With its high production values, soap-opera-like watchability and entertainingly realistic portrayal of the sort of criminals which emerged from Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Brigada is highly recommended. Not to be compared to The Sopranos, Brigada is best appreciated by those who have an interest, or at least good knowledge of modern vs. pre-1991 Russia. Very popular in Russia, the series deserves to be marketed and broadcasted in the US and Europe.
