The series “The Boy’s Word” tops all ratings in Russia. Moralists and MPs only increase views

Over the past two years, the South Korean project “The Squid Game” has become the leader in views and popularity among TV series in Russia. No one has managed to get ahead of him until today.

Zhora Kryzhovnikov’s sensational novelty “The Boy’s Word. Blood on the Asphalt” is now the leader in Russia according to the Kinopoisk Pro index. This service measures the popularity of TV series based on Yandex and Google data.

For the week from November 27 to December 3, 2023, the series gained 3394 interest points for the Russian performance. This is 2 times more than the Squid Game (1556 points).

The popularity of the game for everyone, even deputies

Initially, the project quickly became the leader of Kinopoisk thanks to its atmosphere and cast.

The Children’s Ombudsman has ordered a review of the sustainability of censorship due to the “romanticization of gangsterism.” At the same time, Roskomnadzor also joined the turn.

Today, producer Andrei Razin appealed to the prosecutor’s office because of the song by the leader of “Tender May” Yuri Shatunov, which was performed in the series “The Boy’s Word.” He blames the authors for intellectual property issues.

And even this is not all. The Chairman of the State Duma Committee for Family Protection, Nina Ostanina, sent letters to the Investigative Committee and Roskomnadzor with the idea of ​​checking “The Boy’s Word” for propaganda of prohibited information.

I ask you, dear Andrei Yuryevich, to check two series – “The Boy’s Word” and “Food Block” – for propaganda and dissemination of prohibited information in them that can cause harm to the younger generation, including harm to the life and health of children, as well as the entire Russian society.

And the other day in Irkutsk, a group of teenagers killed a 15-year-old peer standing with a group of friends at a bus stop. There was a similar scene in the series. Many immediately drew parallels. However, one of the detainees assured the president that he had not watched the series. The regional Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs also officially denied the relationship with the series.

Against the backdrop of this news, the Chairmanship of the Union of the Father’s Region, Sergei Mayorov, said that such series are dangerous for teenagers, who all perceive reliability and face value.

And in the wake of constant discussion, the ratings of the project, along with its results, were only confirmed.
