The series "Chikatilo" tells us the story of the most dangerous maniac of the USSR. He was being hunted for ages, the investigation resulted in a deadlock many times. Some innocent people were convicted, but finally the murderer was caught and in this series we are able to follow progress and details of the investigation which helped to expose Chikatilo and put him on trial.
The maniac himself is played by Dmitry Nagiyev and he does a tremendous dramatic work. You look at him and you see the real slaughterer. It's a really powerful reincarnation. Nagiyev plays a kind, decent family man and a terrible monster that kills without a shadow of a doubt at the same time.
In addition, I would like to emphasize the strong direction of Sarik Andreasyan, who has repeatedly proved that he is a confident drama director. After mastering his skills on "Neproshchennyy" and "Zemletryasenie", Andreasyan approached the creation of "Chikatilo" with all confidence, an assertive and catchy show that will instantly dragging the audience into its essence.
"Chikatilo" came out as a strong, tense show. I advise all fans of the thriller genre to watch it. You'll definitely like it. Pay special attention to Nagiyev! He gives out the strongest acting here.
