I watched the final episode. I do not advise you to start watching!Stretched for the second season! Everything is very bad, the script and actors are weak, and as usual for our series, stupid love lines to stretch the timing.
I really don't like that the psychologist's story has been completely changed. If at the beginning of the series they say that it is based on real events, then why do they change the entire story of the main character (psychologist), who plays a key role in this plot. Oh, yes, because to a married man who decided to take part in the investigation, for the sake of his own daughter, so that some maniac could not kill her, it is impossible to weave an unnecessary romantic line.
I would like to add that the psychologist was asked to participate in the investigation (therefore, it is unlikely that he was bullied in a real story, and not as we are shown the whole series.
What do we see following the results of the first series - we have a bunch of undisclosed police officers as characters. - an incomprehensible policewoman who, during the examination, decided to approach a vomiting psychologist for some reason. - the chief policeman who always wants a drink - no one needs to hide the face of Chikatilo, because from the first words it is clear that this is Nagiyev, as a result of the lack of intrigue and the infuriating location of the frame - at the end of the series, scenes in which people eat began to irritate, because they do not carry any semantic load, at most a beautiful "picture", but in series with such a theme, it definitely should not be in the first place.
Of the advantages, we can only mention that there is no advertising in this series, perhaps that's all.
As a person who just watched a documentary about Chikatilo in order to better understand the series, the series itself began to annoy me after 10 minutes of watching because of the discrepancy with the real story.
If you just want to watch the series, then you can, but understand that only the name of the maniac is plausible there
Until the last moment, they delayed showing Chikatilo's face, although it was immediately clear from the voice who it was) It was unexpected to find out that he was played by Nagiyev, let's see how he copes with this role
@zonned1: I recognized him by his voice from the very first second he spoke at the beginning of the episode, it's hard to confuse him with someone else.
It was shot perfectly. Vlaskin's performance can already be distinguished from the actors. He brought his character to life very successfully. The actor who played Chikatilo, as written above, was not difficult to recognize by voice. There is still interest in watching it.
@den_mcfly: I noticed the parallels too. However, this is not a plus for the series, because you involuntarily compare it and not in its favor. I thought about Nagiev that he was a miskast, but the real world pulls the whole series on itself
@vk887420: The first episode was pulled by Nagiyev's hat and the back of his head. The trick was triggered by the fact that before the pilot was released, it was not revealed who was playing Chikatilo. But the first appearance of Nagiyev's face with Zadov's grin immediately ruined everything.
@DemonaZZ: I wouldn't have to let go, they would prove it without recognition, if they let all the silent ones go, then everyone would be silent. Plus, he was just a consultant, and here the main character is actually.
@DemonaZZ: Bukhanovsky just pulled the blanket the most, he communicated with Slivko, but it was of zero use. And he compiled a general psychological portrait of Chikatilo, which many people approached (it is also worth noting his failed work on Budanov). But the investigators split the Chikatilo: Yandiev, Kostoev and Evseev
Well, this I don't want to jump to conclusions, but so far it looks like a typical cop show, where cops just talk to each other / quarrel / potentially fuck and run around against the background of a chick But I hope it just seemed that way to me and it will continue to be better.
In places, the pilot is noticeably sagging, in my opinion. Also, I still don't understand the emphasis on Chikatilo's appearance. If it was intriguing at the beginning, then in the middle, it frankly began to annoy. And for what? What would you exclaim - Nagiyev? ... stupidity. The picture itself is very beautiful, the frame / light is pleasing to the eye.
I liked it, at least 1 episode. I can't help but note that unlike the Method, inappropriate dissonant music and clip inserts are not inserted here (which is annoying). Everything is going smoothly, in order, slowly, we got acquainted with the characters, with the plot too. I will watch the 2nd episode.
@alyonapetrova88: Well, as for the Method, it's purely a matter of taste. For me, this series is one of the best Russian series, plus real stories are taken.
