1703 (2022– )
8/10
Once upon a time in Saint Petersburg
13 October 2022
A young police officer from Moscow called Vadik decides to take a very important step. He is transferred from the capital of Russia to St. Petersburg, to his troublemaker Masha. The couple has serious plans for future. He decidei to ask girl's parents for her hand and a heart. Everything seems to be going underthe plan. Though the guy needs to improve relations with his new partner, the gloomy and far from the friendliest character captain Gosha.

Gosha knows the city like the back of his hand, and it is much easier for him to work alone than with an annoying partner. But as you can understand, Gosha cannot avoid working with Vadik, and now these two guys are travelling around the city at night in order to find out who steals the bodies of girls from the local morgue and where that leads.

The beauty of the series is that it looks very seamless and at ease. I don't argue that it's quite strange, and even frightening at some points, but it's stylized to resemble a classic comedy, where irony prevails over the specifics and makes fun everyone, including the main characters, criminals and ordinary people.

I really enjoyed the series. It is memorable and far from the common ones. If you're keen on high-quality detective stories with a strong storyline, as well as black humor without borders, then "1703" is definitely worth your attention.
