New Series 'Crystal' Challenges Good and Evil, Premieres This Fall

A new series, 'Crystal', is set to challenge conventional notions of good and evil, delving into the root causes of criminal behavior. Directed by Dushan Gligorov and shot by Batur Morgachev, this psychological drama aims to provoke thought rather than entertain.

The series follows two investigators, Anton Vasilyev and Nikolai Shraiber, who are as distinct in their approach as they are effective in their work. Vasilyev is empathetic and personally invested, while Shraiber remains logical and composed. Together, they not only solve crimes but also help mend shattered lives.

'Crystal' tells the story of a child's shattered soul and the fine line between victim and criminal. It's a deep exploration of how childhood trauma can shape adulthood, often turning individuals into monsters. The series is not about violent scenes, but about creating a sense of unease and horror through muted colors and sharp changes in plans, as seen in the work of Gligorov and Morgachev.

With its focus on psychological complexity and human drama, 'Crystal' (18+) promises to be a thought-provoking series that challenges viewers to question their understanding of good and evil. It premieres this fall.
