On Monday, October 3, a new comedy series Nina will be released on TNT and the Premier online platform.
The showrunner of the project was Zhora Kryzhovnikov, who worked on such projects as “Call DiCaprio!”
and "Bitter!".
The cast included Victoria Isakova (“Thaw”, “Tenderness”), Sergey Burunov (“Policeman from Rublyovka”, “House Arrest”), Andrey Burkovsky (“Call DiCaprio!”, “Mediator”), Sergey Lavygin (“ Hotel Eleon", "Mommies") and many others.
The plot focuses on the main character Nina.
She lives in an expensive cottage near Nizhny Novgorod with three children, each from different husbands.
The eldest Dasha (Valentina Lyapina) is the daughter of an unsuccessful businessman and Nina's first husband Alex, the son Danya (Savely Albutov) was born during Nina's marriage to the insane professor Slava, who constantly gets into ridiculous situations, and the youngest Maria (Marta Evstigneeva) is the child of the current and the most successful spouse of Kostya.
All her life, Nina lives as a loving mother and housewife, trusting her fate to men.
She was lucky with Kostya - he is successful, earns a lot, therefore he provides not only for his wife and his daughter, but also for children from previous marriages.
By the way, even her ex-husbands Kostya sometimes gives money.
Despite divorces, Nina gets along well with all husbands, supports them and tries to help when they need her.
This, perhaps, is her main problem - the heroine is so kind and sensitive that she is always willing, for example, to borrow money from the family budget for Alex's new business, who skillfully uses it.
The serene life comes to an end when Kostya finds a new lady of the heart - the arrogant brunette Alina (Yulia Khlynina).
She quickly takes control of the whole life of her lover.
Thanks to cunning manipulations, she kicks Nina and the children out of the cottage, tries to force her to sign divorce papers, and also forbids Kostya to see his wife and communicate.
Unfortunately for the main character, Kostya is strongly subject to female influence, so Alina is unable to resist.
A lost mother of many children packs her things in a few hours and moves with her children to a one-room, shabby apartment on the outskirts of the city.
She has neither a job nor an airbag.
Nina desperately tries to contact her ex-husband and find out what is going on, but Alina stops any attempts to talk to her husband.

Despite the rather luxurious life that Nina lived up to a certain point, she is not spoiled and thinks not only about herself.
Nina remains kind and open in all situations, which is rare.
However, this medal has another side: it is difficult to be angry with your soul wide open, especially at the one you love.
And sometimes it may seem that Nina does not have an inner core that would help her isolate herself from overly annoying ex-husbands who demand money, attention and help from her, and also let Kostya understand his mistakes.
And, of course, the heroine is unable to put her husband's new passion in its place.
By the way, Victoria Isakova looks very organic in the role of the sweet and feminine Nina.
One gets the feeling that the image was written off from the actress herself.
Nevertheless, it's nice to see how with each new problem Nina becomes stronger and finds a way out of the situation.
She may cry, but then get up and get down to business.
Despite the fact that the plot is uncomplicated, the very idea - to show a female image that is not typical today in cinema - attracts the attention of the viewer and draws you in from the very first episode.
After all, Nina does not seek to compete with men and defend her rights.
She is the one who says: “I'm a girl” when it comes to, for example, a broken car.
However, behind her femininity there is a strong personality that reveals itself as problems pile up.
Male images are also revealed gradually.
The viewer reads the character of Slava and Alex from their manner of communication, behavior next to children and Nina, as well as how they cope with life's difficulties.
And after analyzing all the men of the main character, we can conclude that Nina clearly has problems with choosing a partner.
Everyone is infantile to a certain extent, unable to take responsibility and, it seems, in terms of fortitude is much weaker than Nina herself.
In addition, they all think more about themselves, often ignoring the feelings of the heroine.
It is worth noting that all the actors playing the roles of Nina's men adequately reflect the psychotypes and characters provided for their characters.
Sergey Burunov (Professor Slava) plays especially convincingly and brightly.
There are a lot of really funny moments and phrases in the series - fights and ridiculous quarrels between ex-spouses, Dani's threats to his older sister's boyfriend, etc.
The scene with Burunov and Lavygin in a karaoke bar turned out to be especially funny, where the performance of the first makes you laugh and empathize at the same time.
All in all, Nina is an enjoyable and exceptionally entertaining series that many viewers are sure to enjoy.
Plot twists and ridiculous situations in which the heroes of the tape find themselves help to keep their attention, and the light format of the sitcom (series of 20 minutes each) does not get tired of watching.
