It will come by accident: what premieres of TV series are waiting for us in May
May is a time of sunshine, warmth, flowers and love. For those who agree with this, the TV program in May offers the series "Off Campus", a film adaptation of the world's bestseller in the genre of a student romance novel. The rest are waiting for the crime thriller "Verdict", the mystical thriller "Gorodok" from the creators of "Very strange Cases" and, of course, the humorous saga of love for a small homeland "Kuzya. The path to success." Izvestia tells about the most interesting TV premieres in May.
"The verdict"
KION
May 1
In his youth, Savva fell into bad company, got involved with crime — and eventually ended up in prison for a murder he did not commit. After more than twenty years behind bars, he is finally released, dreaming of only one thing — to live peacefully with the woman he loves. However, the past does not leave him alone: someone is again trying to ruin Savva's life by dragging him into the network of crime. His life is once again filled with a sense of danger and impending disaster, which he seemed to have gotten rid of forever. And then he decides to look into the eyes of his persecutors and find out who and why robbed him of his future two decades ago. He does not yet know that it is dangerous to pursue the truth, and it is painful to find out...
The main role in The Verdict was played by Anton Vasiliev, a recognized master of the Russian detective thriller (Nevsky, Khrustalny, The Word of a Kid). He is accompanied by the matured Igor Vernik, whose current image also fits perfectly with the genre. And the presence of a rather detailed love story in the series gives hope for peace in the family: the question "what to watch?" it will not become a cause for discord, at least until the best half of the family finds out exactly whether the hero marries his own or not.
"Kuzya. The path to success"
TNT
May 4th
Edik Kuzmin, nicknamed Kuzya, having scandalously dropped out of university, returns to his native village of Agapovka, where he unexpectedly becomes first the head of a local collective farm, and then a successful businessman who manages to bring the collective farm to the heights of profitability. However, the rise to the top of the Forbes list is hindered by a villainous urban businessman who has decided to sell collective farm lands for road construction. In addition to these troubles, Kuzya is facing personal difficulties.: neighbor Vera and village fifa Dasha, the daughter of a bad businessman, compete in the fight for Edik's heart, periodically getting into ridiculous situations because of this and driving their beloved retired student into them...
"Kuzya. The Path to success" is a spin-off of the popular "Uni", which occupies an honorable fifth place in the rating of Russian TV series from "Medialogia". On the eve of the session, comedy will be just right for students: the idea that once you get expelled, you can become a director in a matter of weeks (albeit rural), secure yourself an excellent income and the love of girls from different social strata, undoubtedly, should cheer up the students. It's just strange for Eddie to protest against the construction of a road: at least in order to do physical education for the sake of health and vigor, he tramples a track almost as wide as a federal highway in the field. On the other hand, the guy is young, and if he starts to guess what's growing in the field, the collective farm will definitely become a millionaire.
"Off Campus"
Prime
May 13
Excellent student, popular singer and simply beautiful, Briar University student Hannah Wells is tearfully in love with another university star — muscular macho, football player and sweet dream of all Briar maidens Justin Kol. But Justin, alas, does not pay any attention to the girl. Hannah has to take matters into her own hands: she makes a deal with Garrett Graham, the captain of the university hockey team, who undertakes to play the role of Hannah's fiance in exchange for her help with her studies. However, the perfect plan devised by the beautiful Hannah suddenly develops quite differently from what was intended...
The series is based on the first book in a long series of youth novels about the defunct Briar University by Canadian writer Elle Kennedy, which have been released in millions of copies, translated into dozens of languages, and invariably bring tears to college-age girls. The producers were the creators of "Twilight" and Elle Kennedy herself. The screen has everything that is required for youth romance: beauties in mini, muscular beauties, girlish giggles, cheerful music and slow realization by inexperienced characters of what the audience guessed in the first quarter of an hour. Love will win, girls, get your handkerchiefs ready.
The Dutton Ranch
Paramount+
May 15
Beth Dutton and Rip Wheeler, back at their 7,000-acre ranch after a long absence, are struggling to get things right. The economic situation, alas, is not in their favor: competition is high, and it is not easy to get the farm out. In addition, Beth and Rip have an adopted son, Carter, whom Wheeler is going to raise as a real man who is ready to protect himself, his family and his land. This skill will be useful to him: after all, the events around the ranch are twisting into a tight knot, which, most likely, will only be able to be cut ...
"The Dutton Ranch" is another spin—off of the popular "Yellowstone", telling about the fate of the characters from the moment where their journey in the original series ended. Apparently, Yellowstone fans will enjoy the show: gang fights, fights, shootouts, explosions, fires and a harsh redistribution of property are waiting for them, just as they used to.
"Gorodok"
Netflix
May 21st
In a small town in the middle of the desert in New Mexico, there are no prospects, so the young people left here a long time ago. But the elderly feel great here: the elite pension for pensioners, which is equipped here, has everything to enjoy a life free from work. However, suddenly strange events begin to happen in an elite nursing home. It turns out that alien monsters are trying to take over the boarding house, who want to take away the remaining serene years of life from the old people. Oh, no, they need these years themselves! Determined pensioners unite, take up whatever weapons they can get their hands on, and stand up to defend their serene paradise from brazen aggressors.
The series was handled by Matt and Ross Duffer, the creators of Very Strange Cases, which is one of the top three Russian series ratings from Medialogy. Now the Duffers seem to have decided to switch from teenagers to the elderly. The main roles of the alien fighters were played by Alfred Molina ("Frida", "Boogie Nights", "Chocolate"), Golden Globe winner Geena Davis ("The Reluctant Tourist", "The Fly", "Thelma and Louise") and Oscar nominee Alfrey Woodard ("The Practice", "Desperate Housewives"). The stellar cast is in no way inferior to the cast of The Expendables in its genre, so you won't be bored anyway.
"Spider Noir"
Prime
May 27th
New York in the 1930s. Nameless evil awaits passersby in the dark streets, and monsters feel at home. Here, an elderly private detective, Peter Parker, drags out a miserable existence, having made many mistakes in his life and no longer believing that he is capable of helping anyone in this world. He himself had almost forgotten that he was actually a superhero, Spider—Man, who once dreamed of ridding the city of evil. And now his time has come: New York has no one to come to the rescue except the legendary Spider-Man, who will not be able to save everyone in need, but will be able to bring life back to the streets of New York - and at the same time himself.
The series is based on Spider-Man Noir comics and is made in full accordance with the canons of the genre: stone jungle, men with pistols, tired eyes and hats, femme fatales with long mouthpieces... Against this background, the elderly Parker looks like a sewage disposal at a decadent party, which, of course, only adds to the charm of what is happening. The roles of losers who have wasted their lives to the bottom, who only despair and anger give them the strength to surface, are the hobby of Nicolas Cage, who plays Peter Parker with obvious pleasure, to the fullest extent of his acting talent. The series is promised to be released in black and white, but this, of course, will not spoil it a bit. Rather the opposite.
