The first foreign television series - a wild success
When serial "soap operas" first appeared in the 90s, the viewer did not have much choice. But these foreign television series have also become very popular.
Almost all of the CIS followed the difficult fate of the slave girl Izaura. The next day at work, people shared their impressions, wondered whether the educated slave would be given freedom, and whether she could stay with her beloved.
Santa Barbara quickly became a household word. This series aroused in many no less interest than "Slave Izaura". Long and convoluted stories are now often referred to as Santa Barbara.
The heroines of Veronica Castro, like some other protagonists of the series of that time, lost their children, memory, eyesight. On the way to their love, girls and boys faced huge obstacles. But it was all the more interesting to watch foreign "soap operas".
Russian TV series
At that time, TV viewers loved foreign television series, since there were no Russian ones yet. But the domestic film industry also quickly began to develop in this direction. True, not all actors agreed to take part in what they called "low-standard art."
However, the considerable funds that producers pay to participate in the filming, the popularity that almost daily appearance on the screens gives, have changed the worldview of many artists.
Over time, Russian TV shows have become of better quality. They no longer had primitive plots with loss of memory, substitution of children. But there was invariably the presence of "good" and "bad". Without the latter, it would be boring, because it is they who come up with sophisticated intrigues so that life does not seem like honey to positive heroes. But those, in the end, prevail, and goodness celebrates victory, as it should be.
