Thread: What Russian TV series do you follow (or followed?)

Yeah, but each episode feels artificial, it's not natural, I don't believe in these bleedings, pains and livers to be real. It's some weird black comedy. If you add backgound laughter to it the picture would be complete.

House is a drug addicted maniac, his helpers are idiots, and no hospital on earth would tolerate him longer than half an hour. More than that - no hospital on earth would see this number of weird diseases and illnesses in its entire history, but this one appears to have a new patient each day.

I don't belive in it (c) Stanislavsky.

A drug addicted maniac who can solve really difficult and complicated cases when other doctors just give up would really be tolerated. And patients from other hospitals where no one ever saw something like their symptom set would be transferred to the hospital with the maniac. =)

I thought your point was the serial had no true medical background... By the way, what do you think about that?

Yeah, because the producers want it to be this way. Of course, if the public eats that and demands more -- why not?

Such serials is a chewing gum for your brain generally. I have no medical education and I cannot judge just how professional the characters are, but this is not why people watch it. They watch them for the same reason they watch horror movies. The pain of other people is fascinating to watch, isn't it? Haven't you noticed that nearly all episodes have the same plot? A difficult patient comes, they ponder upon the symptoms for about 30 minutes nearly killing the patient in the process, then House gets struck with an idea and he saves yet anoter victim of the plot. I watched 3-4 episodes and I yawned through all of them because I knew right from the beginning what would happen next. The producers should have maintained deaths/saves ratio at about 50/50. This a) would make the whole thing a bit more realistic and b) people would watch it anyway because they like to watch at someone else's tragedy.
Well, my opinion is that there's much more sense in horror movies, in soap operas even than in House M.D.

Ugh... Is that's why people watch House in your opinion?

Personally I was not interested all that much in the medical aspect of the show. It was just a background. I liked watching House bickering with Wilson and terrorising his team and/or patients. He has a sense of humor that appeals to me. Patients? I usually forgot them as soon as episode ended, and sometimes even earlier.

I basically agree. This series is all about human interaction, and House is an interesting specimen of human being to watch. The hospital is just the setting for the human drama/comedy that takes place there.
But how come we are discussing House in a thread dedicated to Russian TV series?
