TV series Better Than Us
review by Mike Haberfelner
|
As the TV show where superbot Arisa (Paulina Andreeva) is to compete
with another superbot is only one day away and Arisa has become a bit
unruly, Victor (Aleksandr Ustyugov) has Georgy's (Kirill Käro) wife (Olga
Lomonosova) and daughter (Vitaliya Kornienko) taken hostage, just to
ensure Georgy's cooperation during the show. When inspector Varlamov
(Kirill Polukhin) finds Georgy's place empty and traces that lead to
Victor and the Cronos Corporation, he sees his time come to finally get a
warrant to search the company. Meanwhile, Georgy's son Egor (Eldar
Kalimulin) plans to infiltrate Cronos in an attempt to free his family,
though he has little idea as to how - until he happens upon the
Liquidators who want to sabotage the show by destroying Arisa. But they
run into Georgy as they attempt to do so, and he convinces them to change
plan and save his family. In the TV show, Arisa wins over all hearts
when she breaks the show's rules and saves a little boy - but off screen
she might develop more and more into a timebomb. With this
episode, the series returns to true form: While the last few installments
seemed to endlessly drag things along without really telling anything new,
this one succeeds in telling a story with its own arc that still ties up
all its threads and many threads from past episodes. And above that, it
manages to keep up tension throughout.
