "What?!" on the face

Yeah, it's accurate, of course, but you don't know about some points here, whether to laugh out loud, or turn off this nonsense)

A series of rare directions, and this is remarkable. But it still causes more perplexity than laughter.

This is the series for which you just need to learn to understand English.
Most of the jokes cannot be translated or adapted without compromising humor. Plus, all kinds of inscriptions and Easter eggs bring incredible pleasure.

An outspoken, bantering and highly talented parody that ridicules both the characteristic patterns of police procedural television dramas and the cliches and weaknesses common to mediocre series of any genre. Right, snide, witty, sometimes indecent.

The creators, the performers of the main roles, and the guest actors had a good time and clearly enjoyed themselves. They laughed at the fashionable scenario moves with filming in the toilet or in the autopsy room, at empty but pretentious conversations, at cheap director's chips, like long thoughtful glances or frozen plans in spectacular angles. The hackneyed cliches are shown so correctly that after watching it it was difficult to perceive without a smile some scenes from quite decent detective series.

It was shot and mounted without any fuss, there is intrigue in the plot, the picture is simple but saturated, many quickly flashing inscriptions deserve to be read "on pause". They play as they should, cardboard characters, artificial dialogues and deliberate emotions worked out perfectly.

However, despite the witty, subtle and even elegant jokes that occur, most of the humor is quite primitive and not particularly refined, and many long-drawn jokes below the belt were perceived as unnatural and superfluous, like a deliberately long and strained loud neighing. I don't regret at all that there are only three seasons, I would hardly watch the sequel.

Language. They talk a lot, sometimes quite quickly, I didn't notice terrible accents, but there are a lot of jokes on the wordplay. It's not easy without subtitles.
