It is always pleasant to see a fantasy series made in countries other than the United States. Especially the special effects have their own characteristics. I especially feel that the origination of the beginning 12 years ago is very good. Of course, things in Europe are not as bright as American movies, and some parts are still a bit impatient. What I particularly like is the contemporary Russian reality that it embodies, subways, concerts, theaters, supermarkets, tunnels, etc.... In particular, it also puts some real-critical things. For example, there are "Nestlé ads" in supermarkets and poor old people. As the first part of the trilogy, it still conveys all the elements very well. Vampires also need licenses and supervision, a very new concept. Although the idea of confrontation between good and evil and destiny and resistance is still somewhat old-fashioned.
Compared to the second part, it feels dull.