Imho, but Nagiyev's photo in the final screensaver is purely Careful, modern! No matter how well he played, either you can't hide his appearance and facial expressions, or the makeup artists didn't do a damn thing. The wig was given out and that's it
Hmm, but it's really working out very well so far! I did not expect Nagiyev in this role, but so far his image is just creepy. It was very unusual to look at the image of a murderer without showing his face, there was some kind of zest in it. I will definitely look further!
And I have more complaints about the visual. I smiled at how foreign cars of 2010 + year of manufacture passed in the 70s and other stuff constantly flashes in the frame, which at that time simply did not exist in the USSR (or even in the world)
I love the theme of maniacs, and Chikatilo is one of the most creepy for me. Very nice colors in the series, pleasing to the eye. The first episode caught on, I didn't want it to end The only thing I hope is that the series will not be merged and it will be so interesting until the end.
The series seems to be normal, but at the end... You won't understand: whether Nagiyev is grinning, or whether he has a stroke, the game is still the same
The first episode interested me. It was shot qualitatively and well, I like the way the actors play. In places, there is a feeling of tightness in the form of serving some household items, but I just like that. I will definitely continue to watch
This is not Nagiyev's role. It's obvious right away. He tries to twist his face in the manner of a Chikatilo, but it turns out Ensign Zadov. The first episode went in, but Nagiyev is a failure. IMHO
I read a lot about Sarik Andreasyan, everyone said with one voice it would be a failure. But for me, he is a very good pilot, let's see how events will develop further.
It's interesting, the series is about a maniac of the 80s, there is no way to enjoy the entourage - everyone hit Nagiev :) Oh, how he already "pulls" for 3 minutes for the entire series. Yyyy. And he's not even in the casting :) The topic is great, is the question delayed - do you remember how long before the real capture of the left-wing people they "caught" and joyfully calmed down every time? It's possible to stake out 3 seasons at once... Yes, someone suddenly saw as much as a "True detective" - well, dear seraphomaniacs of the nth level... Professional burnout? ;)
The pilot is not bad, I will look further. Nagieva, of course, immediately gives out a voice, an interesting choice of actor, not a typical role for him, I hope that it will pleasantly surprise. The atmosphere of the series is there, the musical accompaniment is good. The titles are high-quality at the beginning, I love when the titles attract attention.
A very cool pilot. I have been waiting for such an artistic serial story about Chikatilo for a long time. Neither the director Sarik Andreasyan, nor Dmitry Nagiyev in the title role, nor the cliche "we don't believe any psychologist there, what do they even understand about the work of the investigation." I wonder how the moment with the first factap of the investigation will be played out when the examination showed that it was not his DNA at the crime scene and how several other people were shot before Chikatilo.
A great start! What one screensaver is worth is very fascinating. The atmosphere is on the level. Everyone was scared of a terrible director who would screw everything up. Premature conclusions, well, such a thing. The only thing is, I can't get rid of Nagiyev, although I have to see a terrible maniac. I think that it is necessary to take unknown actors for such roles so that there are no links to other films. Although I am very sympathetic to Nagiyev in principle, but the choice in his favor is clearly past, well, he does not cause horror and fear, only positive emotions are associated with him. Which can completely ruin the whole impression of the series.
Yeees. I also disagree with the choice of the main actor. But we have what we have. The actors' performance for 3 minutes at most is very unnatural. There are a lot of "promaterial words" that were clearly not used at that time. The same remark when hijacking a trolleybus "A broken one was slipped, f***sy"
@00rainbow00: As Google Books statistics show, this word appeared for the first time in the literature of the late 70s of the twentieth century. After that, there was a surge in the use of the word "faggot" in literature, and, accordingly, colloquial speech.
Apparently, Yuz Aleshkovsky was the first in literature to use it in his Disguise (1978): "... we do not have a social base in Staroporokhov for alcoholism, paid fucking, in other words, prostitution, unemployment, rats do not devour children, as in the bankrupt city of New York, there is no crisis with oil, gas and firewood, but long-haired faggots walk around like Scandinavia here. Maybe nature began the transition of a woman into a man and back? ..."
