Those About to Die

7/10

It's surprisingly good

In this series almost everything is excellent, with the exception of some moments that can spoil the impression, but may not do so. The main advantage of the project in the tension, which is constantly increasing and does not give to take your eyes off the screen. Competently written conflicts between characters, what they want and what they get at the end, together with interesting and colorful characters, create an unforgettable atmosphere and strongly immerse in what is happening on the screen. All this is accompanied by very high quality scenery, without which the immersion would be worse.

I will note a couple more details that give charm to the series. The first is the main character. He is the engine of the plot, he himself sets the vector of its development. All the ups and downs of the protagonist is a matter of his own hands and whatever consequences did not occur, he will always find a way to turn the result in his favor.

Hence the problem of the series, namely the resolution of these conflicts. The scriptwriters did not always reach and some of the solutions to the conflicts look very strained and implausible (within the series) from which the tension suffers.

The second is how some decisions and actions affect others, and this influence can be after a few episodes, and maybe more. The result of actions taken by the protagonist is not always obvious and not always immediately reflected in the future. This shows the competent use of Chekhov's guns.
