Series, which everyone should see. Russion serials. Series about the war 1941-1945. The most interesting serials

The television series have become so firmly entrenched in the life of modern people that they began to divide into different genres. If, starting from the thirties of the twentieth century, the success of spectators and listeners on the radio had soap operas, now nobody is surprised with the sitcom, the procedural drama, the mini-series, the television movie and even the web series.

TV series genres

What are the series that everyone should see, in particular, a soap opera? For the first time this term was used by American journalists, when on the radio began to broadcast successively dramatic programs, interrupted by advertising soap. All these programs were aired during the day and they were mostly listened to by housewives. On television, soap operas appeared in 1946 and again in America. The most interesting serials of this type could last months and years, the record in this sense was beaten by actress Helen Wagner, who played in the soap opera "How the World Is Rotating", which appeared on the screen in 1954. She went to death (died in 2010 at the age of 91) played by Nancy Hughes in this series and rightfully got into the Guinness Book of Records for the longest performance of the role.

The next genre of serials is considered a sitcom (situational comedy). Its characteristic feature is brevity. On the air sitcoms take about thirty minutes, the characters, as a rule, do not change, the events unfold during the filming. In the past, comedies of this kind were filmed in studios in the presence of spectators, and therefore they are characterized by offscreen laughter. The plot of the series is loosely connected with each other. The series that every person should see is Mary Kay and Joni, Goldbergs. A vivid representative of the sitcom is the series "Friends" (1994 - 2004), several times nominated for Golden Globe and Emmy.

Among the Russian sitcoms, the television series My Fair Nanny, adapted for the American Nanny, became popular, and for the first time the STS television channel released independent sitcoms: Daddy's Daughters, Voronin, Cuisine, Traffic Light, and so on. The rating of serials in many respects depends on reviews of film critics and spectators.

A new round in the history of serials

The concept of "procedural drama" includes those TV series where each series is built independently, the plot is built around one episode, therefore, by skipping one series, you can view the other without prejudice to yourself. Such serials include such procedural dramas as "Colombo", "X-Files", "She wrote a murder", and this list can be continued indefinitely.

Web-series - a new kind of art, aimed at broadcasting the series through the Internet. For the most part, web series are amateurish, but already in 2015 director Arseny Gonchukov created his own independent Internet series, with a story and real actors, graduates of VGIK. Each series lasts no more than ten minutes, and the plot is a drama with elements of a horror film.

It is not surprising that a modern TV viewer can get confused in a huge selection of TV shows, so it is desirable to read reviews of viewers and film critics before viewing. However, there are TV shows that everyone should see.

The series on the political theme

In 2013, on the First Channel, four days after the premiere in the United States, they began to show the series on a political topic. The directors and producers of the film were David Fincher and Kevin Spacey. In the title role, the actor and director Kevin Spacey starred. Called the series - "House of Cards". From the very first minute, the protagonist of the picture, congressman from the Democratic Party Francis Andrerwood (Kevin Spacey), accidentally arriving at the dog, kills her so that she does not suffer, while expressing the idea that in life sometimes you have to get your hands dirty. In the evening, Francis will congratulate the newly-minted US president on victory, while enjoying the sweetness that he will get the post of Secretary of State. However, the president deceives the friend, the post leaves to another, and Underwood decides again to get his hands dirty, this time in a sophisticated way.

The series has been on the air for five seasons, it shows that the political routine in the film does not seem tedious and monotonous, on the contrary, the plot is twisted more enthralling than any detective, besides, the intensity of passions is such that the audience is sitting, not looking up from the "box" . Not the last role in this plays twice Oscar-winner Kevin Spacey, who has already played in the film "Suspects of a person" wolf in sheep's clothing. To match his wife Claire Underwood (Robin Wright).

The series demonstrates all the far from attractive background of American politics. Russian viewer "House of Cards" fell in love, and the first and second seasons were looked with interest. In the third season, the authors added another hero - the president of Russia. The American actor clearly overplayed it, snacking and sniffing his sleeve with vodka, while showing an animal temper. If in the second season Underwood became vice-president, in the fourth - president, then in the fifth season ... It is better to see once.

Sherlock

To the category of "series that everyone should see", no doubt, belongs to the project of Hartswood Films. The picture "Sherlock" or "Sherlock Holmes", as you might guess by name, is based on the famous work of Arthur Conan Doyle. The only feature - the action of the picture is happening nowadays. The authors of the project were British Mark Gettys and Stephen Moffat. In the role of Sherlock Holmes starred Benedict Cumberbatch - British actor theater, film and television, laureate of the Lawrence Olivier, nominee for the Oscar and Golden Globe. And the role of Dr. John Watson went to Martin Freeman, also British actor, laureate of the Emmy Award and nominee for the Golden Globe.

