Review of Istrebiteli

I couldn't stop watching this and found the series massively entertaining. The action is gripping and has you shooting at the screen. I welled up all the time with the romance and tragedy and the cast were brilliant. Cleverly written and completely palatable for western European viewers' tastes. Ekaterina Vilkova is superb as the woman flying ace, hard on the outside and fighting her inner emotional needs. Mariya Andreeva gives a storming performance, too, displaying international merit in the production. The subtitles could be improved for grammar, spelling and nuances, but that is not a fatal flaw and far outweighed by the whole thing. Don't miss the sequel series Attackers: The Last Fight, which is even better.
