The series "Gentlemen-comrades": reviews, discussion

This domestic series combined the genres of history, crime and detective. The action takes place in the first decade of the last century, remembered for revolutions, insurrections, change of government. In a word, during the changes. The relatively new series "Gentlemen-comrades" tells about this and about many other things. How many episodes in this story? Who played the leading roles? What did audience reviews and criticism say? We will try to answer these questions.

Turning to history

Quite rightly to say that the center of the film are the events that took place in reality. The series, which is detective, is dedicated to combating banditry, who walked in post-revolutionary times. The reality of the events is emphasized by the fact of authentic authenticity, which became the main core on which the series "Gentlemen-comrades" relies. Reviews of the audience have yet to be analyzed, but for now it is worth noting the authors' desire to reproduce as much as possible the events of 1918-1920.

A bit of prehistory

Modern cinematography refers to the past century with relative frequency: it grabs a certain period of time, studies, is determined with key characters and events, and then devotes a whole picture to all this. The first channel often orders small projects. And it is already becoming strange not to observe in the grid of its broadcasting such historical series as, for example, "Gentlemen-comrades."

The content of the series includes a synopsis from which the narrative begins. And almost immediately, according to the viewers, the first impression is born: definitely, this is an exciting project that should not be ignored.

Difficult time for the country

Even if someone forgets historical events, this series will remind them. In 1918, the capital was reigned between the authorities, a general amnesty was held, which, in turn, contributed to the increase in the number of crimes committed. They had a different character - from petty hooliganism to grievous deeds. Entire areas of cities, employees of the justice system, officials became victims of armed bandit groups.

Russian TV series "Gentlemen-comrades" pays special attention to the tsar's search. About the existence of this unit, few people remember, but shortly before the events taking place on the plot, it was liquidated. And given that the criminal investigation of Moscow could not cope with a large flow of crime, it was decided that the best ex-employees of the investigation would be connected to it. These are the experienced investigator-nobleman Nikolai and retired sailor-Bolshevik Peter. They will not only learn how to work together, but also to extinguish mutual hatred that has arisen because of class divergence.

Feature of the series was to attract not only fictional characters, but also the embodiment of really existing personalities. So, in the film appear Lenin himself, the hijacker Jacob Koshelkov, the princes Dadiani and Meshchersky.

Bet on success

The premiere was held on February 16, 2015. A successful air start was supported by the first reviews of the audience, who warmly accepted the pilot episodes of the series "Gentlemen-comrades". How many episodes did they expect? The show was closed on February 26 of the same year. In total, "Lord Comrades" includes eight episodes, each of which is divided into two parts.

The series had every chance to turn into a detective-criminal story. Spectators in this case would expect a series of crimes and their investigations, which would make the film a largely stamped product. To avoid similar authors, a love line was introduced. Rather, it is imbued with almost the whole series "Gentlemen-comrades." Reviews of the audience, of course, could not leave this fact without attention, but the love story seemed to them fake.

To understand the reasons for such a categorical opinion, it is worth looking at the plot. Former baltiets Peter is fascinated by the beauty of his partner's sister Anna. She is an educated intelligent girl who is financially wealthy and constantly feels the strong shoulder of her brother Nikolai. What attracted her to Peter? The light feeling of an aristocrat to a man who has nothing for his soul, devoid of charisma and male rod, is difficult to explain.

Main advantages and disadvantages

After the end of the series, it's time to take stock. What was especially memorable? Where did the authors make unforgivable mistakes? What captivated the audience of the series "Lord Comrades"?

Reviews of those who did not miss a single series, in their majority give the film top scores and reward with commendable epithets. The initial episodes introduce a slight boredom into a smooth narrative, but further the plot quickly gains momentum. Inaccuracies, which often occur in the production of historical paintings, turned out to be so small and insignificant that on the whole this did not in the least worsen the overall impression.

Russian TV series "Gentlemen-comrades" allowed once again to demonstrate and appreciate the talent of many actors, whose game was on top. Among these is Yulia Galkina. During her career, the actress starred in several well-known projects, but her Maria Savelieva, nicknamed Murka, turned out to be especially bright.

Main screen faces

The picture is rich in various characters. In the story there are high officials in the person of chiefs, their deputies, ordinary employees of the criminal investigation department, as well as many secondary heroes. All of them were harmoniously united by "Lord Comrades". Actors who perform key roles are represented by a troika of artists who have already won the audience's acclaim.

The image of the leading investigator was given to Alexander Domogarov. Domestic cinema can boast a number of successful films with his participation. He is not only a star of theater and cinema, but also a national artist and amateur-chansonnier, as his most devoted fans know.

With the graduation in 1984 of the Schepkinsky school, the actor slowly but surely conquers screens, not forgetting the theatrical stage. Popularity brought the adventure film "Midshipmen-3". In more modern times, Domogarov was remembered for the "Countess de Monsoro", "Bandit Petersburg", "March of the Turkish". The actor is known not only in Russia. The historical film of 1999 by Polish director Jerzy Hoffmann "Fire and Sword" was the first picture of the world scale, in which Domogarov played.

"Gentlemen Comrades" is a picture in which Elizaveta Nilova, who acted as the sister of the main character Anna, took part. Nilova, a native of Leningrad, is primarily known for being the daughter of Alexei Nilov, a friend of the "Streets of Broken Lights." Elizabeth graduated from the St. Petersburg Academy, currently plays in the Komissarzhevskaya Theater, and for shooting in the paintings often goes to Moscow. Among the known works of the girl are films "18-14", "Retribution", "Mayakovsky". In 2014, she was approved for the main role in the project "Gentlemen-comrades."

Actors of the series are represented by Vyacheslav Krikunov, who became the screen partner of Elizabeth. Vyacheslav was born in 1983 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. In 2008, he moved to Moscow. Got roles in the films "The Edge" and "The Captive". Historical and military subjects are the most frequent direction in which an actor works. He also starred in the paintings "Sacked" and "Another's War."

Dreams of a sequel

The completion of the series was marked by a series of audience comments, reviews. In its majority, the picture was positively evaluated, and this led to one thought: will the continuation of the Lord Comrades? 2 season if it is in the plans of the channel management, then the official announcement of its launch has not yet been received. In the meantime, viewers, who liked the film, are speculating about what might be in the long-awaited sequel. Will the main characters reveal new crimes? Will Peter and Anna remain together? After all, the heroine was building serious plans for the future!

The "exhausted" Domogarov

One of the leading Russian actors is constantly in the spotlight. In the view of the audience, Domogarov keeps his whole series "Gentlemen-comrades" with his play. Critics' comments, however, suggest the opposite. Removing in a huge number of "passing" roles, the actor simply was exhausted. This is evidenced by apparent fatigue in individual scenes. The role of a serious man who performs important state tasks seems ridiculous, despite all the charisma and "visibility" that Domogarov managed to earn in all his creative activity. It seems that the old roles are now remembered as the most successful.

A few lines about the painful

"Gentlemen-comrades" with particular detail tells about the conduct of investigations, which is often reflected in the conversations of the protagonists of Nicholas and Peter. In this view, the audience saw additional interest. The creators managed to convey the atmosphere of the last century, not forgetting the little things: appearance, actions, conversations. Keep an audience's attention allows an unbiased story and fast dynamics, which ultimately leads to obvious success. During the paintings shown in 2015, one of the leading places is rightly occupied by "Gentlemen-Comrades". 2 season as its logical and quite possible continuation remains the main desire of those who became a fan of the picture.