Many viewers ask a question about how many seasons in the series "Sherlock"? So far, the show has defeated four seasons. During the first three seasons, the project received awards and positive reviews. The authors showed Sherlock a genius with a deductive form of thinking, he adores riddles, puzzles, murders and other crimes. But, according to Conan Doyle's idea, Sherlock is unruffled, prickly, his surrounding corners stumble about his sharp angles. In a sense, he himself is a maniac, since he can not sleep and not eat during the day until he decides the crime. The London police respect him, and the whole of the UK adores him.

Dr. Watson is the best friend of Holmes, a very kind, retired physician who gently shades the main character and prevents him from doing crazy things. Mrs. Hudson (Una Stubbs) in the series is shown as a gay widow, discharging situations with typical British humor.

So, to specifically answer the question about how many seasons in the series "Sherlock", you need to know that there are only four seasons - three series in each and a duration of one and a half hours on average. Only in the fourth season there is a zero series, which is made under the antiquity and is a bonus for the New Year. You can skip it if you want.

"In all serious" - the series

In 2008, American television began to broadcast a series that will be included in the Guinness Book of Records as "The Most Rated Television Series." The starring Brian Cranston, who won the Emmy Award three years in a row as the best actor in the drama series, will receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. And the house where the main characters lived, will become a place of pilgrimage for the fans of the series. It's about the television drama "In All Grave".

This original TV series of the AMC channel, which first aroused bewilderment, became one of the rating projects of American television. He owns enthusiastic reviews of viewers and critics, the crazy cost of advertising time, the highest awards of television communities, but most importantly - the authors brought out a new anti-hero, like Tony Montana of "Scarface" and Vito Corleone from the band "The Godfather".

The plot of the series

In brief, the story is as follows: a fifty-year-old school chemistry teacher is forced to work on a car wash to support a family: a pregnant wife and a disabled son. Learning that he is mortally ill, Walter White rethinks his own life and starts all the hard. We must understand that "In all serious" - the series is not about the tragedy of a person who has fallen ill with cancer and not about drug trafficking - it's something more. About a brilliant man who faced a choice, like Rodion Raskolnikov: Am I a trembling creature or have I the right? And if he does not now step over himself, his life, then it turns out that his whole genius will perish, and it turns out that life has been spent in vain.

With each series, the drama is heating up, it's not for nothing that Anthony Hopkins wrote that the show is comparable to the works of Shakespeare in the heat of passion and drama. The protagonist, who lives his whole life according to the rules, steps over himself, but this is also a drama, since he can only realize himself by criminal means. The rating of serials of this type goes off scale, at Breaking Bad it is 10 out of 10.

The way the series is done can be called one word - impeccability. The work of writers, operators and actors is ideal, the authors have thought out every detail, each episode is completed and deceptively simple. And yet - this is a film about love.

"Game of Thrones"

The plot of the series "The Game of Thrones" is based on George Martin's novel "The Song of Ice and Fire". The release date of the series "Game of Thrones" - April 17, 2011. The action of the picture takes place in a fictional world, where every month is equated to several years of our years. The authors show several storylines and many characters at once. Then several families are fighting for the throne of the kingdom, then they show the journey of the princess, expelled from her homeland and in the countries of the East, seeking an allies for her return to her homeland and conquest of the Iron Throne. This is a fantasy with creatures such as dragons and undead, heroes can not be clearly described as positive or negative.

Fans of fantasy still at the stage of creating the project eagerly awaited the show. Therefore, the release date of the series "The Game of Thrones" was agreed in advance by the media and is scheduled for 2011. The series was shot six seasons, and each subsequent became more successful than the previous one. A lot of actors were involved in the film, but Peter Dinkleik, who played Tirian Lannister and won the Emmy and Golden Globe awards as the best supporting actor, won the most awards.

So far, seven seasons have been canceled, but the authors of the project David Benioff and Dan Weiss said that in 2017 they will continue the series with a season that will consist of thirteen episodes.

The most interesting serials

Especially I want to say a few words about the series of Kirill Serebryakov's Diary of the Murderer. The action takes place at the beginning of the twentieth century, during the period of the Red Terror, and at the beginning of the twenty-first century, when a journalist, Nikolai Voinov (Kirill Pirogov), caught the eye of a museum employee (actress Alexander Kulikov). He begins with terrible words: "I am a murderer. I killed five people. " To a young student Nikolai Voinov, fate presents a surprise, similar to a curse: he must kill five people and for this they give him life.

The film consists of two parts: modern and historical. The historical looks much more interesting and deeper, although they are the same in timekeeping. It is impossible not to mention the play of the actors Cyril Pirogov and Alexandra Kulikova, authentically included in the tragic image of the heroes, and the role of the one-eyed Chekist and Commissioner Rosa, though small, causes ambiguous feelings: disgust and pity. The film uses the wonderful song of Metropolitan Joseph of Rostov "The World's Sea."