However, the word itself was used earlier - the primary source is most likely Khrushchev in his famous statement about abstract artists: "Are you guys or fucking faggots, how can you write like that?"
I love detective stories, investigations, I watch mostly only foreign TV series, including Scandinavian investigation series from this genre, I have never watched Russian ones, since ours do not know how to shoot this. I ventured to watch the first episode, I will say that I am impressed, I hope they will reach the end. This is certainly not a Scandinavian murder investigation, but it's not a bad start. The fact that Nagiyev plays a maniac - I think we could have found a better option... but what is there is, we are waiting for the series...
It's generally interesting, but it's clear that there is a cult of serial killers in the USA, and we also want to promote this topic. Let's see what happens next?!
The first series is quite watchable. A huge plus for the atmosphere of the 80s and the props (like there were no shoals with clothes and household items). As it is, the actors don't seem to be completely overdoing it, and it's still difficult to judge. But from the actual (procedural) side, there are already oh so many jambs... But it's probably better to turn a blind eye to it.. Nagiyev as Chikatilo is the best thing so far. It would be possible to choose an actor who is similar and more typical for the role of a maniac.
Verdict - you can see what happens next. So far, Sarik Andreasyan is not particularly disappointing (maybe he started to improve slowly?).
It's a great start to the series, and it's intriguing. I'll definitely keep looking.
In a way, I am glad that the series decided to show everything as it was, that is, they did not bluff, censor, or simply not show both sexual acts (for example, a scene with a prostitute) and the bodies of the victims, taking the camera to the sky and only hinting that the body of the murdered man lies there. or what's going on. Although it's scary and painful to see, it's worth showing. Everyone should see and understand how sick, cruel and bloodthirsty he was.
At first, I was extremely skeptical about Nagiyev. Since Nagiyev has recently had roles where he plays Dmitry Nagiyev, the role in this series really caused doubts and distrust. It's still difficult to judge his acting in this series, but, for example, in the final scene, you don't even recognize him. If I hadn't known that Nagiyev was playing, I wouldn't have thought of him. Well, what can I deny, he doesn't look like Chikatilo himself, but more outwardly resembles D. Harvey from the movie "Sweet Bones" (I had such an association when watching).
It seems to be fine, but I hope it will get better. I recognized Nagiev's voice from the very first minute, it was even kind of stupid to show it only at the end. On the other hand, then there would be no effect that Chikatilo merged with the crowd. It's exciting to think that he pretended to be an "honest citizen" and no one would have thought what he was capable of.
If anyone understands, please explain it to me.: What's the problem with acting school? It seems that everyone has already learned how to work behind the scenes on the technical side, but acting is a great skill. It's like people are just being pulled out of the street. Didn't they study somewhere? Where is the skill? Where is the talent? Why are there so many incompetent people in front of the camera? The question is not specifically about this series, but in principle about modern Russian cinema.
Because the vast majority of claims for the role are based on calls, acquaintances and all this, and not for professional skills and qualities. If well-known media personalities in the country do not hesitate to push and give victories to their children in various contests on TV, etc., then why be surprised here when everyone has 500 friends and relatives who would be nice to give somewhere to play, and don't care that they don't know how to do it
Once in Russia, they tried to make a TV series without cliches, and all the participants' asses fell off. Here we have a young, misunderstood "expert" who is not trusted by the bad grandfathers in power, and a woman who believes and helps, well, everything is in the best traditions of cop wars and other shit. And no one will explain the work of the "expert", the viewer will have enough pretentious phrases, he is stupid. The actors are a complete failure. They're discussing the murder of a child in a tone that sounds like the price of potatoes. The series was pulled by the mysterious figure of the killer, but in the second episode it was fucked up. However, nothing new.
