I was surprised that Russian TV series could be of such good quality.
This show combines elements of detective, horror, and comedy.
What differentiates this show from others? Characters! We have a whole Adams-like family of freaking nice, and nicely freaking vampires from a Russian provincial town. There are Casanova-style Frenchman doctor, eccentric pain-in-the-ass countess-actress, and Sonya Blade style cold strong policewoman. And above them all an arch-vampire: in the form of provincial (Uncle Stan) gramp. All actors are perfect in their roles, but the gramp is played by one of the best Russian comical actor. This makes this story to be at first place a comedy. Horror and action are just spices to make it more intriguing, but main dish is dialogues between characters.
All series are connected with a fine plot, where you don't know what will happen next. Each episode ends in a way you NEED to watch next. The family of good vampires from episode to episode tries to keep their incognito while fighting with some evil vampires, and in the meantime proving their innocence to local authorities.
It does not have many special effects but all action scenes are good. Overall the show was made on a good 'Netflix' level. Central Russia's Vampires has a rating of the second top Russian TV series of all time.
