On August 28, 2017, on the First Channel, the premiere of the new detective television series “Security” took place. Let's find out what this project is about, what artists played in it, and how the audience accepted it.
A bit about "Security"
Before you consider the actors of the series "Security" (Channel One), it is worth learning about the project itself.
Although its premiere took place in 2017, the shooting was carried out 3 years ago, in 2014. However, due to the budget deficit, the installation and dubbing work dragged on for several years.
The script for the series was written on the basis of a series of three books by A. Kivinov, "Personal Security Zone." At the same time, it was the author who was engaged in the adaptation, who in the past presented the audience with “Streets of Broken Lights” and “Deadly Force”.
The project was directed by the famous artist Nikita Vysotsky. By the way, he also played one of the main roles.
TV format
This project consists of 4 investigative stories of the OSB department, in which its employees try to find werewolves in uniform.
Each investigation is devoted to 2 series. Total, "Security" consists of 8 episodes.
- "The ideal hunter" (1-2).
- “Panic button” (3-4).
- “Kinship” (5-6).
- “Probationary period” (7-8).
Summary
Before you begin to consider the actors and roles of the series "Security", it is worth learning about the four investigations conducted by the main characters.
The “Ideal Hunter” tells how senior security officer Kopeikin Kirill gets into the field of vision of the OSB. According to the denunciation of a certain young man, OSB officers find out that Kopeikin imposed a tribute to all drug dealers in the area entrusted to him.
Olga Gorina, senior OSB operative, is tasked with leading the investigation.
In order not to attract special attention of Kopeikin, she is trying to establish friendly relations with him. In the future, between Cyril and Olga, a romance arises. At the same time, the woman remains faithful to her duty, although she does not want to believe in the guilt of her dear man.
In the center of the plot of the “Panic Button” is another love story. It all starts with the fact that on the highway, unknown people kill police lieutenant Sergei Mikhalev and his companion. OSB investigators conclude that one of Mikhalev’s colleagues is behind the murder. To find out exactly who, Svetlana Rodionova is sent to the department.
At the same time, the girl has her own goal to participate in this dangerous operation. The fact is that she is hopelessly in love with her colleague, Nikolai Boykov. And he oversees this operation. So, working together, Svetlana gets a chance to get close to him.
The story “Relationships” tells about the difficult personal life of the head of the department - Colonel Boris Tsarev. Known for his honesty and integrity, he is horrified to find out that his own daughter is meeting with Anton Shatunov, the suspect in financial fraud - the OEEP operative officer. Future father-in-law believes that the young man is confused and is trying to help him find a way out.
At the same time, Anton himself, thanks to the assurances of his colleagues, believes that Tsarev covers all frauds in the area and wonders why a man is teaching his life. Meanwhile, Shatunov accidentally finds out something that he should not know, and they are going to kill him.
At the center of the final OSB investigation is their new employee, Roman Fokin.
He learns that his close friend is involved in the murder of a famous businessman. Fokin is at a crossroads: either surrender a comrade, or hide his guilt.

Reviews and reviews
After reviewing the content of the series of the series "Security", actors and roles, as well as the format of this project, it is worthwhile to find out how the audience met him.
Since the project was shot according to the books of Andrey Kivinov, many viewers inevitably compared it with the Street of Broken Lights. Unfortunately, the comparisons were not in favor of “Security”, since although the project has a larger budget, the picture loses the hit of the 90s in many ways.
In particular, a lot of critical reviews went to the main actors, actors the series "Security" (Channel One), by Alexandra Mareeva, Anna Arefieva and Nikita Vysotsky. Their game was called "mediocre." At the same time, the work of Vorobyov and Pletnev pleased many viewers.
There were many complaints about the sluggish development of the plot due to its excessive load of extraneous facts. Often, viewers were not easy to understand what was happening, and had to revise the series. One of the main culprits of this is Andrei Kivinov, who allegedly could not adequately adapt his works.
In fairness, it is worth noting that when creating a film or series, a lot depends on the work of the director, as well as the operator and installation specialist. Therefore, blaming everything on Kivinov is stupid, because his books were really interesting.
As for the general opinion, “Security” was recognized as a good series for one-time viewing, but no more.