It was shot very well. the eye is happy. Let's see how things go from here.
I would like to note that recently there has been a noticeable increase in the quality of domestic TV series. which is good news. and this allows us to change our attitude towards our production and makes us stop spitting in its direction.
The pilot is normal, but the weekly episode is wildly annoying. It's high time for everyone to do Netflix, roll out the season right away, especially if the atmosphere in the series plays a significant role.
Well, when you subscribe to streaming and you'll make money every month, maybe it will be like Netflix) but in the meantime, you download from torrents or watch on free sites, then you'll get away with it anyway)
Nagiyev, with his pretentiousness and pretentiousness of a maniac, spoils the whole series and the whole story. I stopped watching after a couple of episodes, Nagiyev is incredibly annoying.
There was a very deliberate episode with the gypsy boy.. Would you really take that risk? This psychologist is being bullied out of hand, but in general, you can watch it without causing a sharp rejection.
It's a good start. Yes, maybe the plot is sagging somewhere. In general, I treat Russian cinema separately, without comparing it with American and others. And it's not even bad for Russian. I think they weren't trying to surprise people with Nagiyev at the end, but to show that Chikatilo was an ordinary person and walked among people. They talked to him and considered him a good person. And no one could guess that he was a maniac. I also don't think Nagiyev is a good fit for this role. But whoever was chosen was chosen. Let's see what happens next. And the fact that the series are released once a week. Many TV series are produced this way. So there's nothing to worry about. Both the screensaver and the rules look good. It's a little creepy in a good way. It's also "funny" how the women in the queue said that it was brought from the West to kill the future generation. As always, the West is to blame for everything.
Well, that... they try to scare me, but it turns out like a scene at a train station with a prostitute/tramp. I would like to ask Sarik - why are you driving sluggishly? A pathetic attempt to copy the elements of popular Western TV series about maniacs. The focus is on the children, the scene at the market, the shooting from behind, the fact that Chikatilo is hanging around all the time - everything is very strained.
There are many questions about the scenario - why is your policeman at the railway station a complete moron and explains to his moron colleague that he bought food at the buffet? Why do they watch Chikatilo take out the contents of the briefcase himself in the next scene? You have an orientation on him, you've been herding him all day, you know that the suspect who is wanted is capable of inflicting stab wounds with a knife. As a result, he was never shown in handcuffs. Well, our police are the most fearless and stupid of course.
Why do they show us two and a half minutes of how the depot guard cooks potatoes??? This scene has absolutely no semantic meaning and it can be cut out.
Why do you have Chikatilo the same moron? They have been looking for him for 3 years, they have an orientation for him, well, he's not a complete moron, as you portray him, to return to the crime scene where the whole area is in the police just like that, and even at the very moment when an investigative experiment is being conducted. And of course, the policeman tells the friend who gets under the orientation - they say, move from here, there's nothing to stare at. The strange guy who wandered into the forest belt at the scene of the crime did not bother him. They pulled it normally like that.
The actor who plays Vitvitsky is clearly overdoing it, his acting talents have remained at the level of Dimas from the Physical Education Department.
The picture, the props, even a couple of good actors in the supporting roles are there, but somehow everything else was not delivered. However, nothing else was expected from Andreasyan.
Nagiyev as Chikatilo?! Damn, I get it, but couldn't you have chosen a more suitable actor? Yes, I agree that the series does not pretend to be historically accurate, but at least the maniac could be made to look like a real character. I'll try to look further, but I don't think it's going to work.
I barely watched the first episode. It's all kind of unbelievable, stupid. I have only one question: why? Why do we need this Vitvitsky? the actor is clearly not playing his role well. Why are we being shown irrelevant things at all? Yes, it's a beautiful potato with tomatoes, but what's the point of this scene?? well, and some kind of Chikatilo is uncomplicated. I see Nagiyev, who pretentiously tries to play someone other than Nagiyev. I won't look any further.
