Modern viewers of television series usually perceive them either as a source of endless funny jokes ("Kitchen", "Voronin", "Interns"), or as a collection of criminal tales about the confrontation between "cops" and criminals ("Capercaillie", "Street of Broken Lights", "Track"). However, the plot range of soap operas is expanding every year. There are a lot of domestic TV shows. Almost all of them are quite long, some of them number more than a hundred episodes. A vivid example of a domestic series with an unconventional storyline is the Zemsky Doctor project, the actors and roles in which were strictly selected in accordance with the creators' idea.
Melodrama of mass production
Serious medical series are quite often melancholy and dull, they deprive the viewer of the joy of life, but Zemsky Doctor is a pleasant exception. He is kind and bright, albeit sometimes a little fabulous. The picture tells about grief and fears, hopes and love, about those bright feelings and emotions that we so often are sorely lacking. The film is authentic, sincere and vital. Not surprisingly, the first season (2010) pleased the viewer, which entailed the release of several seasons to continue. So there appeared "Zemsky doctor. Continuation ”(another 16 episodes) in 2011, in 2012 -“ Zemsky doctor. Life anew ", and 20 episodes in 2013 -" Zemsky doctor. Return". And in September 2014, the final season 5 started on the channel “Russia 1” - “Zemsky doctor. Love contrary”. All the seasons of the Zemsky Doctor series, the actors and roles in which they realistically convey the atmosphere of the hospital and life outside it, often use real stories in the plot narrative.
Without any frills, but quality
A television series is one of the types of cinema art when kindness alone is not enough to get a competent, memorable picture. An impeccable, verified script, an interesting professional production, a workshop of acting and your own style, “highlight” are required. All of the above is in the film "Zemsky doctor." Actors and roles fit together perfectly, although the film is not only occupied by experienced representatives of the "old school". Once again, director M. Malich and cameraman K. Miromanov proved their professionalism, they performed their work masterfully, without any frills and masterpiece discoveries, but without convulsive throwing from one extreme to another, without vulgarity.
Story line

Therefore, having plunged headlong into a new life, the doctor begins to play a decisive role in the fate of most residents of the peripheral town, ranging from ordinary citizens to the mayor. The story of the capital’s doctor, who is acutely experiencing his career crisis, is far from new, but the plot is addictive and prompts you to watch to the end. In the television series everything is in moderation: and passions, and emotions, and dialogues.

Thanks to them, in 2010 the film held a leading position in the cinema rating of Russian soap operas. Therefore, creators inspired by success are releasing the sequel to the Zemsky Doctor series.
