The sequel was disappointing through and through.
The last 22nd season of the legendary series “Secrets of the Investigation” has come to an end. It came out shorter than expected – they released 16 episodes instead of the usual 24. But it also benefited, because the audience breathed a sigh of relief when the action was over.
The first seasons made a splash in the early 2000s, and Masha Shvetsova became the unofficial face of the entire Russian investigation. Then no one thought that the story would drag on for 20 years. But, as is often the case with long-running projects, the series went downhill over time. According to the audience, the new season did not bring anything interesting to the storyline. But most of all they were indignant that Maria could not choose a man and, finally, calm down.
Her colleague Kolonkova clearly identified the problem: Shvetsova does not know what she needs, and therefore cannot see someone else’s happiness. This is a common occurrence, because many people face the same problem in life. But to see Mary’s eternal trials on the screen is a dubious pleasure.
