The best of the best is Mukhtar!
Who has not heard of the already legendary shepherd named Mukhtar? Yes, of course, all or almost all. In any case, many at least once stopped for five minutes at the TV screen while they were showing the next episode of the series “Mukhtar. A new trace. ” The actors and the roles performed by them are also familiar to the audience. If not by last name, then by name for sure. True, many fans of this series are unhappy with the change of actors, being confident that, getting used to one person, I do not want to see others instead.
But, despite the good acting work of professionals (and how could it be otherwise?), The first place for all seasons remains with the shepherd dogs, who take turns playing the role of the main character - Mukhtar, or Flies, as his operatives affectionately call him. This can not cause surprise, because the dog gives himself up to work, like a real detective, and she manages to solve crimes much better than operatives and investigators. Perhaps many investigations would have come to a standstill if a smart, resourceful and very quick-witted dog did not help people.
It is the four-legged actor who always remains at his best. His intuition, scent and skills can only be envied. This is completely unusual for people. Shepherd and in the new season “Mukhtar. A new trail ”(the actors here seem to go by the wayside) remains the highlight of the series. Still: it still serves for the good of human society with its good deeds.
And finally ...
Many spectators as whole families sit in the evenings at the TV to watch “Mukhtar. A new trace. ” The actors involved in the film make us forget about the injustice that happens in everyday life. They give hope to people that justice, in spite of everything, exists and even triumphs. This series looks very easy and the audience likes with its sincerity and kindness. Perhaps this is one of the few projects involving animals that appear on Russian television, which you can (and even sometimes useful) to watch.
Not everyone liked the change of actors. Many are unhappy that they removed Kesha and Selskaya. Without them, the series is no longer the same as before. But nothing remains in place, everything moves forward, as well as the idea of this long story.
Be that as it may, the actors of the series “Mukhtar. New Trail ”played really talented. And let there be some flaws, everything is reset to a good end to each case investigated in the series.
It is impossible not to recall once again the main character - the wonderful Mukhtar with such clever, understanding eyes, carrying out all the commands of the owner. But at the same time, the dog has its own character and even weaknesses (he never misses a moment to pull sandwiches from the table). Members of a close-knit team are accustomed to consider Mukhtar not only their colleague, but also a friend. Work with such a dog is very dangerous, because you have to throw yourself under bullets and a knife in order to detain the criminal, you must close the owner with yourself, in which case.
The anxious attitude of the dog towards children and defenseless people is perfectly shown in the series.
A positive aspect of the series is the fact that in such a variety of detective stories and pictures about the work of the police, this story is divided into not very long series, there are practically no scenes with blood, there are many of our smaller brothers - dogs, horses, parrots.
