Matroesjka's - Série 2

The first season of Matrioshki actually had a double collective hero. It was a group of girls from the post-Soviet space who were lured to Belgium under false pretenses and ended up in a strip bar. The second collective hero was the employees of this establishment, who stood on the other side of the imaginary barricade. The series evenly divided its attention among the individual characters, and the absence of a main character surprisingly did not bother anyone. The second series of Matrioshki is more ambitious, and the viewers will venture into Southeast Asia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Transnistria, and there are also many more characters and players. Characters appear and disappear, and the screenwriting is somewhat fragmented. Just as the viewer begins to develop a relationship with a character, they die or disappear, so the impressions are a bit mixed - partly because the screenwriter sacrificed potentially more interesting characters, from whom I would expect a much more significant development. However, the development of the characters in the gang is interesting, as they acquire a more tragicomic dimension as their business and actions gradually spiral out of control. Overall impression: 70%. (2014.08.16)
