The situation in the cinematic world is constantly changing - until recently, the series were in a deep underground, and now they are at the pinnacle of success. Streaming services continue to gain popularity and are almost ready to challenge cinemas. The quality of serials is also improving, and today many of them simply need to be reviewed in order to note curious details for themselves, which the eye clings to far from immediately.
It's no secret that earlier multi-part tapes were often distinguished by their simplicity. The viewer could enjoy the spectacle and safely forget about the picture after a few days. Today, screenwriters are much more meticulous in their approach to the plot - they put in the story a lot of "Easter eggs" and inconspicuous details that give the film a special charm.
The Crazies
Creator: Matthew Weiner
Genre: Drama
Year of issue: 2007
The life of an anti-hero on screen is far from always easy. Some are forced to kill - others achieve their goals by more sophisticated methods.

Since the action of the picture takes place in the "sixties" years twentieth centuryhistorical accuracy plays a huge role. The film crew did a very good job in this direction and thoroughly reproduced the bygone era. Many details are easy to miss at first, so the film is recommended for re-watching.

I agree with everyone except Sherlock
Thank you for your feedback. Of course, Sherlock is a very controversial series. But there's the Cumberbatch factor, there's an audience unfamiliar with previous readings of the story, let alone the book. In many ways, this is why Sherlock has a place to be, as a phenomenon - he found his audience.
American series are the best
I agree that European and South American films are often incomprehensible to the domestic audience. There is no need to talk about Russian serials at all.