I have only one question: how did the Soviet granny, pouring seeds into a bag at the beginning of the episode, get a black elastic band on her wrist? Such a cinematic monster :/ These rubber bands were invented in 2012, episode 1, 6:29
What makes you think about 2012? I was watching Desperate Housewives 2006 episode today, and there was this gum :) Of course, this does not negate the blunder in this particular series, but you don't have to throw words around with such a clever look. "But these rubber bands were invented then..."
@Natalie_wvaily: agree. So some people in the USSR brought different things from America, this often happened, and I don't really understand the fun of digging into the smallest details in TV series and movies. I personally didn't notice this gum at all)
I was really looking forward to the series. I just finished reading a book about chikatilo. Nagiyev spoils the whole picture. His attempts to make a chikatilo-like expression look ridiculous. Take other films where actors play real people. For example, about Freddie Mercury. It causes a feeling of "wow! How he does it." Habits and manners, that's for sure. It also evokes Spanish shame and "please stop." Some kind of antics. Especially when photos of Chikatilo and Nagiyev are shown in the credits, like, look how well done.... terribly And the series itself is generally worse than our new series from premiere and okko. Just believe in our cinema and here you have the ala NTV series again. Well, let's see what happens next.
The first episode is passable, but a lot of factors spoil the picture. The acting of many actors, not always appropriate lines... beautifully shot, the connection with real events only keeps the tension going...
Frankly speaking, it is very weak. Acting, plot development, picture, musical accompaniment. At first, I liked the technique of hiding the face and shooting from the back. But the voice ruined everything. What kind of maniac is Nagiyev?!? Seriously? Weak, very weak... oh yes, and a psychologist who resembles Shura. Ridiculous Ready for flying sneakers...
@Nusya1985: It's just that everyone is used to seeing him in a comical role. I also didn't imagine him in a serious role. But so far I was satisfied with the first episode.
Negative reviews have left their mark on viewing. And knowing that there would be another season 2 was generally frustrating. I don't even know if I'm going to keep watching. I also can't help but note that Nagiyev is a purely comedic actor for me, but I don't perceive him as someone scary or demanding sympathy.
But I liked it so far. It was very interesting how Nagiyev would look and how he would cope with the role of a maniac. Make-up artists have a big plus! I like the picture and the musical accompaniment. The screen saver too. I don't really like the "love line" yet, but there's probably nowhere without it.
I can't understand, has this disease really reached us? Americans really love making films about serial killers, but damn, who would even think of canonizing chikatilo? A fucking pedophile who couldn't die enough once, he needed to be quartered in general, and not just shot. What the hell is all this about? Aren't people disgusted by watching about a pedophile??? Horror. And it's a pity that Nagiyev agreed to play him and associate himself with this trash in the image of a man. Of course, this won't make me stop loving Dmitry, but... I don't understand him.
It doesn't seem to be badly shot, and the atmosphere is appropriate, but I don't see Nagiyev in the role of Chikatilo.. Especially when he starts to make a face.
After episode 1, I still can't make out my feelings. It seems that the atmosphere of that time is well displayed, the costumes, the visual range, the cast are not bad (so that many people don't talk about Nagiyev, he comes to me here. As Kaloev once did in his performance in Unforgiven), musical accompaniment, cinematography.. . Yes, all of this is individually good. But, together... How should I put it? Too much, maybe... It's like the atmosphere is absorbing the plot. Maybe I'm wrong, and in the future there will be a completely different aftertaste. Let's see, we'll see)
Everything was fine until Chikatilo's face was shown, and then... Nagiyev's antics make some kind of humorous surreal out of the series. After all, his ceiling is a physical education teacher. And who thought of hiring a young actor from the same "Physical education department" for the role of a psychologist?
Has the series been filmed for Americans? No Soviet man in Khrushchev ever walked in street shoes. Either in slippers or in socks.
