Do you like Russian serials about the police

Many TV viewers prefer serials. Especially they like Russian serials about the police. And this is not surprising, because these films show courageous and strong people who struggle with evil every day. Such series are always popular.

We'll talk about them a little bit more in detail.

Background

Let's start with the fact that such films enjoyed the attention of viewers back in Soviet times. It was then that the film works on the detectives of Julian Semenov were shot, whose heroes - courageous and brave Soviet militiamen - waged a merciless struggle against the elements of the underworld.

The fact is that such Russian series about the police (after the war there were many) caused the audience a genuine interest in the fate of the characters.

In this regard, we can recall the famous series, consisting of 5 series, "The meeting place can not be changed", which aroused great interest on the part of Soviet TV viewers (the film was shown on the day of the police as a serial). In fact, all the films following him repeated the same storyline: a detachment of militia who fights against a gang of robbers or murderers, clashes between the champions of the law and criminals, shadowing, chasing, shooting, and dramatic collisions.

All this was very popular with ordinary Soviet people who wanted to see not only the aging leaders on the television screens talking about milk and the number of root crops, but also people whose lives are fraught with everyday risk.

Thus, the Russian TV series about the police fell in love with Soviet viewers since the 60s of the last century. However, a big role in this played one well-known series, whose name became a household name ...

Those very "experts" who are always ready to go into battle

Of course, speaking of the most famous series of Soviet times, we mean a series about police experts who unraveled not one criminal action. At first the films appeared in black and white format, then they were already filmed on color film. In the series, in addition to the three main characters - investigator, operative and female expert - a lot of famous actors were shot. Plots were written by famous playwrights, many series caused a lively public response. So, for example, after a series about forging pictures of famous artists and smuggling them abroad, Soviet legislation in this area was toughened.

The series ceased to exist after the collapse of the USSR. Already in the 2000s, the filmmakers tried to film several new series, but they could not pay themselves back financially.

Modern movies

However, in the 1990s the country needed its heroes, not bandits from the big road, which in those turbulent times there were many, namely, the heroes-militiamen.

And so the series appeared, its creators dedicated broken lanterns and streets, on which these lamps had to stand.

Russian TV series about the police acquired a completely new context. Now the heroes of these series were not ideal people, they lived on a beggarly salary, experienced all that happened with the country, but did not lose honor and courage.

The show immediately fell in love with the viewer, songs from it became hits, and the creators were able not only to recoup their project with interest, but also to mount several hundred series.

Thus, Russian serials about the police began to appear on the screens more and more often. To us we can refer the famous "Mentes", "Sniff", "Trail" and so on. And let some of them were shot by Western remakes, the interest to them is still quite large.

Female TV series

Russian films-series about the police enriched in the early 2000's a new genre, which can be attributed to the female TV series. The fact is that the main character of this series was a woman - a real Amazon, who led a ruthless struggle against the underworld. It was a kind of innovation of the last decades, even in the Soviet series, the heroes were men, and not fragile ladies.

However, this plot move was very useful. The audience liked the films. Especially popular was the main character of the painting "Secrets of the investigation" - Maria Shevtsova, who from the series in the series investigated the bloody and complex crimes.

The practice of television shows that Russian serials about the police continue to be popular (2016 brought a number of new and interesting works, for example, a series about the gang of a black cat, which premiered at the "First Channel").
