I watched the crazy series “The King and the Jester”. The pot is more alive than all people

On Kinopoisk, the release of the first series of the series “The King and the Jester” was released.

Already with the first trailer of the novelty, it seems that the viewer may like it. But still doubts. However, they approached the preparation with all responsibility, because everyone who is related to the project, one way or another, interacted with the cult punk band.

One of the producers was Igor “Panker” Gudkov, who filmed three sense-concerts for Kish, and Andrey “Knyaz” Knyazev and his wife Agata also wrote to the ranks of the producers. The soundtrack for the TV series the younger brother of “Pot” was written by Alexei Gorshenyov. Well, in the chair of the showrunner, Dmitry Nelidov, who is responsible for the “End of the World” and “Food Block”, comfortably sat down.

We have already reviewed the novelty and are in a hurry to share our impressions.

Make yourself at home, traveler

The plot is divided into two lines: the real story of the group and the fantasy world in which its members participate.

What is the series about: this is the story of how punks from St. Petersburg chose the name of the group, gave their first concerts, gathered a full hall of the Yubileiny, performed for the first time in Moscow and at the main venues of the country.

In parallel with the history of the formation of groups and the relationship between its members, Pot and Prince go to the fairy-tale world to save the princess from the captivity of the sorcerer. On the way, they meet, about whom they sing in their songs.

The main problem for many fans of the rock band may be precisely the fact that it was the “Prince” who became the main inspirer of the project. He and “Pot” had long disagreements about copyright, everyone knew about their eternal conflicts.

This quality is also on the account, where the frontman Kisha was a reckless punk, who actually came to give a damn about everything, and the second leader became a kind of guardian angel. But, judging by the results of the observation, this approach “went” to the majority.

The story from reality tells how the group formed, grew and finally became a team across the country. From the very first seconds, two different visions of the world are revealed in the “Pot” and “Prince” – on the day when they assembled the “Olympic”. Mikhail believes that it is necessary to leave beautifully at the peak of popularity by committing suicide, and Andrei is trying to dissuade him from this venture.

What I personally liked was well-chosen cast. What is worth only one Konstantin Plotnikov, very similar to Gorshenyov. Yes, and Knyazev will have his own cameo in the movie.

Secondly, it pleases driving manner: This is not so much a biopic as a work of fiction, where fairy tales are superimposed on reality. And this point was a success for the author. In case of occurrence, so far is going very well. If the same style continues, then it will be a wonderful series.

All dialogues are built around the group to one degree or another. There is almost no empty talk here. At the same time, they are competently combined with music, of which there are many in the project.

The authors have achieved a perfect balance so that nothing is visible, and it is only possible to achieve a perfect balance.

Visually pleasing all the time

The creators accidentally fell into the frenzied energy of a rock band. You feel your emotional state along with the characters.

The smallest details and even elements of the description that can be worn with musicians are repeated here. The author of the authentic things of The King and the Jester will help with this. Many are set to the highest level, they convey the dynamics of a high level and allow you to better increase this level.

As for the fantasy world, he did it simply, but tastefully. One feels the inherent style of the group, even in this format, because fairy tales are reproduced from the songs of Kish. And the characters turn into the same stories.

Some of the footage was deliberately taken with an amateur camera. It seems that biographical cuts from the life of real artists are inherent in us. And the performances of the group filmed for the film also convey that concerts are taking place. It seems that you did not see the audience, namely their concert.

This is one of the most unusual series of recent years. And he manages to hook not only the lovers, but especially the visual.

Must see

If you are a fan or are just okay with Kishu, then this series is just made for you.

It allows you to better understand both the musicians themselves and their life, and also reveals great behind-the-scenes stories and shows many small members about the band that you might not know about. Looks decent. I think it will be even better.
