Hell has never been so attractive to mere mortals before.
Heker117 January 2023
What associations can arise with when you hear the abbreviation UPRD? Well, obviously not with a service that distributes the souls of people, choosing where to send them: to hell or heaven. The task is quite responsible, it requires a careful approach, and there is no turning back. Well, only if someone suddenly did not go to hell without any distributions. Then it is still possible to fix something.

Maxim, recently appointed director of the UPRD, begins to face a huge number of problems. But the main thing is the conclusion of an agreement between Nicholas and the devil. Valentina was just about to go on vacation, but not this time. Before Maxim and Valya there is a huge series of work, where they must investigate and bring everyone to clean water, otherwise, ordinary mortals will go to hell. And nobody needs it, because such crimes need to be eliminated as quickly as possible.

I have something to say, because I have already watched the second season, and there are a lot of impressions. Very cool, harmoniously mixed humor and seriousness of the topic. This, by the way, is a huge plus that, it would seem, a serious topic is presented to us in a humorous style, and the humor is appropriate, and not some obscene jokes. It wasn't like that in the first season. The second season went more, this is quite justified and cannot but rejoice, super! They did not fail with the continuation, well done.

An additional motivation to watch for me was the cast. I really love the main performers of the roles, and even they have already entered me in their images in the first season. Priluchny, as always, in his repertoire, a brutal "major" on a joke, and Rozanova turned out to be more reasonable. But I really liked how the hero of Paul revealed himself in the messenger - very unexpectedly. Kortukov became even more humorous here, well done, he perfectly diluted the atmosphere and cheered up. In principle, the cast is professional, this quality of the series is even higher.

Will I review? There will be a second season for sure. But if there is a third season, then I will review everything together. The series turned out to be interesting, with a share of irony, at the same time with a deep meaning. And also with very interesting characters.

Even Hell can't scare you anymore...

Warning: Spoilers
Maxim is the director of the organization for the distribution of souls. Is it even possible to be a director without running into any problems? The ex-husband of Valentina, who has gone on a well-deserved rest, apparently does not think so. Nikolai not only enters into an agreement with the devil, which brings a lot of problems to the soul distribution department, but also cannot refuse it, because it will already cost him his life. Therefore, there is no choice. Nooo... is it really so easy to send innocent souls to hell now? The actions of Nikolai make Valya return to help Maxim, because he is her daughter's fiancé, and even a good friend. You can't leave him alone in trouble.

I wildly like comedies, and even more so non-standard formats. For me, this series makes you think about something more important, about the existence of life after death. For most of the series, while watching, you already know the ending, but here it's hard to predict. The idea itself is very interesting, I have not watched similar series before, and I am very glad that I discovered a new genre thanks to this fantasy comedy. Especially the second season.

It's no secret that before watching something, we get acquainted with the characters and the cast of the film or series. Here, first of all, I was attracted by Dobronravov and Kortukov. I have been following their work for a very long time, I watched a lot of TV shows with them. Irina Rozamnova - I watched a little with her, but here she got used to the role quite well. Well, I won't say anything about Priluchny, he is gorgeous as always and that says it all. I also liked Daria Melnikova very much - one of my favorite, young actresses, and here she went to my 100, but somehow Mirkurbanov was not at all impressed.

I'm very glad I decided to watch it. Before that, I didn't watch fantasy comedies in everything, but now, thanks to the "Penultimate Instance", I will watch more like this. That's it for the evening! The second season lived up to my expectations, even more than. The series left a pleasant aftertaste and impression!

It's better not to mess with Nikolai.
sdhss8 January 2023
How to live after death? In hell or heaven? It is this issue that the department for the distribution of souls deals with, the representative and director of which is Maxim. Everything is fine, life is getting better: a high position, and everything is fine on a personal level. But it was not there. Everything could have been just fine if it weren't for Valentina's ex-husband, Nikolai, who, for unknown reasons, begins to cooperate with the devil and if he terminates the contract, he will die within a few seconds. Therefore, there is no choice, Nikolai the devil begins to send ordinary mortals to hell without trial or investigation.

And what kind of stories they do not meet. For example, Maxim and Valentina find the insurance agent Borya, who also sold his soul for the possibility of the first contract with the aliens. Maxim managed to convince Borya, but he, after going to Nikolai's office, changes his mind and refuses to obey Maxim. And one grandfather made a contract for youth. In general, very unusual and interesting.

This series is far from just a comedy, although there are a lot of cool jokes here. This is also an occasion to reflect on what actually happens after death. After the first season, I definitely realized that I want more! I want a second season, and yes, after watching the series in full with the new season, I want to say that it was incredibly cool! The last series for me became an unexpectedly pleasant ending, I imagined myself differently. But I also had to shed a tear. If there's a third season, I'll be looking forward to it!

Of the brighter actors, I liked Dobronravov. He's just one of my favorite actors, so he became my favorite character here. Recently, I haven't watched a lot of movies with Priluchny, although there have been a lot of them lately, but here it's just like fate itself brought together. I have known Rozanova for a very long time, and I really like her specific game. In general, the acting game looks organic, given the plot.

Well, now we can summarize. The plot hooked me even after watching the first episodes of the first season, this is a fact. I am more than satisfied with the acting. Right now, when it's cold outside and you don't want to go anywhere, it's a pleasure to watch. The second season was a real surprise!