Washing his hands in the kitchen before dinner is very rare, but it has happened when the faucet breaks or he is just too lazy to go to the bathroom. But to dine in the middle of the "hall," as the living room was called, is unrealistic too. We always had lunch in the kitchen, and ate in the hall only on holidays.
Overall, it's an interesting start. As a person who knows very little about Chikatilo, I cannot judge how plausible it all is. But I don't know how successful the decision was to take Nagiyev to this role, because there is one problem with him, he is a lifelong physical education teacher. Anyway, when you hear his voice, you immediately remember the character of Thomas and do what you want. Maybe this feeling will decrease over the course of the series, but for now it's hard to see Thomas. Well, naturally, this is only my perception, because somehow I have never seen him in other roles, especially in such serious ones.
I'm watching it after Fischer. How faded the titles and the overall atmosphere are compared to Fischer. I understand that it's probably not very good to compare two different series like this, but I can't get rid of it. The opening and ending credits in Chikatilo are very frustrating. This is a white font that stands out too much from the general foggy background. Why it couldn't be stylized a bit to fit the general atmosphere is unclear. There is a clear hack here.
Discussion: Season 1, Episode 1 Join the Discussion
137I would like to add that the psychologist was asked to participate in the investigation (therefore, it is unlikely that he was bullied in a real story, and not as we are shown the whole series.
What do we see following the results of the first series
- we have a bunch of undisclosed police officers as characters.

- the chief policeman who always wants a drink

If you just want to watch the series, then you can, but understand that only the name of the maniac is plausible there
By the way, the actor copes well with the contrast in the roles
I don't want to jump to conclusions, but so far it looks like a typical cop show, where cops just talk to each other / quarrel / potentially fuck and run around against the background of a chick
But I hope it just seemed that way to me and it will continue to be better.

It was very unusual to look at the image of a murderer without showing his face, there was some kind of zest in it. I will definitely look further!
The first episode caught on, I didn't want it to end
The only thing I hope is that the series will not be merged and it will be so interesting until the end.
From the actors you can distinguish Vlaskin-an atypical role for him
The topic is great, is the question delayed - do you remember how long before the real capture of the left-wing people they "caught" and joyfully calmed down every time? It's possible to stake out 3 seasons at once...
Yes, someone suddenly saw as much as a "True detective" - well, dear seraphomaniacs of the nth level... Professional burnout? ;)
Nagieva, of course, immediately gives out a voice, an interesting choice of actor, not a typical role for him, I hope that it will pleasantly surprise.
The atmosphere of the series is there, the musical accompaniment is good. The titles are high-quality at the beginning, I love when the titles attract attention.

The series was stretched very much (
beautifully shot, the connection with real events only keeps the tension going...
But still, from the first episode it's addictive, very interesting.
But it was shot very well, we are waiting for the second one.
At first, I liked the technique of hiding the face and shooting from the back. But the voice ruined everything. What kind of maniac is Nagiyev?!? Seriously? Weak, very weak...
oh yes, and a psychologist who resembles Shura. Ridiculous
Ready for flying sneakers...
I also can't help but note that Nagiyev is a purely comedic actor for me, but I don't perceive him as someone scary or demanding sympathy.
I like the picture and the musical accompaniment. The screen saver too. I don't really like the "love line" yet, but there's probably nowhere without it.
Washing his hands in the kitchen before dinner is very rare, but it has happened when the faucet breaks or he is just too lazy to go to the bathroom. But to dine in the middle of the "hall," as the living room was called, is unrealistic too. We always had lunch in the kitchen, and ate in the hall only on holidays.
I'm watching it after Fischer. How faded the titles and the overall atmosphere are compared to Fischer. I understand that it's probably not very good to compare two different series like this, but I can't get rid of it. The opening and ending credits in Chikatilo are very frustrating. This is a white font that stands out too much from the general foggy background. Why it couldn't be stylized a bit to fit the general atmosphere is unclear. There is a clear hack here.
