the series be mediocre . director work be just invisible good actor play well and not so good actor play not so well . camera be static and special effect be cheap . the cat behemot be just a joke . rimsky be not suppose to be a clown a show . new character play by gaft be add for a very obvious reason to educate new generation who can not read between line in the book . but what be more important the series be miss bulgakov spirit and sour sense of humor . only scenes that be suppose to be serious and sad look attractive . clearly the series be make for people who have never read the book . i agree with the previous reviewer very disappointing .
