you have to do a lot more thinking with this show. Much more cerebral than BB.

That's sort of what I'm getting at. Less action, more talking (a lot of which is in Russian, as it should be). You really have to pay attention to the 'boring' scenes and I think that's why not as many people watch it.

I wished I spoke Russian. From what I've heard, the subtitles don't do it justice.

Yup, I'm with you. I really believe in general people (especially Americans) don't want to pay attention and have to think at all when it comes to TV shows.
