Russian shows

Heyyy does anyone know good russian shows - series or cartoons - to watch? Trying random stuff on YouTube was... something. That’d be nice to get some references :D Please take into account that I’m not fluent so it must at least have subs in English ;-;

[frecklesandpoverty]

anyone else seen this show? I need someone to vent with lol.

I started watching a Russian show on Amazon Prime, called Vyzhit Posle (The Day After), a few days ago, and I’m almost done with season 1. I neeeeed someone to talk to about this show! It started off kind of boring, but now people are dead/dying, and a couple I ship just made me cry. 

It was the scene where Valera is talking to Aijan while she’s unconscious and on the scientist guy’s couch. He says she needs to wake up so she can draw a tattoo for him, and if she wanted him to grow his hair out long, he would do that for her. I’m so sadddddddd. I really want her to be okay and not turn into one of the muriyanas or whatever they call them. :( Irina’s dad needs to hurry up and make the vaccine already!

OK, I felt in the mood for a WW2 show, and Russian made a ton of them, so I went looking and stumbled on 1941/1942/1943 (each season is named after a year) and the OTP is a Russian Partisan x Nazi Officer?

This is so insane, I simply must check it out!

Like...WHAT?!

Poor heroine of Snipers! Look at her so happy with her shiny German boyfriend circa 1940!

What can possibly go wrong, she probably thinks! His homicidal murdering millions dictator just signed a BFF pact with out homicidal murdering millions dictator - our countries will live in peace forever.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Wellllll, I have never seen my all-time favorite “enemies to lovers” trope portrayed as succinctly as in the credits for Snipers: Love Under Target, the doomed romance to end all doomed romances - between a Soviet and German snipers in WW2.

I NEED TO GO TO BED BUT I WANT TO WATCH IT SO BADLY!!!

[dangermousie]

This is certainly the most original reason to give flowers to someone: thanks for shooting the German plane on my tail!

In other news, I found a Russian show I am watching that actually has English subs! It’s called Истребители (literally translated as Fighter (planes or pilots) but on youtube with english subs as The Attackers.)

THEY ARE BOTH FIGHTER PILOTS KILLING NAZIS IN WW2!!! He’s a former political prisoner who’s been “rehabilitated” (he’s from a “problematic” background) and she’s getting over a break-up and fighting the advances of the political operative. In between they shoot down lots of planes.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Well, I dumped Lady Captain when it morphed into “his ex wife is crazy and evil and stole their baby while claiming it died” (even I have my limits) and instead decided to check out Forget Me Nots (Незабудки), 90% because the guy is mega hot and 10% because heroine’s motto seems to be, like the Mounties’ “she always gets her man.”

She’s about to go off to college when she meets and hopelessly falls for sexy sexy military officer, Artyom. Officer has zip interest in her. Alyona, our heroine, is not deterred. And when Aryom gets falsely convicted of something and exiled (?!), she decides fuck education, I am gonna follow him into exile like a Decembrist wife. (Someone should make a show about them, btw.)  So basically like Felicity, if you replaced New York with jail and the object of her affection was actually hot.

MMMMMM YES PLEASEEEEEE

[dangermousie]

(Yes, I realize I am watching two different Russian period shows about crooks set in Odessa at the same time. Whatever).

When you are a detective - things apparently to do with a lady who is helping run a most wanted gang (and is the gf of its leader) - make-outs, sleep-overs, breakfasts, marriage proposals and canning. Why oh why is this not a kdrama?

I mean, crooks, first loves, angst, hilarious schemes, love triangles,crazy outfits etc. 

I am madly in love with this not because it’s decent (which it is), but because the decor and the vibe reminds me so much of my childhood. Ahhhhh.

[dangermousie]

OMG! So excited about this. Just got my hands on “Once Upon a Time in Odessa” (if you want to watch it with English subs, it’s on youtube under that name, actually), which is a 12-ep Russian series about Mishka Yaponchik, the Jewish mob boss/revolutionary (I guess those were the days :P) of Odessa in the 1910s. YESSSS! He is the real life guy who Isaac Babel based his famous character of Benya Krik on and it looks so scrumptious and awesome and EEEEEEE! Prepare for caps!

Also, did I mention English subs?   

[dangermousie]

OMG, the credit sequence is so retro and gorgeous. I am already obsessed.
