Revealing mistakes: Towards the end of episode 13 we get too see a close-up of Phil's left hand. Even though he has been hospitalized in a full coma for several years, he has a suspicious amount of dirt under his fingernails. In reality a coma patient would hardly have the chance to get his fingernails dirty.

Movie Connections:

Spin off Boy s tenyu (2005)

An absolutely great show.

The plot is great but I dont think that a non russian mentality would understand all the aspects of the story. Personally I think it's a great mix of crime, friendship and how the surcumstances can change people, weather they want to change or not. It's really a more fun way of displaying criminals. The show has a very good style/atmosphere to it. Great acting, all the actors are very diffirent, they look diffirent and they act diffirantly, but everyone did a great job. I love the music. Also a great thing is that it doesnt matter weather you have seen all the spidoes or not, basically you can start watching at any time and still get whats going on.

I would deffinatly recomend it.
