7/10
no expectations, big surprise

Warning: Spoilers
I finished only the third episode, but im triggered to write a review, cause im quiet amused of this series and also kind of amazed. its a russian production - and yes - its no hollywood blockbuster, but wow, i really like this!!!! The series is really an entertaining, good scifi jewel. At some corners maybe a bit rough, but still respectable. Something different - and if you lower your expectations and turn a blind eye here and there, you will get a great scifi movie with a respectable story. its a solid 7 from my side.

In short - what is it about??? tiny (copeable) spoiler: the whole world becomes silent, except Moscow and its border district. Everybody seems to be dead everywhere... 7 billion people, leaving 50 million with the big question - what the hell happened. Nobody has a plan. The military is sent out on a reconnaissance tour, but again and again troop battalions disappear without a trace - the first outpost in the quarantine zone was successfully established. From there, the military will go on a reconnaissance tour... everything is pretty crazy, because nobody really has a plan what's going on here... and also super funny, this event. And in Moscow, people are a little bit crazy... understandably. It actually takes an exciting course... again and again there are little aha-effects - but not too much, so that the suspense remains. I'm looking forward to the next episodes - but I'd like to recommend them now.
